48′ CRUISERS – BOAT RENTALÂ
Book a boat charter at Nora Patterson Bay Island Park in Sarasota, Florida. Our 48′ Cruisers is a popular model for day charters. “Still Playing” combines modern styling with an innovative dual-salon layout in a boat of uncommon versatility and comfort. This boat rental was built for comfort and relaxation. By far the most notable feature of this boat is its “loft” layout, where the helm deck overlooks the lower level salon and galley. The area forward of the helm is open, giving the galley a cathedral effect that brings sun and air down. The upper salon is fully equipped for entertaining with an entertainment center and wet bar to starboard and a U-shaped sofa with fixed table to port.
The lower deck layout of this boat rental has a full-service galley to port, an L-shaped sofa with adjustable table to starboard, a full-beam master stateroom aft and a VIP stateroom forward. Both offer queen-size beds with ocean views and ensuite bathrooms, with showers. You’ll get awesome views of the outside from a large six-foot sunroof, huge side windows to port and starboard and triple sliding glass doors aft. The main deck has more natural light than any other boat in her class. The cockpit and swim platform are very large. The walk-through windshield and spacious engine room add to the boat’s appeal. You’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite tunes on our bluetooth stereo. An onboard ice chest to keep your drinks nice and cold. Water toys include Noodles. Still Play’n is the ideal day charter for you. Welcome aboard!

The amount collected (APA) will be the Total or an Estimate of how much you plan to spend on *Provisions during your charter, plus any service fees. Examples include food & drinks, fuel (term charters), docking & landing fees (foreign ports) & documentation fees (i.e. Bahamas & U.S. Customs).
We supply basic provisions such as bottled water, ice, towels, toiletries, kitchenware, cutlery, napkins, etc.

Relax onboard and relish in the scenery or photograph dolphins jumping through our boat’s wake. Customize your trip or enjoy an incredible 4 or 7 hour midday/sunset cruise. You can also explore some of the most beautiful natural habitats in Florida.
There is a lot to see and do in Florida, the Keys & the Bahamas. We’ll start with a preliminary itinerary based on your needs. Charter Length, Boat or Yacht Size, Tide & Weather Conditions are factors that will determine a specific itinerary. It’s best to discuss options with your Captain the night before your charter & again before leaving the dock.

The Charterer will receive a Full Refund if he/she cancels (for any reason) more than 30 days from your charter start time.
Half Payment is required if you cancel within 14-30 days.
Full Payment is required if you cancel within 14 Days.
Severe Weather is a circumstance in which your charter can be postponed without penalty. For example, a named storm such as a Hurricane, Lightning, Heavy Thunderstorms (Yellow or Red on the radar) during your charter times. In this case, you’ll receive a voucher for the same yacht, to be redeemed by you or someone you designate, at a later date. Rain and/or lots of clouds do not qualify.
Mechanical Failure is a rare occurrence. However, it can happen at any time. If we are not able to provide you with a functioning yacht by the time of your charter, you will receive a full refund. If your yacht breaks down during your charter, you will receive a partial refund, based on the time of the breakdown.
A vast majority of our charters do NOT run into cancellation or postponement issues, due in large part to the consistently good boating climate in the Miami area and our good yacht maintenance practices.
