The 50′ Cranchi is an Italian-built motor yacht from Cranchi Yachts, manufactured in northern Italy — a brand known for its open-concept deck design philosophy that maximizes usable outdoor space relative to vessel length. The Cranchi’s signature illuminated stairwells, large swim platform, multiple sun pad positions, and spacious cockpit give 12 day charter guests more deck area per foot than most American-built vessels at this size. Two private staterooms accommodate 4 overnight guests, with the Master featuring a queen bed and the VIP providing two single beds — both with dedicated heads and showers. The 50 Cranchi is specifically recommended for two routes in the Miami charter calendar: the Key Biscayne coastal cruise along the island’s western shoreline, and the Miami River Brickell passage through the downtown waterway corridor — routes where the vessel’s proportions and shallow draft give guests closer proximity to the waterfront than larger yachts can achieve.

Yacht Overview
The 50′ Cranchi accommodates up to 12 guests for day charters and 4 guests overnight across 2 private staterooms. The Master Stateroom features a queen-size bed with a private head and shower. The VIP Stateroom provides two single beds — suitable for friends, siblings, or children — with its own dedicated head and shower. The Cranchi’s interior design is distinctly Italian in character: the open-concept saloon maximizes the sense of space below deck with flowing sightlines from the galley through to the seating area, while illuminated stairwells provide both a safety feature and an eye-catching design element that sets this vessel apart from conventional motor yacht interiors. The surround sound system runs throughout the vessel from the saloon to the cockpit. The galley is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and stovetop for onboard meal preparation. On deck, the 50 Cranchi delivers its best features: multiple sun pads for the full group, ample seating throughout the cockpit, and a large swim platform at the stern that makes in-and-out water access at the sandbar effortless.
Why Charter the 50′ Cranchi in Miami?
The 50 Cranchi is an Italian-designed motor yacht — Cranchi builds their vessels in northern Italy, and the open-concept layout and exterior styling reflect an Italian sensibility for deck space and natural light that American-built vessels of the same length often do not match. The Cranchi’s deck-to-interior ratio is one of the best in the mid-size Miami charter fleet: more usable outdoor space per foot of vessel, a large swim platform, and multiple sun pad positions give 12 day guests genuinely comfortable outdoor living rather than crowded seating on a small aft deck. The illuminated stairwells below are a signature Cranchi design detail that guests consistently notice and photograph. Day charters on the 50 Cranchi include a USCG-licensed captain, professional crew, fuel for the full local Miami route, water, sodas, and ice — all-in from $1,999 for a 4-hour half-day charter, no fuel surcharge at the end. Charters depart from Miami Beach Marina (300 Alton Rd) for half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) formats.
The 50 Cranchi is particularly well-suited to two Miami routes that the larger and deeper-draft vessels in the fleet cannot navigate as well: the Key Biscayne coastal cruise — running close to the island’s western shore with clear views of the Key Biscayne lighthouse and Bill Baggs State Park — and the Miami River Brickell route, which takes guests through the urban waterway corridor under the Brickell Avenue Bridge and along the downtown river waterfront before returning through Biscayne Bay. The standard Biscayne Bay route also covers Government Cut, the Star Island celebrity home cruise narrated by your captain, and a Nixon’s Sandbar anchor stop where the large swim platform deploys for easy water access. The 50 Cranchi is optimized for local Biscayne Bay and Intracoastal day charter excellence. For overnight Bahamas or Florida Keys passages requiring extended offshore range, our 64′ Fairline and 72′ Riva provide the fuel capacity and stateroom configuration for multi-day voyages.

Frequently Asked Questions — 50′ Cranchi Charter Miami
Everything you need to know before booking the 50′ Cranchi in Miami.
The 50' Cranchi accommodates up to 12 guests for day charters and 4 guests overnight across 2 private staterooms — Master (queen-size bed, private head with shower) and VIP (two single beds, private head with shower). Multiple sun pad positions and a spacious cockpit give the full 12-person group comfortable outdoor space. The large swim platform at the stern provides easy in-and-out water access at the sandbar anchor stop.
The 50' Cranchi starts at $1,999 for a 4-hour half-day charter and $3,499 for an 8-hour full-day charter. All pricing is all-in — USCG-licensed captain, crew, fuel for the full local Miami cruising route, water, sodas, and ice included. No fuel surcharge at the end. Crew gratuity of 15 to 20% of the charter fee is the only additional cost, paid in cash to the captain at the end of the charter.
Two things distinguish the 50' Cranchi within the Miami Boat Charters mid-size fleet. First, the Italian open-concept deck design gives more usable outdoor space per foot of vessel than most American-built boats at this length — more sun pad positions, a larger cockpit, and a bigger swim platform. Second, the illuminated stairwells are a signature Cranchi design detail — built into the vessel's interior architecture for both safety and visual character. The Cranchi is also specifically recommended for guests who want the Key Biscayne coastal route or Miami River Brickell passage, which this vessel navigates well due to its proportions.
Yes — all charters on the 50' Cranchi are fully crewed. A USCG-licensed captain handles all navigation, route planning, and sandbar anchoring for the full charter duration. A professional crew member manages boarding, swim platform, and guest service throughout. No boating license or prior experience is required from any guest. Miami Boat Charters has operated fully crewed charters on Biscayne Bay since 2000.
Standard 4-hour Biscayne Bay route: Miami Beach Marina departure → Government Cut cruise ship channel transit → Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island celebrity home cruise narrated by your captain → Nixon's Sandbar anchor stop in Key Biscayne → downtown Miami skyline sunset return. The 50 Cranchi is also specifically recommended for the Key Biscayne coastal cruise — running close to the western shoreline with views of the lighthouse and Bill Baggs State Park — and the Miami River Brickell passage through the downtown urban waterway corridor. Discuss your route preference with our team when booking.
The 50' Cranchi is ideal for groups of 6 to 12 who prioritize deck space and outdoor living over interior cabin amenities — birthday and bachelorette charters where the multiple sun pads and large cockpit keep everyone comfortable, family day trips with children where the swim platform and VIP twin beds make overnight practical, and first-time charter guests wanting a vessel with Italian styling at an accessible price point. At $1,999 all-in for a 4-hour half-day charter, the Cranchi delivers a distinctive Italian-designed experience at the starting price point of the Miami Boat Charters private charter fleet.
