Step aboard AWAY and feel the confidence of a 7-member crew led by Captain Devan Van der Berg, whose leadership background spans explorer yachts, remote cruising, new build projects, and teams of up to 13 crew. His Master 3000GT license, problem-solving mindset, and guest-first approach give every Bahamas itinerary a reassuring sense of control and ease. Supporting him are First Officer O’Brien Greyling, a calm and determined professional who has worked with Captain Dev across three programs, and Chief Engineer João “Jo” Pereira, whose hands-on technical skill and upbeat personality keep the yacht running smoothly while guests simply enjoy the view.

Adventure in the Bahamas feels effortless with Bosun Jessica “Jess” Willem managing the deck with skill, energy, and attention to safety. As tender captain, Jess thrives in fast-paced water-based settings and brings a wakeboarding background that makes her an excellent guide for guests who want to dive into the fun. Alongside O’Brien, a competitive swimmer and keen watersports enthusiast, the crew creates a secure and exciting environment where every swim, tender outing, and water toy session feels organized, lively, and full of confidence.

Savor every moment at the table with Chef Joshua Urdang, a cheerful South African chef whose culinary journey includes top restaurants such as La Colombe, Pier, Waterside, Jan Franshoek, KleinJan, and Chef's Warehouse, plus experience in a Michelin-starred establishment in Nice. His award-winning talent in baking, food and wine pairing, and vegetarian cuisine brings variety and imagination to your Bahamas dining experience. With Chief Stewardess Emelie Steinwall leading the interior with warmth, hotel management experience, and exceptional attention to detail, supported by Stewardess Elsheva “Ellie” van Dyk and her creative, adaptable energy, AWAY becomes a floating haven where guests feel cared for from morning coffee to evening cocktails.

Overview:
There is a gentle thrill in getting carried AWAY through the Bahamas, where this Sanlorenzo SD122 luxury motor yacht becomes your base for quality time, blue-water freedom, and laughter-filled days with loved ones. From the balmy waters of the Bahamas to the sunlit Exumas coastlines, every view invites you to settle deeper into the moment and enjoy a vacation shaped by comfort, connection, and play. Her premium collection of water toys brings movement and excitement to each anchorage, making the breathtaking landscapes feel even more alive from the sea.

The sundeck quickly becomes the heartbeat of your day, complete with a lounge, bar area, and jacuzzi where cocktails taste better with the Bahamas shimmering around you. When evening arrives, the sky deck hosts a 5-star menu beneath the Bahamian sunset, with a huge lobster taking center stage and turning dinner into a celebration of the islands. The foredeck sets a softer morning rhythm with its cushioned sunbathing area and astounding vistas of the Exumas, while the main aft deck lounge becomes the place for slow afternoons with a book, afternoon tea, and the comfort of open-air stillness.

Move inside and AWAY welcomes you into an interior that feels polished, modern, and full of relaxed character, with premium tones that echo the yacht’s nautical essence from the main saloon to the sky lounge. Both decks are natural settings for onboard celebrations, whether you are gathering in the main saloon’s dining area beside the huge LED TV or easing into the sky lounge with its own LED TV and office space overlooking the sky deck aft’s open lounge. Lustrous wood finishes add depth to her fun contemporary interior, giving every room a sense of warmth and personality.

When the day winds down, 5 comfortable staterooms with crisp hotel linens and ensuite bathrooms offer a restful return after sunshine, swimming, and island exploring. The master cabin enhances the experience with a king bed, huge LED TV, office space for quiet business catch-ups, vanity area, and premium ensuite bathroom. In Eleuthera, more water activities bring the sea into focus, with the toys available onboard ready for fun and Shroud Cay’s high-tide mangrove route revealing a living world of diverse marine creatures.
