What is the 40 Sea Ray Miami charter?
The 40 Sea Ray is a 40-foot sport yacht on Biscayne Bay. One private booking covers up to 12 guests from $999 for the yacht — not per person. A USCG-licensed captain, fuel, ice, forward sunpad, stern swim platform, and climate-controlled salon are included. Marina details arrive by email after you book.
This is the fleet’s sport-entry yacht: a lower profile, a lower rate, and a layout built for bay time and swim stops. When midday heat builds on the forward sunpad, the group steps below into the air-conditioned salon without ending the charter.
One booking covers the private yacht for your whole group. Choose your charter length when you reserve; the total appears before you pay.

The Charter Experience
What does a 40 Sea Ray charter actually feel like?
Your confirmation email includes marina meet-up time and captain contact after you book. You board as the only group on the yacht. Your charter begins on Biscayne Bay; Government Cut and Star Island enter the route when wind, traffic, and USCG zones allow. Guests move between the bow sunpad, the cockpit, and the salon for the hours they booked.
Captains Andre and Franck command these sport-yacht departures. They adjust the hours you booked for light, chop, and what your group actually wants to see. Bring food and drinks in soft-sided coolers. Ice is already on board. Glass stays on shore.
