The Monterey 27ft is the sweet spot for groups who want a private, captain-driven day on Biscayne Bay without the oversized price tag. This is the boat we recommend when you want to celebrate a birthday with six close friends, host clients for a few hours of Miami sunshine, or treat your partner to a sunset cruise past Star Island. It's intimate enough to feel exclusive, yet roomy enough that nobody's squeezed — and with a licensed captain and crew included, all you do is show up and soak it in.
Groups book this yacht for bachelorette parties that start at Bayside and end with a swim at the Key Biscayne sandbar. Families love it for a relaxed afternoon exploring the calm waters off Coconut Grove, while corporate hosts use it to impress clients with a Miami skyline view that no conference room can match. The 27ft length keeps things nimble — you can pull into shallow sandbar spots that bigger yachts can't reach, and the 6-guest capacity means every conversation stays personal.
What makes this charter special in Miami is how easy it is. You board at a marina we coordinate, the crew handles navigation and the cooler comes stocked with ice, and you decide the pace — anchor for a swim, cruise past Fisher Island, or just drift and watch the city glow. For a day that's equal parts luxury and laid-back, the Monterey 27ft delivers exactly what Miami's water was made for.
This 27ft yacht is built for day charters on Miami's calm waters, with a focus on comfort and ease for up to 6 guests. The open layout keeps everyone connected to the water, and the included snorkeling gear means you're ready to jump in whenever the mood strikes.

Without a flybridge, the Monterey 27ft keeps its center of gravity low, which makes for a smooth, stable ride when you're cutting across Biscayne Bay. The 27ft length is ideal for exploring the sandbar at Key Biscayne or hugging the coastline past Sunset Harbour. It's a straightforward, no-fuss vessel that puts the focus on your group and the water — not on complicated features you'll never use.
The Monterey 27ft is available for charter starting at $1,100 for a 4-hour minimum charter — our most popular option.

GQ Concierge is a full-service luxury concierge, not just a yacht rental. That means we can turn a simple boat ride into a picture-perfect, fully produced Miami experience. Start with a professional photographer on board — they'll capture every moment from boarding at the marina to the golden-hour glow on Biscayne Bay, so you're actually in the photos instead of behind the camera.
Add a drone videographer for cinematic aerial footage of the yacht gliding past the Miami skyline, or the turquoise shallows at the Key Biscayne sandbar. For food, our private chef and catering team can set up everything from a champagne-and-charcuterie spread to a full gourmet meal served on the water — no plastic coolers or sad sandwiches. If you're staying at a hotel or Airbnb, arrange a VIP transfer to the marina in a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce, and arrive in style.
Need flowers, a birthday cake, or custom decorations? Just ask. We handle it all. Tell us your vision via WhatsApp and we'll handle every detail.
Miami is a city that reveals itself from the water, and the Monterey 27ft is the perfect vessel to explore it. Here are the four most popular routes our guests choose — each one a different flavor of Miami.
Glide past the mansions of Star Island and the celebrity homes lining the bay, with the Miami skyline rising behind you. Your captain will point out the landmarks while you sip something cold from the stocked cooler. This is the classic Miami tour — equal parts people-watching and skyline-gazing, with a breeze that makes everything feel like a movie.
Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne and step right into the sandbar. The Monterey 27ft's shallow draft lets you get closer than bigger yachts, so you can wade, swim, and snorkel in water that's almost bathwater-warm. On weekends, the sandbar turns into a floating party — bring your own playlist and join the fun.
Cruise along the South Beach coastline, past the art deco hotels and the iconic lifeguard towers, then head toward Government Cut to watch massive cruise ships depart the Port of Miami. The contrast between your sleek 27ft yacht and those floating cities is a reminder of why small-and-private beats big-and-crowded every time.
Set off from Bayside as the sun begins to dip, and cruise past Fisher Island and the downtown skyline as the lights start to flicker on. The 4-hour sunset charter is our most-booked option for a reason: the golden hour on Biscayne Bay is pure magic, and the Monterey 27ft gives you a front-row seat.
The Monterey 27ft is built for intimate gatherings where every guest matters. With a 6-person capacity, it's the perfect size for occasions that deserve a private, personalized touch.

Boarding takes place at a designated marina — we coordinate the exact location when you book. Our standard marinas are conveniently spread across Miami, so you're never far from the water.
Prefer a different spot? Boarding at another 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. We'll help you find the most convenient option for your plans.
