Book same-day via WhatsApp or Telegram.

Why Charter the Marquis 43ft in Miami

The Marquis 43ft is the yacht that groups of 12 actually book — not just admire from the dock. It's the sweet spot for a birthday celebration on Biscayne Bay, where the Miami skyline rises behind you and the water is glassy enough to see the sandbar below. Corporate clients love it for client entertainment: you can host a full team of a dozen without splitting into two boats, and the 2 staterooms give you a private space to retreat if someone needs to take a call or just get out of the sun.

Bachelorette parties are a constant on this boat — the open aft deck fits a DJ setup and a champagne tower, and the crew knows every Instagram-worthy angle past Star Island. For families, a Key Biscayne sandbar day is effortless: anchor in waist-deep water, break out the snorkeling gear, and let the kids splash while you float on a paddleboard. Sunset cruises past Fisher Island and Government Cut are the classic evening play — the sky turns orange and pink, the city lights flicker on, and you'll understand why this is one of our most-booked yachts for exactly that hour.

What sets the Marquis apart is its flexibility. With 12 guests and 2 staterooms, it bridges the gap between a bare-bones day boat and a full crewed charter — you get real sleeping quarters (rare at this price point) without paying for a mega-yacht. It's the boat you book when you want the experience to feel effortless: captain handles the navigation, crew handles the drinks, and you just show up with your people.

Marquis 43ft Specifications

Here's exactly what you're getting with the Marquis 43ft — no surprises, just the specs that matter for your day on the water.

At 43 feet with capacity for 12 guests, this yacht delivers serious space without the complexity of a larger vessel. The 2 staterooms set it apart from most day-charter boats in this class — you can actually stretch out below deck between swims. It's a straightforward, no-flybridge design that keeps the focus on the water, the company, and the view.

Charter Packages & Pricing

The Marquis 43ft is available for charter starting at $1,600 for a 4-hour minimum charter — our most popular option.

Every charter includes a professional captain and crew, fuel, insurance, snorkeling gear, and a cooler stocked with ice. The 8-hour option gives you a full day to explore multiple spots — start at the sandbar, cruise past Star Island, and end with a sunset off South Beach.

Prices above are the charter rate only. Florida sales tax (7%) and customary crew gratuity (15-20%) are added at checkout. This is standard practice across all Miami yacht charters — you'll see the exact breakdown before you confirm.

Miami Charter Routes & Destinations

Here are the four most popular ways to spend your time on the Marquis 43ft, each with its own flavor.

1. Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise — This is the classic Miami yacht experience. Glide past the mansions of Star Island, where you'll spot celebrity homes and mega-yachts docked in private slips. The skyline of downtown Miami rises directly ahead, and your captain will point out the landmarks while you sip something cold. It's a 2-hour loop that packs in more iconic sights per minute than any other route.

2. Key Biscayne Sandbar — Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne, where the sandbar becomes a floating party on weekends. The crew will set up the snorkeling gear and the cooler; you just jump in. Water is waist-deep for hundreds of yards, making it perfect for groups who want to mingle with other boats or just float in peace.

3. Miami Beach & Government Cut — Cruise along the South Beach coastline, then head out to Government Cut to watch massive cruise ships depart the Port of Miami. The contrast between your 43ft private yacht and those floating cities is a fun perspective. You'll also get a great view of the Art Deco hotels lining Ocean Drive.

4. Sunset Cruise: Bayside to Fisher Island — Leave from Bayside Marketplace and head south as the sun begins to dip. Pass Fisher Island's exclusive residences, then turn back to watch the Miami skyline light up. This is the golden hour money shot — bring your phone or hire the drone videographer.

The Marquis 43ft Is Not Right For You If:

• You're on a tight budget and don't need the extra space — the Sport 40ft comes in at $375/hr, $25/hr less, and still fits 10 guests.
• You need to accommodate more than 12 guests — the Marquis is capped at 12, so you'd need to split into two boats or consider a larger vessel.
• You're looking for a more exclusive, premium experience with a higher per-hour spend — the Fountaine Pajot 43ft at $650/hr offers a different vibe, though it fits fewer guests (8).
