Aboard the 48' Sea Ray you move through Biscayne Bay with a feeling of measured ease: the Downtown Miami skyline slides by, exclusive mansions on Star Island come into view, and small islands provide places to anchor, swim and stretch out on a floating mat. The yacht’s thoughtful layout and flybridge invite long, unhurried hours on the water—daylight cruising into sunset—for private celebrations, family outings or a refined escape from the shore.
