The “Boatel” concept is recently becoming a “hip’ alternative to high end hotel accommodations. Comparable to the luxury accommodations on land, the yachts offer luxurious accommodations, stylish living spaces, state of the art TV, stereo etc., and on the marina the use of facilities like swimming pools, gourmet catering options, maid services.
If you let the charter company know a few days in advance, they turn your “hotel” into a fully staffed ship.
Below is a list of Boatels Vessels available in the Miami and Miami Beach areas:

44′ Searay Sundancer Sport Yacht.
Starting at $400 per night + applicable taxes & service fees / 4-6 guest maximum.

51 Searay Sedan Bridge Motor Yacht.
Starting at $500 per night + applicable taxes & service fees / 6-8 guest maximum.

61’ Bluewater Custom Motor Yacht
Starting at $600 per night + applicable taxes & service fees / 8 guest maximum.

65’ Ferretti Luxury Motor Yacht
Starting at $800 per night + applicable taxes & service fees / 8 guest maximum.

The name Maraya sounds like paradise. The new 54 meter hull was launched last September and is the product of a close relationship
between the technical staff of CRN and Zuccon International Project, which designed the external layout.

This five-deck ship was built from the same nautical platform as the 54-metre ship “Ability”.
At the request of the ship-owner, the interior furnishings were handled by the designers of the Claude Missir Agency.
While the healthy external volumes leave no question as to the fact that the vessel is a CRN ship, the interiors of this mega-yacht show the start of an absolutely new design approach.
