Charter the Sea Ray 52ft in Miami from $1,900 for a 4-hour minimum charter — up to 13 guests, captain and crew included. This 52-foot cruiser delivers a smooth, stylish day on Biscayne Bay, whether you're anchoring at the Key Biscayne sandbar or gliding past Star Island. Board at a designated marina we coordinate at booking, and add a photographer, chef, or VIP transfer through GQ Concierge. Reserve same-day via WhatsApp or Telegram.
This yacht is the go-to for groups who want space, comfort, and zero hassle. Birthdays on Biscayne Bay become unforgettable when you've got 13 friends on deck, a cooler stocked with ice, and the Miami skyline as your backdrop. Corporate hosts love it for client entertainment — the open layout makes it easy to mingle, while the crew handles every detail.
Bachelorette parties book it for the perfect mix of sun, music, and photo-worthy moments past Fisher Island. Families choose it for a relaxed day at the Key Biscayne sandbar, where the water is calm and the snorkeling gear is already on board. Sunset cruises from Bayside to Government Cut turn golden hour into a private show, with the skyline lighting up as you cruise back.
What sets the Sea Ray 52ft apart is how effortless it feels. No boating license needed, no logistics to manage — you show up, step aboard, and the crew takes it from there. It's the kind of day that makes guests ask, "Can we do this again next weekend?"
Here's exactly what you're getting with the Sea Ray 52ft — every spec we track, from guest capacity to what's included on board.
| Length | 52 ft |
| Guests (Cruising) | 13 |
| Flybridge | No |
| Jet Ski | No |
| Toys & Water Sports | Snorkeling gear, cooler with ice |
| Captain & Crew | Included in all charters |
At 52 feet with room for 13 guests, this yacht gives you generous deck space for lounging, dining, and dancing without feeling crowded. The absence of a flybridge keeps the center of gravity low, which means a steadier ride when you're cruising at speed or anchored in the bay. It's a practical, comfortable choice for day charters where the focus is on the water, the people, and the views.
The Sea Ray 52ft is available for charter starting at $1,900 for a 4-hour minimum charter — our most popular option.
| Charter Duration | Price | Per Hour | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Hours (Minimum) | $1,900 | $475/hr | Most popular — Sunset cruise, half-day, sandbar trip, birthday |
| 5 Hours | $2,200 | $440/hr | Extended half-day, small group celebration |
| 6 Hours | $2,700 | $450/hr | Full afternoon on the water, multiple stops |
Every charter includes your captain and crew, fuel, insurance, snorkeling gear, and a cooler with ice — so the only thing you need to bring is your playlist and your sunglasses. The 4-hour option is the sweet spot for most groups, giving you time to cruise, anchor, swim, and still catch the sunset. For longer days with multiple stops, the 5 and 6-hour packages stretch your time on the water without any extra planning.
Prices above are the charter rate only. Florida sales tax (7%) and customary crew gratuity (15-20%) are added at checkout — standard for the industry, and we want you to know exactly where your money goes. That's how we keep things transparent, so there are no surprises when you settle the balance.
GQ Concierge is a full-service luxury concierge, not just a boat rental. That means we can turn your charter into a completely custom experience, down to the last detail. Here's what we can arrange:
Professional Photographer on Board — Capture every laugh, every splash, and every golden-hour moment as it happens. Our photographers know the best angles on the boat and the best light on Biscayne Bay, so you walk away with gallery-worthy shots — no selfies required.
Drone Videographer — See your yacht from above with cinematic aerial footage. The drone captures the Sea Ray 52ft slicing through the water, the Miami skyline rising behind you, and your group living your best life — a highlight reel you'll replay for years.
Private Chef & Catering — From a champagne-and-charcuterie spread to a full gourmet meal served on deck, our catering partners handle it all. Just tell us your preferences and any dietary restrictions, and the chef takes care of the rest.
VIP Transfer to the Marina — Arrive in style with a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce. We'll pick you up from your hotel or Airbnb and have you at the marina with zero stress.
Custom Touches — Flower arrangements, birthday setups, custom decorations — whatever you envision, we can make it happen. Tell us your vision via WhatsApp and we'll handle every detail.
The Sea Ray 52ft opens up a whole world of Miami water experiences. Here are the four routes our guests love most:
1. Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise — Cruise past the mansions of Star Island and Fisher Island while the Miami skyline towers in the background. Your captain will point out celebrity homes and share local stories as you glide through the calm bay. It's the classic Miami experience, and it never gets old.
2. Key Biscayne Sandbar — Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne and step right into the sandbar. The water is warm and inviting, and with snorkeling gear on board, you can explore the underwater world. It's a favorite for families and groups who want to swim, float, and soak up the sun.
3. Miami Beach & Government Cut — Head out through Government Cut, where you'll watch massive cruise ships depart the Port of Miami. The South Beach coastline stretches out beside you, all white sand and art-deco buildings. It's a lively route with plenty to see and a nice breeze to keep you cool.
4. Sunset Cruise from Bayside to Fisher Island — Set off from Bayside Marketplace as the sun starts to dip. Cruise past the downtown skyline, which lights up in a blaze of orange and pink, then round Fisher Island as the city lights begin to twinkle. This is the most romantic way to end a day in Miami.
