A PLACE IN THE SUN | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

A PLACE IN THE SUN welcomes guests to The Bahamas with a confident crew of 5, led by Captain Dwight Ledbetter, whose lifetime of water experience gives the charter its reassuring heartbeat. From early competitive achievements to 196,000 bluewater miles, 12 Atlantic crossings, world-class offshore race wins, and command of luxury motor yachts, Captain Dwight brings skill that guests can feel in every smooth passage, anchorage choice, and calm approach. With Mate Kevin Thompson and Deckhand/Stewardess Aubrey Purschke adding their own USCG Captain’s licenses and safety-focused experience, the yacht is in capable hands from morning departure to sunset at anchor.

Life around the water feels exciting and approachable with Kevin and Aubrey supporting the guest experience. Kevin is a well-known charter yacht professional with a 200 Ton Master license, yacht operations and safety training, and a genuine passion for fishing and diving, while Aubrey brings a 100 Ton Master license, navigation experience, Nitrox-enriched air diving, PADI Advanced SCUBA diving, freedive instruction, and a love for fishing and freediving. Together, they help transform Bahamian waters into a place for play, discovery, and confidence, whether guests are exploring, swimming, fishing, or simply soaking in the blue horizon.

Chef Aaron Byers brings a deliciously traveled point of view to A PLACE IN THE SUN, shaped by fresh New Jersey ingredients, international kitchens, mega yacht experience, a successful South Florida food truck venture, and culinary exploration in more than 50 countries. His food is bold, personal, and full of global influence, perfect after a day of salt air and island adventure. Chief Stewardess Erika Pagtalunan, certified in STCW, Coast Guard firefighting, and Yacht Interior Service Level 1, completes the charter with polished service, bartending, decorating, organization, and sincere hospitality, making guests feel safe, well fed, and completely at ease in The Bahamas.

Overview:
The Broward 100 luxury motor yacht A PLACE IN THE SUN brings the Bahamas into focus from the moment her bow points toward open water. Her modern silhouette traces a graceful line across calm seas, while her decks and interiors invite guests to trade schedules for sea breezes, shaded conversations, and the pleasure of watching the horizon shift throughout the day.

On the aft deck, alfresco dining feels wonderfully connected to the islands, with gentle waves tapping the hull and the aroma of grilled lobster rising into the warm air near the Exumas. At dawn, the foredeck offers a softer pace, made for local dishes, quiet coffee, and ocean air before the day begins. As the sun lowers, the flybridge shifts into a relaxed social scene, where cocktails, music, bubbling jacuzzis, and laughter carry across the water.

The saloon welcomes guests into a bright, composed interior where wide windows keep the sea close from every angle. Panoramic views, teak floors, and refined décor create a sense of timeless comfort without pulling attention away from the world outside. In each cabin, ensuite facilities and a cocoon-like atmosphere offer privacy and rest after hours spent swimming, exploring, and enjoying life on a luxury motor yacht charter.

Cruising toward Eleuthera, A PLACE IN THE SUN lets guests experience the wilder character of the Bahamas at tender speed. Shroud Cay’s mangroves open into narrow waterways where turtles rise for air, rays slide through clear shallows, and the water glows under the changing light. It is the kind of Bahamas yacht charter experience that feels beautifully unforced, shaped by nature, comfort, and the freedom to linger.
