60 Azimut

A 60-foot Italian Azimut departing Miami Beach Marina on the shortest charter minimum in the fleet, two hours.

Location: Miami Beach, United States

3 bedrooms, sleeps 13.

Price: From $1,400 USD per charter

A 60-foot Azimut out of Miami Beach Marina, the only hull in the fleet that charters on a two-hour minimum. Every other boat of this size here starts at four, which makes her the one practical option for a sunset run when the group does not want to commit a whole afternoon. Packages go two, four or five hours. She is Italian built, with a flybridge above the main deck for seating and views, three staterooms and three bathrooms below under full air conditioning, and a Bluetooth sound system through the boat. A floating mat comes as standard rather than on request, and ice and water are stocked. Captain, crew and fuel are included. Departing Miami Beach rather than downtown puts South Beach and Mid-Beach hotels minutes from the dock, with Haulover Sandbar, Star Island and Stiltsville on the route card. | Location: Miami Beach, United States | Bedrooms: 3 | Guests: 13 | Price: From $1,400 USD per charter | Top Amenities: Flybridge with seating, Three staterooms below, Three bathrooms | Best For: Short sunset cruises, First-time charterers, Groups on a tight schedule

The 60 Azimut is the flexible hull in the Miami fleet, and the flexibility is structural rather than marketing. Almost every yacht of this size here sells a four-hour minimum. This one books at two, which changes what is possible: a sunset run that does not eat the afternoon, a short sandbar anchor, a two-hour birthday on the water instead of a half-day commitment. Four and five-hour packages are there when you want the longer day. Italian built, with a flybridge above for the views and three staterooms and three bathrooms below for shade and changing.

Miami Beach, Not Downtown

Her berth is Miami Beach Marina rather than the downtown basin, and for anyone staying on the beach that is the single most useful fact about her. South Beach hotels are about eight minutes away by road rather than a cross-causeway run, which on a two-hour charter is a meaningful share of the booking. Working out of the beach side, Haulover Sandbar comes up in roughly twenty minutes by boat, a Star Island pass in about twelve, and Stiltsville nearer thirty. Miami International Airport sits about twenty-five minutes by road. Departure times are flexible subject to availability. Departs Miami Beach Marina, not downtown. South Beach hotels about 8 minutes by road. Haulover Sandbar about 20 minutes by boat. Star Island cruise-by about 12 minutes. Stiltsville about 30 minutes. Miami International Airport about 25 minutes by road. Flexible departure times subject to availability

Three Staterooms Below

There are three staterooms down below and three bathrooms to match them, with air conditioning throughout. On a two-hour sunset charter most of that goes unused, but on the four and five-hour packages it earns its place: somewhere cool to sit out of the afternoon, somewhere to change after a swim, and enough bathrooms that thirteen guests are not queuing. Italian Azimut joinery runs through the interior and a Bluetooth sound system plays across the boat. It is the same below-deck arrangement you would find on a larger hull, at the shortest commitment in the fleet. Three staterooms below. Three bathrooms, one per cabin. Air conditioning throughout. Bluetooth sound system. Italian Azimut build

Flybridge and Stern

The flybridge is the reason to be aboard at golden hour. It sits above the main deck with its own seating and lifts you clear of the cockpit, which is what people come out for on a sunset run. The main deck handles the group and the cockpit is the social end. At anchor the floating mat goes over the side, and unlike most of the fleet it comes with the boat rather than being added at booking. No glass on deck, and the noise stays reasonable once she is anchored. Flybridge with seating above the main deck. Floating mat aboard as standard. Cockpit seating on the main deck. Ice and water stocked. No glass containers on deck

Sunset Runs and Sandbars

Two clear ways to use her. The two-hour package is a sunset cruise or a quick bay run with the skyline in front of you. The four and five-hour packages open up the sandbar: anchor down at Haulover, the floating mat over the side, and a long swim stop before heading back. Food and drink are brought aboard by the group, which is how she is set up, with ice and water already stocked. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, anniversaries, corporate days and photo shoots all sit on the permitted list, thirteen guests being the ceiling, with advance notice for anything needing setup. Two-hour package, the shortest in the fleet. Four and five-hour packages for sandbar days. Floating mat included for swim stops. Bring your own food and drink. Ice and water stocked. Birthdays and bachelorette charters permitted

Captain and Crew

Staffing is in the price: a captain and crew, with no separate line for either. The captain holds United States Coast Guard charter licensing for Biscayne Bay and has the final say on safety, anchoring included, which on a two-hour window means calling the route quickly rather than drifting into a decision. The group is briefed before departure. Crew handle boarding, the swim stop and service through the charter. Fuel at standard cruising speed is covered. Gratuity runs fifteen percent by custom and is added on top. A VHF radio is aboard, concierge cover sits on WhatsApp, and the Coast Guard is reachable from everywhere she runs.
