Location: Miami, United States

4 bedrooms, sleeps 13.

Price: From $4,600 USD per charter

An 84-foot Azimut, one of the largest day-charter hulls working Biscayne Bay, for up to 13 guests. Italian built, she reads as a floating penthouse: a plush salon behind picture windows, wide decks fore and aft, and a flybridge with a sunpad above the main deck. Below there are four staterooms and five bathrooms, one more bathroom than stateroom, which is unusual on a hull this size and useful when thirteen people are aboard for eight hours. Air conditioning runs throughout and a premium sound system plays through the boat. Captain and crew are included and so is fuel at standard cruising speed. Charters leave Miami Marina. Haulover Sandbar, the Star Island and Sunset Islands pass, Stiltsville, Nixon Beach and Key Biscayne all sit on the card, and she holds the range for a longer day-run toward the Keys. | Location: Miami, United States | Bedrooms: 4 | Guests: 13 | Price: From $4,600 USD per charter | Top Amenities: Wide decks for 13 guests, Plush salon with picture windows, Four staterooms below | Best For: Milestone celebrations up to 13, Corporate entertaining, Editorial and brand shoots

The Azimut 84 is the presence boat in the Miami day-charter fleet. At eighty-four feet she carries a volume the sixties and seventies cannot match, and it shows in the way a group of thirteen disperses aboard her instead of crowding one deck. The salon sits behind full picture windows, so the interior stays connected to the water rather than feeling like a room. Four staterooms and five bathrooms sit below. The flybridge adds a second level with its own seating and sunpad. Fuel at standard cruising speed and a full crew are included in the charter rate.

The Bay and the Keys

Charters run from Miami Marina. The standard card is Haulover Sandbar for the anchor-down scene about thirty minutes out, the Star Island and Sunset Islands cruise-by about fifteen minutes away, Nixon Beach and Stiltsville at roughly twenty-five, and Key Biscayne twenty minutes off for calmer water. What the 84 adds is reach: she carries the range for a longer day-run south toward the Keys when the weather holds, which is a different kind of day from a sandbar anchor. The captain reads conditions on the morning and sets the order. MIA sits roughly twenty-two minutes away by car. Departs Miami Marina. Haulover Sandbar about 30 minutes by boat. Star Island and Sunset Islands cruise-by about 15 minutes. Stiltsville and Nixon Beach about 25 minutes. Key Biscayne about 20 minutes. Range for longer day-runs toward the Keys. MIA roughly 22 minutes away by car

Salon and Staterooms

The salon is the room that sells her. Picture windows run the length of it, so the light and the waterline stay in view from inside. Air conditioning runs throughout and a premium system carries the music across the decks. Below, four staterooms and five bathrooms, which is the detail worth knowing: more heads than cabins is rare on this hull, and on a full-day charter with thirteen aboard it removes the one genuine friction point of a big group on a boat. Nobody waits, and there is a cabin free whenever somebody wants out of the afternoon. Four staterooms below. Five bathrooms, one more than staterooms. Picture-window salon. Air conditioning throughout. Premium sound system

Wide Decks and Flybridge

Deck space is the argument for an eighty-four-footer. Wide decks fore and aft mean the group is never funnelled into one seating area, and the flybridge stacks a second outdoor level above the main deck with its own sunpad. At anchor the swim platform off the stern is the way into the water. In practice a charter day splits: sun on the flybridge and the foredeck, conversation aft, and a steady traffic between the two. Glass containers are not permitted on deck, and the crew ask for reasonable noise levels while at anchor. Wide decks fore and aft for 13 guests. Flybridge with seating and sunpad. Swim platform off the stern. Open aft deck away from the sunpad. No glass containers on deck

Anchored and Entertaining

She is built for entertaining at anchor as much as for cruising, and that is how most charters use her. Snorkel gear, floats and paddleboards come as add-ons rather than fixtures. Food is either booked in through the concierge or carried aboard by the group. Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, corporate charters, photo shoots and press days are all listed as permitted up to the thirteen-guest maximum. Advance notice is the thing that matters: the boat is loaded and set before you reach the dock, so a cake or a specific setup needs flagging at booking. Water toys on request, not standard. Food booked through the concierge or carried aboard. Engagements, milestone birthdays and corporate days permitted. Editorial, photo and press shoots permitted. Maximum 13 guests. Reasonable noise levels at anchor

Captain and Crew

Crew are part of the charter rather than an add-on, and on a hull this size that matters: eighty-four feet with thirteen guests aboard needs people working it. The captain carries a United States Coast Guard licence for charter operations on Biscayne Bay and rules on every safety question, including the anchorage and whether a longer southbound run makes sense that day. Briefing comes first. Crew then run boarding, the swim platform, service on both deck levels and the interior. Fuel at standard cruising speed is inside the rate. A customary fifteen percent gratuity sits outside it. Concierge cover is on WhatsApp around the clock. Crew are part of the charter, not an add-on. USCG licence covers Biscayne Bay charter operations. Captain rules on the anchorage and the route. Fuel inside the rate at standard cruising speed. Customary fifteen percent gratuity sits outside it. VHF aboard, concierge on WhatsApp around the clock
