Galeon 55ft Specifications

Here are the confirmed specs for the Galeon 55ft — the numbers that matter when you're planning your day on the water. Every charter includes the captain, crew, and the essentials you'll need for a perfect outing.

What sets the Galeon 55ft apart on Miami waters is the combination of space and versatility. The flybridge offers an upper deck with seating and a helm — perfect for guests who want panoramic views while the captain navigates. With 3 staterooms, this yacht is also a rare find for overnight charters, letting you wake up anchored off Key Biscayne or Fisher Island. The included jet ski adds a thrill factor that most charters charge extra for.

Charter Packages & Pricing

The Galeon 55ft is available for charter starting at $2,800 for a 4-hour minimum charter — our most popular option. For those who want a full day on the water, we offer an 8-hour charter at a competitive rate.

Every charter includes a professional captain and crew, fuel, insurance, snorkeling gear, and a cooler stocked with ice. The 4-hour window is perfect for a sunset cruise from Bayside to Fisher Island, while the 8-hour option lets you explore the sandbar, stop for lunch at a waterfront spot, and still catch the skyline at dusk. Prices above are the charter rate only — Florida sales tax (7%) and customary crew gratuity (15-20%) are added at checkout, as is standard for all Miami yacht charters.

• VIP transfer to the marina: Arrive in a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce — we pick you up from your hotel or Airbnb and deliver you to the dock in style.

Miami Charter Routes & Destinations

When you charter the Galeon 55ft, the captain knows the waters like the back of his hand. Here are the four most popular routes our guests choose — each one a different flavor of Miami.

1. Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise

Glide past the mansions of Star Island and Fisher Island while the Miami skyline rises behind you. Your captain will point out celebrity homes and share stories of the bay's most famous residents. This is the classic Miami charter — equal parts sightseeing and status.

2. Key Biscayne Sandbar

Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne where the sandbar becomes a floating party on weekends. Swim, snorkel with the included gear, or take the jet ski for a spin. The water is calm, the sun is warm, and the vibe is pure Miami.

3. Miami Beach & Government Cut

Cruise along the South Beach coastline and through Government Cut, where you'll watch massive cruise ships depart the Port of Miami. The contrast between the sleek Galeon 55ft and the towering liners is a sight in itself. Keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the wake.

4. Sunset Cruise from Bayside to Fisher Island

Set off from Bayside Marketplace as the sun begins to dip, and cruise toward Fisher Island with the sky turning shades of pink and orange. The city lights start to flicker on, and the skyline becomes a glittering backdrop. It's the most romantic way to end a day in Miami.

Best Occasions for Galeon 55ft Charter

The Galeon 55ft's 12-guest capacity makes it ideal for a wide range of celebrations. Here's how we see it being used most often:

• Birthdays: A milestone birthday deserves more than a dinner reservation. Charter the Galeon, add a photographer, and let the crew toast to you as you cruise past Star Island.
• Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties: The flybridge becomes a dance floor, the jet ski adds adventure, and the sandbar is the ultimate party spot. We can arrange decorations, a DJ, or a private chef.
• Corporate Events & Client Entertainment: Impress clients with a day on the water that closes deals. The 8-hour charter gives you time for meetings on deck, lunch, and a relaxed return.
• Anniversaries: A sunset cruise for two (or with family) is unforgettable. Add flowers, champagne, and a drone video to capture the moment.
• Family Reunions: With 12 guests, three generations can spread out between the flybridge, the salon, and the bow. The jet ski keeps the kids entertained for hours.
• Content Creation & Photoshoots: The Galeon 55ft is a photogenic platform — clean lines, spacious decks, and that flybridge. Book a photographer and drone for a shoot that elevates your brand or social feed.
