Charter the pardo 43ft in Miami from $2,500 for a 4-hour minimum charter — up to 13 guests, captain and crew included. This 43-foot yacht delivers a smooth, stylish ride across Biscayne Bay without the oversized price tag of a mega-yacht. Guests board at a designated marina like Miami Beach Marina or Bayside Marketplace, where GQ Concierge coordinates the exact slip upon booking.
You'll step aboard to find a spacious deck designed for socializing, with a cooler full of ice waiting for your drinks. The captain handles the navigation while you soak up the Miami skyline, and the crew ensures every glass stays full. Whether it's a spontaneous weekday escape or a planned celebration, this yacht turns any afternoon into an event.
Book instantly via WhatsApp or Telegram — GQ Concierge confirms availability within two hours, and same-day charters are often possible. This is Miami yacht chartering stripped of hassle and full of style.
This is the yacht that groups of 13 actually book — not just admire from the dock. The pardo 43ft hits a sweet spot in Miami's charter scene: big enough to host a real party, sleek enough to turn heads as it passes Star Island, and priced so you can justify a full day on the water.
Birthday groups love it because the open layout lets everyone mingle without feeling crowded. Corporate hosts book it to entertain clients on a sunset cruise past the Port of Miami, where the skyline does the impressing. Bachelorette parties take over the deck for a Key Biscayne sandbar day, anchoring in shallow water for swimming and snorkeling.
Families appreciate the stability and the crew's easy way with kids, while couples use it for milestone anniversaries with a private cruise through Government Cut. The 2 staterooms mean overnight trips are on the table too — a rare flexibility at this price point. With 13 guests max, everyone gets room to move, dance, and actually enjoy the view instead of squeezing shoulder-to-shoulder.
The pardo 43ft packs serious capability into a 43-foot hull, built for day charters and overnight adventures alike. Here are the exact specs GQ Concierge guarantees on every booking.
| Length | 43 ft |
| Guests (Cruising) | 13 |
| Staterooms | 2 |
| Flybridge | No |
| Jet Ski | No |
| Toys & Water Sports | Snorkeling gear, cooler with ice |
| Captain & Crew | Included in all charters |
The 43-foot length makes it nimble enough for close-in cruising around Sunset Harbour yet substantial enough for an open-water run to Key Biscayne. With 2 staterooms, this yacht offers overnight capability — a feature most day-charter boats in this class simply don't have. The snorkeling gear and ice-filled cooler come standard, so you're ready to drop anchor and jump in the moment the captain finds the right spot.
The pardo 43ft is available for charter starting at $2,500 for a 4-hour minimum charter — our most popular option.
| Charter Duration | Price | Per Hour | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Hours (Minimum) | $2,500 | $625/hr | Most popular — Sunset cruise, half-day, sandbar trip, birthday |
| 5 Hours | $2,800 | $560/hr | Extended half-day, small group celebration |
| 6 Hours | $3,100 | $517/hr | Full afternoon on the water, multiple stops |
| 7 Hours | $3,400 | $486/hr | Extended full day, longer offshore run |
| 8 Hours (Full Day) | $3,700 | $463/hr | Full day charter, corporate event |
Every charter includes a professional captain, crew, fuel, insurance, snorkeling gear, and a cooler stocked with ice. The 4-hour option is the most common choice for sunset cruises and half-day trips, while the 8-hour full-day tier suits corporate events or extended family outings.
Prices shown are the charter rate only — Florida sales tax (7%) and customary crew gratuity (15-20%) are added at checkout.
GQ Concierge is a full-service luxury company, not just a yacht rental desk. That means your charter can be wrapped in extras that turn a great day into an unforgettable one — all arranged through a single WhatsApp message.
Professional Photographer: We place a photographer on board to capture every moment, from the first champagne toast to the final approach back to the marina. You get a full gallery of high-resolution images within 48 hours — no selfies required.
Drone Videographer: Our drone operator captures aerial footage of the pardo 43ft gliding across Biscayne Bay, with the Miami skyline as your backdrop. The cinematic edit is perfect for social media or a corporate recap reel.
Private Chef & Catering: Choose from champagne and charcuterie spreads to a full gourmet meal prepared on board. Our chefs work with the crew to time service perfectly — whether you're anchored at the sandbar or cruising past Fisher Island.
VIP Transfer: Arrive at the marina in style with a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce. GQ picks you up from your hotel, Airbnb, or private residence anywhere in Miami.

Miami's waterways are the real show, and the pardo 43ft puts you in the middle of it. Here are the four most popular routes our captains run — each one tailored to what your group wants from the day.
1. Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise: Glide past the mansions of Star Island and Fisher Island while the captain points out celebrity homes and shares local lore. The Miami skyline rises behind you — a view that never gets old, whether it's your first charter or your fiftieth.
2. Key Biscayne Sandbar: Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne where the sandbar becomes Miami's most exclusive natural pool. Guests swim, snorkel with the provided gear, and wade through waist-deep water while the crew keeps the cooler stocked.
3. Miami Beach & Government Cut: Cruise along the South Beach coastline, then watch massive cruise ships navigate Government Cut as they depart the Port of Miami. It's a front-row seat to maritime drama that photographs beautifully.
4. Sunset Cruise from Bayside to Fisher Island: Depart Bayside Marketplace in the late afternoon, time your passage past the skyline for golden hour, and watch the city lights flicker on as you round Fisher Island. The 4-hour charter is perfectly sized for this route — you'll return to the marina as the Miami night begins.
With 13 guest capacity and 2 staterooms, the pardo 43ft adapts to nearly any celebration. Here's how our clients use it most often.
Birthdays: A 30th or 40th on the water beats any restaurant. Add the photographer and a custom cake for a complete package.
Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties: The deck layout supports dancing, the crew keeps drinks flowing, and the sandbar stop gives everyone a chance to cool off.
Corporate Events & Client Entertainment: Impress clients with a private cruise past the Port of Miami, complete with catering and a drone video recap for your company archive.
Anniversaries: Book the 4-hour sunset option and let the crew arrange a private dinner setup on the bow — the 2 staterooms even allow for an overnight stay.
Family Reunions: With room for 13, multiple generations can gather on one deck. The snorkeling gear keeps kids entertained while adults enjoy the ride.
Content Creation & Photoshoots: The yacht's clean lines and the Miami backdrop make it a floating studio. Bring your own crew or hire ours — the 4-hour minimum is usually enough for a full shoot.

Standard boarding locations include Miami Beach Marina, Bayside Marketplace, Island Gardens Deep Harbour, Coconut Grove Marina, and Sunset Harbour. Each offers convenient access, parking, and a smooth boarding experience.
