ESCAPE | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

The moment ESCAPE points toward the blue heart of the Bahamas, her crew of 5 brings the kind of confidence that lets guests fully relax into the journey. Captain David “Dave” Erickson leads with more than 47 years at sea, backed by his USCG 1600T/3000T Near Coastal Master Captain license, USCG 200/500 ITC Ton Captain Master, Advanced Fire Fighting, GMDSS, Radar Observation Unlimited, Bridge Resource Management, STCW95, and PADI Rescue Diver certification. With Engineer Nick Overbeek and Deckhand Arthur Colaljo supporting him, guests are cared for by a team with deep technical knowledge, marine mechanics experience, electrical expertise, and a shared focus on keeping every Bahamas passage smooth, safe, and stress-free.

Every dining moment becomes part of the escape thanks to Chef Biggie Dodson, whose farm-to-table style brings freshness, comfort, and global flavor to the yacht. With more than 10 years of culinary experience across restaurants, private yachts, and charter yachts, she creates menus that can beautifully accommodate vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, keto, kosher, and international preferences. Chief Stewardess Kelly Sampson adds the polish around every plate and every pause, bringing her background in yacht service, event hosting, wine and mixology, food service, silver service, and hospitality to make the onboard atmosphere feel warm, organized, and beautifully cared for.

This is the kind of crew that turns a Bahamas charter into something effortless from sunrise to the final drink of the evening. Captain Dave brings calm command, Nick keeps the yacht running with dependable precision, Arthur adds decades of maritime experience and a sincere desire to make life onboard feel easy, Biggie makes dining a daily highlight, and Kelly brings the service together with grace and detail. Together, they make ESCAPE feel like a private Bahamas retreat where guests can trust the team, enjoy the food, have fun on the water, and completely let go.

Overview:
ESCAPE brings a polished yet easygoing spirit to Bahamas cruising, pairing the classic beauty of a 34-meter Hatteras luxury motor yacht with the comfort guests expect from a high-end charter. Her timeless white hull and graceful lines feel right at home against the crystal-clear water, giving the yacht a bright and inviting presence. Built around social gatherings, entertainment, and full relaxation, she offers a flexible onboard lifestyle for guests who want their days to flow naturally. Her stylish interiors add warmth and character, creating a refined setting without losing the relaxed charm of the islands.

The aft deck invites guests into the kind of dining scene that feels made for the Bahamas, with an alfresco table ready for seafood under the stars and the peaceful Exumas as the backdrop. Breakfast can bring the islands to the table with traditional Bahamian favorites like Souse and Stewed Conch, creating a flavorful start before the day opens wide. On the expansive flybridge, cushioned seating and sweeping views of Paradise Island make every cocktail hour feel special, especially with a chilled Piña Colada in hand. It is where sunshine, sea breeze, and scenery come together without needing anything extra.

Her saloon welcomes guests with rich wood accents, soft lighting, and a comfortable layout that encourages gathering after time outdoors. The adjoining indoor dining area offers another setting for meals, conversations, and celebrations, giving guests a graceful alternative to the open decks. Each stateroom is finished with private en-suite bathrooms, high-end linens, and teak details, creating a restful space that feels calm after a day of activity. The interior flow supports both shared moments and quiet retreat, which is exactly what a well-paced charter needs.

In Eleuthera, ESCAPE turns the sea into part of the experience through her wide selection of water toys. Guests can explore vibrant marine life, enjoy active time in the water, or use the tender to reach the winding mangroves of Shroud Cay. As the tender moves through the channels, sea turtles, rays, and barracudas may appear in the clear water, adding a sense of discovery to the day. The charter ends with the feeling that ESCAPE has shown the Bahamas from every angle, on deck, indoors, and out on the water.
