Day Yacht · 43 ft · Up to 12 guests
A 43 ft day boat with a pale blue hull and a white hardtop: a sunpad at the stern, a teak cockpit table and two cabins below.
The Jeanneau DB/43 is a 43 ft day boat for up to 12 guests who want a modern open deck with real comfort below. Her pale blue hull with long dark hull windows and a white hardtop give her a look of her own, and the layout fits a birthday crew, two families sharing a day or friends planning a long swim on Biscayne Bay.
At the stern, a wide quilted sunpad backs onto the cockpit, where a teak table stands between two white settees under the hardtop. Once the boat is anchored, the bulwarks beside the stern fold down into teak terraces close to the water. Ahead of the windshield, the bow carries a second cushioned sunpad framed by rails. Down the companionway, a galley with a microwave and a sink is set in light oak joinery, followed by a master cabin with a wide double bed and a guest cabin with its own double. Air conditioning keeps the lower deck cool on a hot afternoon.
With four hours ($2,750), the DB/43 can idle past the mansions of Star Island and head back as the towers turn gold. Six hours ($3,150) leave room for an anchored swim off the teak terraces at Nixon Sandbar, and a full eight-hour day ($3,950) adds Monument Island and a slower return across the bay.

The cockpit settees around the teak table take most of the group, while the stern and bow sunpads hold those who want sun. Below deck, the two cabins and the galley give a quiet place to change or cool off in the air conditioning.
At the stern, the side bulwarks lower to form two teak terraces just above the water. With the boat at anchor, they widen the aft deck, so guests can sit with their feet near the sea or slip in for a swim.
A galley with a microwave, a sink and a fridge in light oak joinery, a master cabin with a wide double bed and a guest cabin with a second double. Both cabins share one bathroom.
Four hours are enough for a Star Island loop and the skyline at golden hour. Choose six or eight hours when the plan is a long anchored stop, so the terraces and both sunpads get real use at a sandbar.
