Day Yacht · 40 ft · Up to 13 guests
A 40 ft Sea Ray for up to 13 guests: a canopy-shaded cockpit with a table, a salon with a galley and a forward stateroom below.
The Sea Ray 40 is a 40 ft express cruiser for up to 13 guests, with a shaded cockpit up top and a salon and stateroom below. She suits a birthday, a family outing or a small team day that needs one boat with a place to sit in the shade and a place to cool off.
Aft, the open cockpit has a planked deck, a pedestal table and cushioned L-shaped lounges, all under a tan canopy that reaches forward over the helm. The helm has a Raymarine screen, with a bench seat beside it. Down the companionway, the salon wraps a curved settee around an oval table, with a TV on the wall and a galley counter with a sink. Forward, the stateroom has an island bed and a skylight hatch overhead.
Four hours ($1,150) fit a loop past Star Island and the Venetian Islands with the sun going down behind the skyline. At six hours ($1,450) there is time to drop anchor off Monument Island for a swim, and eight hours ($1,950) stretch to a full afternoon at Haulover Sandbar. See other Sea Ray yachts in Miami or half-day yacht rentals.
Most of the group settles in the cockpit, where the L-shaped lounges face a pedestal table under the canopy. The helm bench takes a few more, and the salon settee below gives a cool seat for anyone who wants a break from the sun.
A salon with a curved settee, an oval table, a TV and a galley counter with a sink, and a forward stateroom with an island bed and a skylight hatch. It is a good place to change or rest between swim stops.
Four hours cover a relaxed loop to Star Island and along the Venetian Islands. Add two hours for a swim at Monument Island, or go to eight for a long afternoon at Haulover Sandbar.
A tan canopy covers the cockpit lounges and the helm, so the seating stays shaded while the boat is moving or at anchor. The salon below is out of the sun altogether.
A cabin level. Besides the cockpit, the group gets a salon with a galley counter and a stateroom, so people can split between the deck and the cooler space below.
