For same-day availability, message us on WhatsApp or Telegram and we'll confirm within hours.

Why Charter the Ferretti 97ft in Miami

The Ferretti 97ft is the yacht that turns a regular Miami afternoon into a headline story. With room for 12 guests, it's the sweet spot for a birthday celebration that starts at Bayside and ends with the skyline lit up behind you off Star Island. You're not just renting a boat — you're buying the kind of day people post about for weeks.

Corporate clients love this one for client entertainment, because it seats a full executive team plus partners without feeling crowded. Bachelorette parties book it for the flybridge — a dedicated upper deck with seating and a helm that gives the whole group a panoramic view of Biscayne Bay. Families choose it for the Key Biscayne sandbar, where the included jet ski turns a simple anchor stop into a full day of water sports.

Sunset cruises past Fisher Island are the most requested route, and for good reason. The 97ft hull cuts through Government Cut smoothly, and the open decks let everyone feel the breeze as the sun drops behind the Miami skyline. Whether it's a milestone birthday or a high-stakes client dinner on the water, this yacht handles it with the kind of effortless style that makes you look like you do this every weekend.

Ferretti 97ft Specifications

Here are the exact specs for the Ferretti 97ft as configured for charter in Miami. These are the numbers that matter when you're planning your day on the water.

What makes the Ferretti 97ft stand out on Miami waters is the combination of serious length and a dedicated flybridge. At 97 feet, it commands presence next to the mansions on Star Island, while the upper deck gives you a vantage point that smaller yachts simply can't match.

The five staterooms mean this yacht is also a genuine option for overnight trips, which is rare for a charter of this size in Miami. The included jet ski is the other headline feature — it's not an upsell, it's part of the deal, ready for you to ride out to the sandbar or carve around Biscayne Bay.

Charter Packages & Pricing

The Ferretti 97ft is available for charter starting at $7,000 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 jet ski is also included in the charter rate, so you can hit the water the moment you anchor at Key Biscayne.

The prices above are the charter rate only. Florida sales tax (7%) and customary crew gratuity (15-20%) are added at checkout — that's standard practice across Miami yacht charters, and we want you to know exactly where your money goes before you book.

GQ Concierge Add-On Services

This is where GQ Concierge separates itself from a simple boat rental. We're a full-service luxury concierge company, so the yacht is just the starting point — everything around it is handled by us.

Bring a professional photographer on board to capture the moment you step onto the deck through the sunset toast off Fisher Island. These aren't phone snaps — they're editorial-quality shots that make your Instagram look like a magazine spread. Pair that with a drone videographer for aerial footage of the 97ft cutting through Biscayne Bay, with the Miami skyline as your backdrop.

For food and drink, our private chef and catering service ranges from champagne and artisanal charcuterie boards to a full gourmet multi-course meal served on the flybridge. You tell us the vibe — casual beach picnic or white-tablecloth elegance — and we handle the rest.

Arrive in style with a VIP transfer to the marina. We'll pick you up from your hotel or Airbnb in a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce, so the luxury starts the moment you leave your room. Need flowers, a birthday cake, or custom decorations? We arrange all of it. Tell us your vision via WhatsApp and we'll handle every detail.

Miami Charter Routes & Destinations

Where you go on the Ferretti 97ft defines your day, and Miami offers some of the most iconic water routes in the world. Here are the four most popular experiences our clients book.

Biscayne Bay & Star Island Cruise: This is the classic Miami yacht route. You'll glide past the celebrity mansions on Star Island and Fisher Island while the downtown skyline rises behind you. The 97ft gives you the perfect vantage point to take it all in — either from the flybridge or the main deck.

Key Biscayne Sandbar: Anchor up in the crystal-clear shallows and make the included jet ski work for its keep. Swim, snorkel, and float in the warm water while the crew sets up your drinks on board. It's the closest thing Miami has to a private island day.

Miami Beach & Government Cut: Cruise along the South Beach coastline and watch massive cruise ships navigate Government Cut as they head out to sea. The contrast between the 97ft and those giants of the ocean is a sight in itself, and the beach views are unmatched.

Sunset Cruise — Bayside to Fisher Island: Depart from Bayside and time your cruise to catch the golden hour as you pass Sunset Harbour and round the tip of Fisher Island. The sky turns orange and pink over the skyline, and the city lights start to flicker on. It's the most requested route for a reason — it's pure magic.

Best Occasions for Ferretti 97ft Charter

The Ferretti 97ft is built for celebration, and its 12-guest capacity makes it ideal for a wide range of events. Here's how our clients use it.

Birthdays: A milestone birthday deserves more than a dinner reservation. Charter the yacht, add a photographer and a custom cake, and cruise Biscayne Bay with your closest friends. The flybridge fits everyone comfortably with room to dance.

Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties: The final blowout before the big day. The jet ski, the sandbar, the skyline — it's a party that starts on the water and doesn't stop. Our concierge team can arrange decorations, catering, and a photographer to document the chaos.

Corporate Events & Client Entertainment: Impress clients or reward your team with a day that no boardroom can match. The 97ft provides a professional setting for networking, but relaxed enough to build real relationships. We handle the catering, so you focus on the conversation.

Anniversaries: A private sunset cruise for two (or a few close friends) is the ultimate romantic gesture. The crew can arrange champagne on arrival and a quiet spot on the bow for the two of you as the sun sets over the city.

Family Reunions: With 12 guests, you can get the whole immediate family on board. The kids will love the jet ski and snorkeling, while the adults relax on the flybridge. It's a memory that lasts longer than any group dinner.

Content Creation & Photoshoots: The 97ft is a stunning backdrop for fashion shoots, music videos, or influencer content. With our drone videographer and photographer add-ons, you get a full production crew on the water.

Marina Pickup Locations

Boarding takes place at a designated marina — we coordinate the exact location when you book. Our standard boarding points are spread across Miami, so you can choose the one that's most convenient for you.

Our standard marinas include Miami Beach Marina, Bayside Marketplace, Island Gardens Deep Harbour, Coconut Grove Marina, and Sunset Harbour. Each offers a different starting point for your cruise, whether you want to head straight to the sandbar or cruise up the coast.

Boarding at a different location is possible if it has suitable dockage access for a 97ft yacht. The transit time to reach that location is billed as charter time and must be arranged with GQ Concierge in advance. This gives you flexibility to start your journey from wherever makes the most sense for your group.

Compare Similar Yachts

Choosing the right yacht is about more than just the entry price. The table below compares both the starting rate and the hourly rate, since yachts with different minimum charter lengths aren't fairly compared by entry price alone.

The Ferretti 97ft Is Not Right For You If:

• You're watching the budget: If the hourly rate is a key factor, the Sanlorenzo 94ft comes in at $1,475/hr — $275/hr less than the Ferretti 97ft — while still fitting up to 13 guests. It's the smarter pick for a great day on the water at a lower cost.
• You need to host a large group: The Ferretti 97ft is capped at 12 guests. If you're planning an event for 50 or 100 people, the Skipperliner 100ft accommodates up to 140 guests, making it the only option here for a true large-scale party.
• You want the biggest boat on the water: At 97ft, the Ferretti is impressive, but the Skipperliner 100ft gives you three more feet of length. If sheer size matters for your event's impact, that extra length makes a difference.
