{"key":"galeon-45","blocks":[{"section":"intro","body":"Galeon is Poland's answer to the Italian yards and the 45 is the clearest statement of that build philosophy at an accessible size. Sharp hull cuts, a shaded aft cockpit instead of full sun exposure, and three staterooms below where most boats this length give you two. It is the charter for a group that wants the day on the water without the flagship price, and the shade is the detail guests thank you for by two in the afternoon."},{"section":"setting","heading":"On the Bay","body":"Departures are from a Miami marina berth into the Biscayne Bay circuit: Star Island cruise-by at about fifteen minutes, Key Biscayne at twenty, Stiltsville and Nixon Beach at twenty-five, and Haulover Sandbar at thirty. The 45 draws less than the sixty-foot-plus fleet, so it slips into shallower coves that the bigger boats have to anchor outside of."},{"section":"outdoors","heading":"On Deck","body":"The shaded aft cockpit lounge is the social centre of the boat and it is a genuine hard shade rather than a bimini stretched over a seat, which in Miami is the difference between staying out and going in. The bow sun pad covers the guests who came for the sun. Swim access is from the stern at anchor.","bullets":["Shaded aft cockpit lounge, hard cover rather than a bimini","Bow sun pad","Stern swim access at anchor","Cooler stocked with ice and water"]},{"section":"interiors","heading":"Below Deck","body":"Three staterooms and two heads below, fully air conditioned. Three cabins at 45 feet is the specification that makes this hull unusual, and on a day charter it means a group of ten has somewhere to change, cool down and store bags rather than living entirely on deck.","bullets":["Three staterooms, two heads","Full air conditioning in the cabin","Bluetooth sound system throughout","Space to change and stow bags"]},{"section":"activities","heading":"The Day","body":"Sandbar runs, swim stops and sunset cruises are the standard shapes. Snorkel gear is available on request. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks aboard, which keeps a day charter genuinely affordable rather than pushing the cost into a catering line."},{"section":"staff-service","heading":"Captain and Crew","body":"Captain and crew are included, and fuel is included at standard cruising speed, so the quoted rate covers the two things that most often appear as extras elsewhere. The base price covers up to ten guests, which is a hard cap rather than a guideline. Gratuity of fifteen percent is customary and is not included."},{"section":"ideal-for","heading":"Best For","body":null,"bullets":["Day charters where shade matters more than sun","Small groups of up to ten","Sunset cruises and sandbar anchoring","First-time charterers testing the format"]}]}
