How lucky we are to have been able to create these precious moments with both our family and our wonderful crew. We will forever be asking one another, "how deep is it?" and will surely be enjoying the mouth-watering recipes that chef kindly left with us for many meals to come.
It's hard to believe we are already en route back to Nassau, then faster home to Nashville, but the vibrantly sheer beauty of this place will be long-stored into each of our minds.
Thanks again, Dan + Sierra, for generously providing us an opportunity to explore with you!

Our chef was absolutely magnificent and the food was exceptional and he catered to all our needs.
I can strongly recommend this charter for a fun filled,gastronomical, unique trip.
Thank you Captain Yves and Chef Gautier
The boat itself was nothing short of amazing, offering us a comfortable and luxurious experience throughout the trip. However, what truly made our vacation unforgettable was the genuine care and attention we received from the crew. They went above and beyond to ensure that every member of our family had a delightful time, especially my child.
From preparing delightful ice cream treats treats to the captain's thoughtful gesture of towing my child behind the dinghy on paddle board, the crew consistently exceeded our expectations. Their dedication to making my child happy was heartwarming, and we truly appreciate their efforts.
Each day brought new adventures as we explored different islands, beaches, and snorkeling spots. The locations were not only breathtakingly beautiful but also carefully selected to provide us with a truly spectacular experience. The variety and quality of the activities offered were outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time on the water.
Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking an unforgettable sailing experience. The combination of the incredible boat, the friendly and attentive crew, and the stunning locations made our trip a truly remarkable one.
Once again, thank you for providing us with such a memorable vacation. We look forward to the opportunity to sail with you again in the future.

FAQ
WHAT TO DO IN THE BAHAMAS?
We’ll be pleased to assist you in deciding which activities suit your personality and interests the best. Your crew and captain are experts. They are familiar with the locale and the greatest things to do. They can give advice on where to go fishing, diving, or snorkeling. They are aware of the locations of the remotest beaches. They can give advice on the top boutiques, eateries, or nightclubs.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN REGARDS TO MEALS?
We’ll provide you a food choice survey to fill out so we can figure out what kinds of meals you and your visitors would like to eat while you’re away. Along with your preferences, the form will ask about any dietary requirements, medical restrictions, or food allergies that any members of your party may have. Prior to your departure, you will also get the chance to ask any questions of a crew member. The team will next make your favorite cocktails and fresh, gourmet meals for the rest of the voyage.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RATES LISTED?
Running costs are not included in the rates given for motor yacht charters and must be paid separately. Catamarans for sailing must be all-inclusive. The costs are determined by the number of people and cover all meals, drinks (including the typical ship’s bar), fuel, ice, and aquatic activities. Taxes, dockage fees, and communication expenses must all be paid individually.
Food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, port fees, and any other costs associated with the charter are considered running costs.
Typically, the operating costs represent 35% of the base charter fee. A 35% Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) will be paid in advance of your departure, giving the crew time to stock the yacht. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be provided to you at the conclusion of the charter. If there is still a balance, you will get a refund; however, if expenses are higher than the APA, you will have to pay the outstanding balance before disembarking.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS?
Florida’s tax ranges from 6-7%, depending on the port of embarkation, while the Bahamian tax is 14%. The charter cost also includes tax.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
What to anticipate if you have to cancel your vacation is covered in your charter agreement. To protect yourself in the event that unavoidable circumstances force you to cancel your trip, we advise buying cancellation insurance.
WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE CAPTAIN WHILE ON MY CHARTER?
A luxury yacht rental is made to meet all of your requirements for the entirety of your journey. The skipper and crew will do everything possible to meet and exceed your expectations. The captain’s first priority, however, is the security of his crew and the boat. He has the last say on anything that could affect the safety of passengers.
IS IT CUSTOMARY TO TIP THE CREW?
Yes. Although not required, leaving a tip is encouraged, especially if your yacht rental experience left you feeling especially satisfied. At the completion of your charter, you should give the captain a 15% gratuity.
HOW DO I RESERVE A YACHT?
Once you’ve decided on a yacht, we’ll place an “option” on it, securing it for 48 hours while you finish the paperwork. Then, a yacht charter agreement must be read and signed. We are happy to answer any queries you may have and thoroughly explain the terms. You must send your completed contract together with a deposit for the charter.
HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?
50% of the charter cost is required as a down payment; however, if there are less than 30 days to departure, the whole amount is due. The deposit is made via bank wire transfer and is kept in an escrow account by the principal agent of the yacht until just before the charter date. You have secured the yacht once we get your signed contract and down payment.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED AND THE DEPOSIT IS MADE?
We’ll start collaborating with you to customize your charter. Your food and exercise preference survey will be delivered to you. We’ll set up a phone call for you and the crew. We will assist you in planning all charter-related details, including transportation in a limousine and flights.
WHEN IS THE FINAL PAYMENT DUE?
If you are renting a motor boat, the APA funds and the remaining balance of the charter are due 30 days before the start of your trip.
