AMMONITE | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

From the moment you arrive on board AMMONITE, you are in the care of an energetic crew of 3 led by Captain Damian Bird, whose depth of experience brings an immediate sense of ease to the voyage. A South African captain with a lifelong boating background, Damian has commanded several charter yachts between 86 and 100 feet and is highly experienced in the waters of the Bahamas. His responsibility for vessel operations, maintenance, and repair is supported by a zero-incident safety record and careful adherence to professional operating standards, giving guests every reason to feel at ease throughout their time on board. He is joined by First Mate Lotte Bisgaard and Chef/Stew Kylie Wicklund, who round out a team that is both capable and welcoming.

There is a reassuring strength to the way this crew works together. Damian handles the yacht with the confidence of someone who knows both the destination and the vessel inside out, while Lotte supports the experience through guest care, deck management, and expertly coordinated excursions. For guests interested in the underwater world of the Bahamas, her role in SCUBA setup, dive briefings, and dive leadership adds real value, making those moments feel accessible, safe, and well-guided. Their teamwork helps every part of the charter move with ease, whether the day is focused on quiet cruising, island exploration, or more active time in the water.

Kylie Wicklund adds the finishing touch to life aboard with a hospitality style that feels polished, intuitive, and attentive to the details that matter. Her experience as a former large yacht Chief Stew is reflected in the way she looks after the interior, handles service, and responds to client preferences with professionalism and care. She also supports excursion planning, helping create a guest experience that feels smooth from start to finish. Combined with thoughtfully prepared meals and a warm onboard atmosphere, her presence ensures that time aboard AMMONITE in the Bahamas feels both comfortable and memorable in all the right ways.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the Bahamas:
A different side of the Bahamas reveals itself when you step aboard the Nordhavn Custom 23m luxury crewed motor yacht AMMONITE in Nassau and begin a seven-day Bahamas yachting itinerary. Days drift between clear-water anchorages, hidden corners of the islands, and stretches of sea that seem to glow under the sun, creating a setting that feels far removed from the everyday. AMMONITE turns that setting into a deeply comfortable and rewarding escape, giving guests the freedom to enjoy each part of the journey with ease.

Whether the week is shaped around snorkeling and underwater adventures, long afternoons under the Bahamian sun, culinary discoveries, or a combination of each, the Boatbookings team will collaborate with your crew to design something genuinely memorable. The experience is tailored, relaxed, and full of those moments that feel especially satisfying when shared with the right people in the right place. By the time the itinerary comes to a close, AMMONITE makes it clear just how rewarding the Bahamas can be from the water.

Overview:
AMMONITE offers the kind of Bahamas cruising experience that feels both deeply comfortable and full of character. Her unique off-white exterior gives the Nordhavn Custom 23m luxury motor yacht a refined look on the water, especially as she moves across the turquoise shallows and deeper sapphire passages of the islands. She has been carefully refitted to make the most of life on board, with state-of-the-art amenities and spacious living areas for 6 that support every side of the charter experience. Whether the day calls for lively conversation, quiet lounging, or a little of both, AMMONITE provides a setting that feels smooth, welcoming, and exceptionally well considered.

Outdoors, the pleasures of the Bahamas unfold at an easy pace. A seafood-themed alfresco dinner on the main aft deck quickly becomes one of those moments guests talk about long after the trip, especially when it is enjoyed at anchor in the Exumas with the evening light settling over the water. The next morning, the experience becomes more local and more personal with a hearty Bahamian breakfast, perhaps followed by Souse or stewed Conch for a true taste of the islands. Up on the flybridge, the view opens beautifully toward Paradise Island, and with plush seating beneath you and a Piña Colada in hand, it becomes the kind of place where an hour can easily turn into an entire afternoon.

Step inside, and AMMONITE feels every bit as inviting as the scenery outside. Her dreamy interior has a bright, upscale quality, with a radiant saloon and indoor dining area that make entertaining on board feel easy and enjoyable. The design balances warmth and sophistication, allowing guests to gather comfortably without the space ever feeling formal or stiff. Her cabins, finished with teak details, ambient lighting, and private ensuite facilities, are arranged to provide both privacy and comfort, giving each guest a restful place to retreat after a day spent exploring the islands.

There is also a strong sense of adventure built into the journey. Eleuthera offers the chance to go scuba diving and experience the striking marine world that defines so much of the Bahamas’ appeal. In Shroud Cay, catching the high tide and moving through the mangroves reveals one of the destination’s most memorable natural spectacles, where turtles, rays, barracuda, and other aquatic animals appear all around you. AMMONITE brings these experiences together with ease, pairing immersive exploration with excellent comfort in a way that feels especially rewarding.
