Yacht Overview

The 46′ Cruiser accommodates up to 12 guests for day charters and 4 guests overnight across 2 private staterooms. The Master Stateroom features a comfortable queen-size bed with storage throughout. The Guest Cabin provides two single beds — suited for children or additional overnight guests. Both staterooms are air-conditioned with direct access to the two full heads, each with shower. The fully equipped galley features elegant wood cabinetry, a stove, microwave, refrigerator and freezer, coffee maker, and oven — everything needed for fresh food preparation and beverages throughout the charter. The open-concept cockpit is the social centerpiece of the vessel — premium surround sound system, comfortable seating throughout, and a layout that keeps the group together rather than spreading across multiple decks. The bow sun pad provides a second lounging area with open forward views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline ahead.

Why Charter the 46′ Cruiser in Miami?

The 46′ Cruiser is Miami Boat Charters’ most accessible private yacht — the right choice for couples, small families, and friend groups who want a fully crewed private charter experience without the footprint or cost of a larger superyacht. At 46 feet, this vessel is nimble on Biscayne Bay in a way that 70 and 100-foot vessels are not — the Cruiser anchors closer to Nixon’s Sandbar than any deeper-draft yacht in the fleet and navigates the waterways around Star Island and the Venetian Islands at a pace that gives guests more time at each location. Every charter includes a USCG-licensed captain, professional crew, fuel for the full local cruising route, water, sodas, and ice — all-in from $1,999 with no fuel surcharge at the end. Charters depart from Miami Beach Marina (300 Alton Road), Sea Isle Marina, or Fontainebleau Marina in half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) formats.

The standard 46′ Cruiser day charter route covers Government Cut for cruise ship views, the Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island celebrity home waterfront narrated by your captain, and a sandbar anchor stop at Nixon’s Sandbar in Key Biscayne — where guests swim in 2 to 4 feet of clear, flat bay water with the Miami skyline visible behind them. The vessel’s premium surround sound system runs throughout the anchor stop and the cruise. As the afternoon closes, the route continues north through Biscayne Bay for the downtown Miami skyline sunset return as the city lights reflect off the water. The 46′ Cruiser is built for Biscayne Bay day charter excellence — for overnight Bahamas and Florida Keys passages, our larger-fleet vessels starting with the 72′ Riva offer the fuel range and stateroom capacity for extended voyages.
