Charter the VanDutch 40ft in Miami from $1,600 for a 4-hour minimum charter — up to 10 guests, captain and crew included. This sleek 40-foot day boat turns heads as it glides past Fisher Island, and GQ Concierge handles every detail from booking to boarding. Same-day availability via WhatsApp or Telegram. Board at a designated marina we coordinate when you book.
This is the yacht for guests who want style without the stuffiness. The VanDutch 40ft is a favorite for birthday celebrations on Biscayne Bay, where the skyline glitters behind you and the champagne flows freely. Corporate clients love it for entertaining — a 4-hour cruise past Star Island impresses far more than a boardroom lunch ever could. Bachelorette parties book it for the open-air layout that keeps everyone together, dancing to a portable speaker while the captain finds the calmest water.
Families choose it for a day at the Key Biscayne sandbar, where the crew drops anchor and the snorkeling gear comes out. Sunset cruises from Bayside to Government Cut deliver golden-hour views that make every guest reach for their phone. At 40 feet with room for 10, it's intimate enough to feel private but spacious enough to move around freely. GQ Concierge has chartered this boat for proposals, milestone birthdays, and spontaneous mid-week escapes — it never fails to deliver that unmistakable Miami moment.

The VanDutch 40ft is available for charter starting at $1,600 for a 4-hour minimum charter — our most popular option.
| Charter Duration | Price | Per Hour | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Hours (Minimum) | $1,600 | $400/hr | Most popular — Sunset cruise, half-day, sandbar trip, birthday |

Every charter includes a professional captain and crew, fuel, insurance, snorkeling gear, and a cooler stocked with ice. You bring the drinks and snacks — or let our catering team handle it. The prices above are the charter rate only. Florida sales tax (7%) and customary crew gratuity (15-20%) are added at checkout, so you know exactly where your money goes.
GQ Concierge is a full-service luxury concierge, not just a yacht rental. That means your charter can be elevated with a range of add-ons designed to make the day unforgettable. A professional photographer on board captures every moment — from the group's excitement at boarding to that golden-hour shot as you cruise past the Miami skyline. A drone videographer adds cinematic aerial footage of the yacht slicing through Biscayne Bay, perfect for social media or a lasting memory.
For food and drink, our private chef and catering team can set up anything from champagne and charcuterie to a full gourmet meal served on deck. VIP transfer to the marina is another favorite — arrive in a Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Sprinter, or Rolls-Royce, picked up from your hotel or Airbnb. We also handle flower arrangements, birthday setups, and custom decorations on request. Tell us your vision via WhatsApp and we'll handle every detail.
Where will the VanDutch 40ft take you? Here are the four most popular routes our guests choose.
Biscayne Bay & Star Island — Cruise past the mansions of Star Island and Fisher Island while the Miami skyline rises behind you. Your captain will slow down so you can take in the architecture and imagine living there. This is the classic Miami experience, and it never gets old.
Key Biscayne Sandbar — Anchor in the shallow, crystal-clear water off Key Biscayne. Jump in for a swim, use the snorkeling gear to explore, and float in the warm bay. It's a relaxed, playful stop that contrasts perfectly with the city's energy.
Miami Beach & Government Cut — Watch massive cruise ships depart through Government Cut as you cruise along the South Beach coastline. The views of the Art Deco hotels and the Atlantic Ocean are postcard-perfect. This route is a favorite for first-timers who want to see it all.
Sunset Cruise — Depart from Bayside and head toward Fisher Island as the sun dips below the horizon. The sky turns orange and pink, the city lights flicker on, and the water turns to gold. It's the most romantic way to end a day in Miami.
With space for 10 guests, the VanDutch 40ft is ideal for a range of celebrations. Birthdays become legendary when you're cruising Biscayne Bay with your closest friends — add a photographer and custom cake for the full effect. Bachelorette and bachelor parties love the open deck, perfect for dancing and sipping champagne as you glide past Star Island.
Corporate clients will remember a meeting on the water far longer than one in a conference room — use the 8-hour full-day charter for a client appreciation event or team-building day. Anniversaries get a romantic upgrade with a sunset cruise and a private chef. Family reunions enjoy the relaxed pace of a sandbar stop, where kids can swim while adults relax. And for content creators, the VanDutch's clean lines and Miami backdrop make it a dream photoshoot location — pair it with our drone videographer for stunning aerial shots.

Boarding takes place at a designated marina — we coordinate the exact location when you book. Our standard marinas include Miami Beach Marina, Bayside Marketplace, Island Gardens Deep Harbour, Coconut Grove Marina, and Sunset Harbour. Each offers convenient access to the bay and easy parking or rideshare drop-off.
If you prefer a different starting point, that's possible too — as long as it has suitable dockage access. We'll arrange it in advance, and the transit time to reach that location is billed as charter time. This gives you flexibility to start your journey wherever works best for your group.
