Day Yacht · 45 ft · Up to 13 guests
A 45 ft Cross Cabin day boat for up to 13 guests: a hardtop over the cockpit, sunpads at both ends and two cabin lounges below.
The Axopar 45 XC Cross Cabin is a 45 ft day boat for up to 13 guests, built around a hardtop with glass roof panels and an open foredeck. She suits a birthday, an afternoon with friends or a small team outing that wants space to move around.
Start at the stern, where a wide sunpad spreads over the outboards. Ahead of it the cockpit holds an L-shaped sofa and a pedestal table under the hardtop, and three helm seats face the console. Cushions cover the foredeck for sunbathing. Below, a bow cabin has a cushioned settee with skylight hatches, and an aft cabin lounge wraps a U-shaped sofa around its own hatch.
Four hours ($1,690) fit a slow run past Star Island and the Venetian causeways before sunset. At six hours ($2,100) the boat can anchor for a swim at Nixon Sandbar, and eight hours ($2,600) stretch to Haulover Sandbar and a no-rush return. Compare other half-day yacht rentals in Miami.
The cockpit takes most of the group, with the L-shaped sofa around the table and three seats at the helm. Sunbathers use the foredeck and the stern sunpad, and anyone who wants a break from the sun can sit in either cabin lounge.
Her layout puts the living space on deck. The hardtop shades a large cockpit, the sunpads sit at both ends, and the cabins below are lounges rather than the main place to be.
The hardtop covers the cockpit sofa, the table and the helm seats, and both cabin lounges stay out of the sun. The foredeck and stern sunpads are open, so the group can choose sun or shade without leaving the boat.
Four hours suit one loop past Star Island and the Venetian causeways with time on the sunpads. A group that wants a swim stop at a sandbar is better off with 6 or 8 hours.
The three helm seats and the cockpit sofa are under the hardtop, so they are the comfortable places while the boat is moving. The foredeck cushions are better for a stop at anchor.
