Description

Escape the ordinary aboard a refined 50' European yacht with whisper-quiet cruising, generous shade, and Fort Lauderdale's most iconic waterways at your fingertips. The spacious AC salon, dual bathrooms, and wide swim platform make hosting effortless—whether it's an anniversary, a client outing, or simply a beautiful day with people you love.

This isn't a party barge with a captain bolted on. It's a thoughtfully designed vessel where every detail—from the shaded cockpit seating to the easy-access swim ladder—exists to make your day feel seamless. Couples find it romantic without being stuffy. Families appreciate the safety and comfort. Corporate hosts love how it elevates conversation without screaming "look at me."

✔️Cooler stocked with bottled water (Ice available as an add-on)
✔️Portable Bluetooth Speakers
✔️Large floating mat for sandbar lounging
✔️Full air conditioning + 2 private bathrooms with showers

WHERE WE CRUISE

🏙️New River & Riverwalk – Palm-lined curves, drawbridges lifting on cue, downtown skyline framed by ancient banyans. This is where Fort Lauderdale earned its "Venice of America" nickname.
🌴Las Olas Isles / Millionaires' Row – Architectural eye candy at every turn: classic Old Florida estates sitting next to modern glass boxes, with superyachts docked like sculptures. Prime celebrity home-spotting territory.
🛥️Bahia Mar & Marina Mile – Storied marinas buzzing with sportfishers, world-cruising sailboats, and the occasional mega-yacht fresh from the shipyard. This is where yacht culture lives and breathes.
🌉17th Street Causeway – Sweeping port and inlet views from Fort Lauderdale's iconic bascule bridge. On a good day, you'll catch cruise ships departing and charter boats heading to the Bahamas.
🌅Lake Sylvia or Sunrise Bay – Calm, protected anchorages perfect for a swim and float. Crystal-clear water, downtown skyline in the distance, and enough space that you feel like you've found your own secret spot (weather and conditions permitting).

WHAT TO EXPECT

3-Hour Experience – Perfect for first-timers or tight schedules
Scenic tour through New River and Las Olas Isles with celebrity home narration from your captain, plus a possible stop at Lake Sylvia or Sunrise Bay for swimming and floating mat time. You'll see the highlights without feeling rushed.

4-Hour Experience – Our most popular option
Everything in the 3-hour trip, plus extended time at anchor. Swim, lounge on the mat, enjoy your drinks and snacks, and actually relax. Many guests use this window for a floating toast, impromptu photoshoots, or just floating in silence watching the skyline.

6-Hour Experience – The "no-agenda" cruise
Full sightseeing tour with multiple anchor stops, or add a dock-and-dine option at a waterfront restaurant (your meal, our coordination). Some groups split it: morning swim at the sandbar, lunch dockside, afternoon cruise through Millionaires' Row. You set the pace.

8-Hour Experience – The full immersion
Everything above, plus the luxury of time. Add a second swim location, watch the sunset, or simply anchor somewhere beautiful and let the day unfold. Popular for milestone anniversaries, proposals, or anytime "hurry up" isn't part of the plan.

This boat is the exact opposite of truly opulent. The listing has three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bath, however, we did not see any of the bedrooms, and they were not available for our use, clearly because the Captain and his father were down there majority of the time.
The captain did not listen to our wishes, we asked for calm waters due to a couple passengers being prone to motion sickness, however, our wishes were disregarded and we were taken in the ocean route which had 5 to 6 foot swells and took almost 3 hours to get to our destination. We kept asking how much longer and they kept telling us just a few more minutes, needless to say it took hours. Just be honest about the length of time that it’s going to take to get to a destination in rough waters, and be mindful of your passengers! Then we find out that we could’ve went a whole different way, which would’ve been more Scenic no turbulence. Needless to say one of the passengers physically got sick because the waters were rough and we were out there for three hours holding onto our seats! It was a terrible experience.
The area where we finally anchored was subpar, considering that the boat next to us where the guy had been living on the boat for three months, and had trash cans floating in the water and was an eye sore. It was such a bad experience we asked to leave early, then we got taken on an extended tour when we just wanted to get back. The Captain did not listen to anything that we asked for, and the boat was not clean, didn’t even provide hand soap in the bathroom. Needless to say this experience for two individuals birthdays ended up being a terrible day on the water and was nothing like what we expected.

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.
