BLUE TIME | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

There is a certain magic when a crew knows how to make a yacht feel both exciting and completely relaxed, and BLUE TIME’s crew of 7 brings exactly that to the Bahamas. Captain David Gies leads with over 20 years of yachting experience, extensive charter cruising behind him, and a safety-first mindset wrapped in an easy-going personality that makes guests feel instantly at home. Together with First Mate Sam Spruill, Deckhand Nick Vincent, and Engineer Jose Torres, he creates a charter rhythm where the tender is ready, the toys are waiting, the route feels seamless, and every day flows without guests needing to think about a thing.

Chef Paul “Apollo” Craddock makes dining feel like one of the main reasons to stay onboard a little longer. With training in Switzerland, vibrant culinary experience in Mexico, and seven years of inspiration gathered across Asia, he brings global flavor into meals that feel joyful, balanced, and full of life. After a morning in the water or a golden afternoon in the Bahamas, his dishes become the kind of moments guests talk about over another glass, another laugh, and another perfect view.

The hospitality onboard is where BLUE TIME gets its extra heartbeat, led by Chief Stewardess Michelle Horton and Second Stewardess Nikilee Truong. Michelle’s Ritz Carlton, Bacara experience and client-service background show in the way each detail feels naturally anticipated, while Nikilee’s love for crafting signature cocktails gives the yacht a lively, social energy. Add Sam’s outdoorsy spirit, Nick’s passion for adventure, and Jose’s maritime engineering degree and decade of experience, and guests get a Bahamas charter that feels safe without being serious, polished without being stiff, and fun without ever feeling chaotic.

Overview:
From the first flash of sunlight across her hull, BLUE TIME feels made for the Bahamas, bold enough to chase open water and refined enough to make every quiet moment feel special. This Westport 130 motor yacht pairs a sleek and dynamic exterior with a smooth cruising experience across turquoise seas, allowing guests to enjoy the thrill of movement without sacrificing comfort. Her state-of-the-art amenities create a floating playground for socializing, relaxation, and recreation, so one guest can be stretched out under the sun while another is already planning the next swim, cocktail, or water toy session.

The aft deck invites you to slow down and taste the islands properly, especially when the yacht is anchored near the breathtaking cays of the Exumas and a seafood-themed dinner begins under the soft evening light. At daybreak, the foredeck lounge becomes a Bahamian breakfast spot with real local character, serving Souse and Stewed Conch as the morning breeze rolls across the bow. When the day warms, the sun deck draws everyone upward for panoramic views of Paradise Island, plush seating, and a freshly crafted Piña Colada, before the jacuzzi becomes the place to linger with your favorite Mojito while the horizon glows in every shade of blue.

Step inside and BLUE TIME gives you space to breathe, gather, and completely reset between island adventures. The luminous saloon feels bright and welcoming, creating an easy setting for laughter, drinks, and relaxed indoor lounging, while the elegant dining area brings a refined rhythm to onboard meals and celebrations. Her cabins, all with private en-suite bathrooms, blend teak accents and soft off-white fabrics to create a peaceful retreat where guests can recharge in comfort before another day of Bahamian discovery begins.

Eleuthera brings out the playful side of the charter, where the water activities feel less like add-ons and more like part of the destination’s heartbeat. Launch the water toys, follow the color of the sea, and let the Bahamas reveal itself through movement, splashes, and close encounters with marine life. By tender, the mangroves of Shroud Cay become a natural maze of clear channels, where sea turtles surface near the roots, rays drift over pale sand, and barracudas cut through the stillness, turning the day into a living postcard you actually get to step inside.
