Why Charter the Formula 48ft in Miami
This is the yacht for groups who want a real day on the water without sacrificing comfort. The Formula 48ft is a favorite among birthday parties celebrating on Biscayne Bay, corporate hosts entertaining clients with a sunset cruise past Star Island, and bachelorette crews looking to anchor off Key Biscayne and jump into the shallows. With 13 guests max, it's big enough to invite the whole group but intimate enough that nobody disappears into a crowd.

GQ Concierge Add-On Services
GQ Concierge is a full-service luxury company — we don't just hand you the keys and wave goodbye. Our add-ons are designed to turn a great day on the water into an unforgettable one, and each is handled by a vetted professional who knows Miami's waters and light.

You get high-resolution images within 48 hours — no awkward selfies, just candid shots of your group living their best life on Biscayne Bay.
Drone Videographer: For a cinematic perspective, our drone pilot captures aerial footage of the Formula 48ft cutting through the water, with the Miami skyline as your backdrop. This is the footage you'll post to Instagram and replay for years.
Private Chef & Catering: From a champagne and charcuterie spread to a full gourmet meal prepared on board, our catering partners handle it all. You tell us your tastes and dietary needs; we handle the rest.
VIP Transfer to the Marina: Arrive in style — GQ picks you up from your hotel or Airbnb in a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce. No ride-hailing stress, no parking headaches. You step out of the car and onto the yacht.

Miami Charter Routes & Destinations
Miami's waters are your playground, and the Formula 48ft is the perfect vessel to explore them. Here are the four routes our clients book most often — each one a distinct experience of the city from the water.
1. Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise: Glide past the mansions of Star Island and Fisher Island, where the city's elite live behind gates that open to the water. Your captain will slow down so you can admire the architecture and maybe spot a celebrity on their dock. The Miami skyline rises behind you — this is the classic Miami yacht experience.
2. Key Biscayne Sandbar: Anchor off Key Biscayne and step into waist-deep, crystal-clear water. This is the spot for swimming, snorkeling, and floating on the sandbar that appears at low tide. With snorkeling gear included, you can explore the seagrass beds and maybe spot a starfish or two.
3. Miami Beach & Government Cut: Watch massive cruise ships navigate Government Cut as you cruise along the South Beach coastline. The energy of Ocean Drive feels different from the water — you'll see the art deco hotels, the beach crowds, and the occasional dolphin pod.
4. Sunset Cruise — Bayside to Fisher Island: Depart from Bayside Marketplace as the sun begins its descent. Cruise past the Port of Miami and into Biscayne Bay, watching the sky turn orange and pink behind the skyline. As you round Fisher Island, the lights of Miami Beach flicker on — pure magic.
Best Occasions for Formula 48ft Charter
With room for 13 guests and a captain who knows the waters, the Formula 48ft suits a wide range of celebrations. Here's how our clients use it most often:
- Birthdays: A 13-guest limit is perfect for an intimate birthday celebration — close friends, champagne, and a sunset cruise past Star Island. Add a photographer to capture the moment.
- Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties: The final blowout before the big day. Anchor at the Key Biscayne sandbar, swim, dance on the deck, and let the crew handle the details.
- Corporate Events & Client Entertainment: Impress clients with a day on the water that's more memorable than any dinner. The Formula 48ft provides a private setting for conversations that matter, with the Miami skyline as your boardroom view.
- Anniversaries: A romantic sunset cruise for two — or with a few close friends — is a milestone-worthy celebration. The two staterooms below deck offer a quiet retreat.
- Family Reunions: Bring the whole crew — up to 13 of you — and let the kids swim off the Key Biscayne sandbar while the adults relax on deck. Snorkeling gear included keeps everyone entertained.
- Content Creation & Photoshoots: The Formula 48ft's clean lines and open deck make it a photographer's dream. Add our drone videographer for aerial shots that elevate any brand or personal project.

Marina Pickup Locations
Boarding takes place at a designated marina — we coordinate the exact location when you book. Our standard marinas are spread across Miami's best waterfront neighborhoods, so you're never far from the action.
- Miami Beach Marina — right off South Beach, easy access from Collins Avenue.
- Bayside Marketplace — downtown Miami, steps from the shops and restaurants.
- Island Gardens Deep Harbour — premium location near Fisher Island.
- Coconut Grove Marina — charming, tree-lined setting with a relaxed vibe.
- Sunset Harbour — up-and-coming area with great dining nearby.
Boarding at a different location is possible if it has suitable dockage access — the transit time to reach it is billed as charter time and must be arranged with GQ in advance. This is a great option if you're staying at a waterfront hotel or want to start your charter from a private residence with a dock.
