The 55′ Prestige is a French-built flybridge motor yacht from Prestige Yachts — a brand within the Bénéteau Group of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, France, the world’s largest recreational boat manufacturing group. The 55 Prestige is the only French-built vessel in the Miami Boat Charters private fleet, and the French design philosophy shows in two specific features that distinguish it from the Italian and British flybridge vessels in the same size range: sliding aft doors that remove the boundary between the interior salon and the exterior aft deck when open, creating a genuine indoor-outdoor flow at anchor, and convertible cabin configurations in both the second and third staterooms — giving overnight guests the choice between double bed or two-single arrangements depending on the group composition. At 55 feet with 581 gallons of fuel and a flybridge, the Prestige is Bahamas-capable and suitable for day charters, multi-night term charters, and the Nixon’s Sandbar route. The vessel accommodates 12 guests during the day and 6 overnight across 3 staterooms. Learn more about this charter below or check out our other Miami Luxury Yacht Rentals.
Yacht Overview
The 55′ Prestige accommodates 12 guests during the day and 6 guests overnight across 3 private staterooms. The Master Suite features a queen size bed with a large ensuite head and shower. The second stateroom — the spacious guest cabin — has a double bed that can be converted to two separate single beds when required, allowing the same space to accommodate either a couple or two individual guests. The third cabin provides two single beds that can similarly be converted to a double configuration when a couple is assigned that cabin. This convertible cabin arrangement is not found on any other vessel in the Miami Boat Charters fleet at this size — most vessels are fixed in their bed configurations, while the Prestige adapts based on your group composition before departure. The main salon reflects the Bénéteau Group’s contemporary design philosophy: light, open, and visually connected to the exterior through large windows and the signature sliding aft doors that open fully to merge the interior living space with the aft deck at anchor. The full galley is fitted with stove, oven, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and coffee maker with generous counter space for provisioned overnight passages. The state-of-the-art entertainment system is operational throughout the vessel including on the flybridge. On deck, the flybridge provides elevated 360-degree open-air views with seating for the full group during the Biscayne Bay route and at the Nixon’s Sandbar anchor stop.
Why Charter the 55′ Prestige in Miami?
The 55 Prestige is built by Prestige Yachts, a brand within the Bénéteau Group — the world’s largest recreational boat manufacturer, headquartered in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie on the Atlantic coast of France. The French design heritage of the Prestige line produces a specific kind of interior character: contemporary, light-filled, and functionally innovative in a way that reflects decades of Bénéteau Group research into how people actually live aboard vessels for extended periods. The sliding aft doors are the most discussed feature among guests who have chartered the 55 Prestige previously — when the doors open fully at the Nixon’s Sandbar anchor stop, the salon, aft deck, and flybridge become a continuous open-air environment rather than separate enclosed and exterior zones. The convertible cabin configurations add practical value for groups with mixed sleeping preferences: couples in one cabin, singles in another, or children in separate beds across the same voyage. Day charters include a USCG-licensed captain, professional crew, fuel for local Miami cruising, water, sodas, and ice — all-in from $2,999 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 standard 55 Prestige day charter route covers Government Cut for cruise ship views from the flybridge, the Star Island, Palm Island, and Hibiscus Island celebrity home cruise narrated by your captain, and a Nixon’s Sandbar anchor stop in Key Biscayne where the sliding aft doors open fully and the full group spreads across the merged indoor-outdoor living space while swimming in 2 to 4 feet of clear, flat bay water. As the afternoon closes, the route continues north for the downtown Miami skyline sunset return with the flybridge open. With 581 gallons of fuel, the 55 Prestige is Bahamas-capable — Bimini in under 3 hours (50 nautical miles) and Nassau in a comfortable full-day passage (119 nautical miles). Multi-day term charters to Bimini, Nassau, and the Florida Keys are available for 6 overnight guests, with the convertible cabin configurations adjusted to your group’s specific sleeping arrangements before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions — 55′ Prestige Charter Miami
Everything you need to know before booking the 55′ Prestige flybridge yacht in Miami.
The 55' Prestige accommodates 12 guests for day charters and 6 guests overnight across 3 staterooms — Master Suite (queen bed, ensuite head with shower), Guest Cabin (double bed or 2 singles, convertible), and Third Cabin (2 singles or double, convertible). The convertible second and third cabin configurations allow the sleeping arrangement to be set before departure based on your group composition — couples, singles, or children across the same vessel and the same 3 staterooms.
The 55' Prestige starts at $2,999 for a 4-hour half-day charter and $4,999 for an 8-hour full-day charter. All pricing is all-in — USCG-licensed captain, crew, fuel for local Miami cruising, 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.
The 55 Prestige's second stateroom (guest cabin) has a double bed that converts to two separate single beds, and the third cabin has two single beds that convert to a double. Before departure, our crew configures both cabins to match your group's overnight sleeping preferences. This flexibility is not available on other vessels in the Miami Boat Charters fleet at this size — the 55 Prestige is the only vessel where the same second and third staterooms can serve either couples or individuals depending on who is aboard.
Yes — the 55' Prestige's 581-gallon fuel capacity provides full offshore range for Bahamas passages. Bimini is 50 nautical miles from Miami Beach Marina (under 3 hours at cruise speed). Nassau is 119 nautical miles — a comfortable full-day passage. Multi-day term charters to Bimini, Nassau, and the Florida Keys are available for 6 overnight guests. The convertible cabin configurations are particularly valuable on term charters where overnight guests may have different sleeping preferences across a multi-night voyage.
Yes — all charters on the 55' Prestige are fully crewed. A USCG-licensed captain handles all navigation, route planning, and offshore passage management for the full charter duration. A professional crew member manages flybridge service, sliding door operations at anchor, 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.
The 55' Prestige is ideal for groups where both flybridge outdoor views and cabin flexibility matter — mixed groups combining couples and individuals overnight where the convertible cabin configurations solve the sleeping arrangement without compromise, anniversary and birthday charters for 10 to 12 day guests who want a French-designed flybridge vessel at a mid-range price point, Bahamas term charters for 4 to 6 overnight guests where the 581-gallon range covers Bimini and Nassau and the sliding aft doors make each anchorage feel like an open-air living environment, and guests specifically interested in the Bénéteau Group's design approach who want a French-built flybridge motor yacht rather than the Italian and British alternatives at similar pricing.
