Description

Step aboard a thoroughly modern 51' yacht designed for perspective: an AC upper lounge wrapped in 360° windows, a generous salon below, and an electric swim platform that makes getting in the water ridiculously easy. The two-level layout lets your group naturally split—sightseeing upstairs, conversations and grazing downstairs, then everyone floating together when it's time to unwind.

This boat solves a problem most people don't realize they have until they're on the water: where does everyone go? The answer here is elegant. The upper lounge becomes the observation deck for those who want views and breeze. The main salon handles conversation, snacks, and AC refuge. The bow works for sun-seekers. And when you anchor, the electric swim platform makes water access seamless for all ages and swim levels.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

✔️Professional USCG-licensed captain + crew + fuel for all standard routes
✔️Cooler stocked with bottled water (bring your own food & drinks)
✔️Multi-zone Bluetooth sound system
✔️Full air conditioning throughout + multiple private restrooms
✔️Bow lounge seating + shaded aft cockpit
✔️Available Large floating mat for sandbar lounging
✔️All required safety equipment & life jackets
✔️Towels available upon request

WHERE WE CRUISE

🏙️Downtown from the water – Glass towers reflecting off the Intracoastal, Riverwalk's manicured greens, and the rare angles most Fort Lauderdale visitors never experience. Your captain will point out architectural highlights and the occasional celebrity penthouse.
🌴Las Olas Isles – A living architecture tour where Old Florida charm (coral rock walls, terra cotta roofs) sits directly across the canal from sleek modernist statements. Every turn reveals another jaw-dropping property.
💎Millionaires' Row – Where mega-yachts moor as casually as cars in a driveway, and waterfront glamour is simply the baseline. This stretch defines Fort Lauderdale's reputation as a yachting capital.
🛥️17th Street Causeway / Port Everglades views – Watch drawbridges lift for passing vessels, cruise ships gliding toward the Caribbean, and the constant harbor energy that makes this city tick. The sweeping views from the bridge never get old.
🌅Sunrise Bay or Lake Sylvia – Protected swim stops with downtown skyline backdrops. Crystal-clear water, gentle current, and enough space that you feel like you've discovered your own private cove (conditions permitting).

WHAT TO EXPECT

3-Hour Experience – Ideal for first-timers or afternoon escapes
Complete river and Intracoastal tour through downtown, Las Olas Isles, and Millionaires' Row, plus some possible time anchored at Sunrise Bay or Lake Sylvia. Enough time to swim, use the floating mat, and feel like you've actually been somewhere.

4-Hour Experience – Our most popular option for celebrations
Everything in the 3-hour trip, but now you have more time at anchor. This is where the two-level layout really shines—some guests stay up top with drinks and views, others float on the mat, a few explore with snorkel gear. Everyone finds their rhythm.

6-Hour Experience – The "design your own day" option
Extended sightseeing with multiple anchor locations, OR incorporate a dock-and-dine stop at a waterfront restaurant (your meal, our logistics). Popular combinations: morning swim at the bay, lunch dockside at a restaurant, afternoon cruise past the mega-yacht marinas. You set the priorities.

8-Hour Experience – Full immersion with zero rush
Everything above, plus the luxury of not watching the clock. Add a second swim location, time the trip for sunset from the upper lounge, or simply anchor somewhere beautiful and let conversation unfold naturally. Perfect for milestone celebrations, multi-family gatherings, or anytime "hurry" isn't in the vocabulary.

PERFECT FOR...

💍 Anniversaries & Proposals – The upper lounge becomes your private "skybox" for the moment, with 360° views as your backdrop
🥂 Elevated Bachelorette Parties – Sophisticated vibe, photo-friendly bow and upper deck, without sacrificing the fun factor
💼 Corporate Hosting – The layout naturally creates conversation zones; quiet ride quality keeps meetings productive and client entertainment polished
🌅 Sunset Celebrations – Golden hour from the upper lounge is legitimately spectacular, especially with champagne and zero time pressure
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Multi-Family Gatherings – Different generations find their own spaces; grandparents love the shaded salon, kids rotate between bow and swim platform

WHAT SETS THIS YACHT APART
The 360° upper lounge isn't a gimmick—it fundamentally changes how you experience the water. Instead of everyone crowding the bow or fighting for a sight line, you have wraparound views that make every seat the best seat. Add in the electric swim platform (no awkward ladder gymnastics), multiple climate zones, and thoughtful crew service, and you have a vessel that simply works better for groups.

We maintain this yacht to exceptionally high standards, respond quickly to inquiries, and our crew has hosted hundreds of charters ranging from intimate anniversaries to corporate events of 12. You're not just booking a boat—you're booking a team that shows up on time, keeps things pristine, and adapts to whatever your day needs.

FAQs

What type of yacht should I charter?
No matter what type of yacht you choose to charter, we know that you will have a fantastic time on the water. If you are more about the journey, and want a relaxing time aboard, then choose from one of the many sailboats on the platform. If you are more about the destination, and going fast, check out the powerboats on Sailo. For an exclusive experience, Sailo recommends chartering a luxurious yacht for the day. Finally, Sailo has access to many event boats as well for group outings from 50 - 1,000 guests. If you are still unsure, then just ask! Read more
What should I bring?
Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location. Please coordinate with your captain regarding any food or drinks that you wish to bring aboard. For term-charters, Sailo recommends using soft-sided luggage, and keeping it simple. Read more
How long does a rental last?
The basic daily rental is structured as either a quarter-, half-, or full-day. A quarter-day is two hours, a half-day is four hours, and a full-day is eight hours. You can also discuss a custom trip with the boat by contacting the owner through Sailo. Most term charters (weekly rentals) are from Saturday to Saturday. Keep in mind that the boat generally needs to be back at the dock by Friday evening, and you will need to be off the boat on Saturday morning so they can prepare the boat for the next guests.
