I LOVE THIS BOAT | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

I LOVE THIS BOAT is brought to life in the Bahamas by a dedicated crew of 7 led by Captain Chad Harlan, whose sea-tested background gives guests immediate confidence as the yacht moves through clear island waters. With his USCG 200/500-ton Master’s credential, STCW certification, PADI Rescue Diver ticket, and long record across respected charter yachts, Captain Chad makes each day feel steady, well planned, and easy to enjoy. First Officer Matt Slusarczyk adds deck skill, a 200-ton Master license, advanced open-water scuba training, and fishing energy, while Engineer Steve Gondusky brings 25 years at sea, marine systems engineering experience, ABYC certifications, and advanced safety credentials to keep the yacht ready behind the scenes.

Chef Adrian Rodriguez Gonzalez sets the tone for memorable dining with a culinary background that stretches from Veracruz to London, Valencia, Naples, and the yachting world. His menus can move from Mediterranean flavors to high-quality sushi, wellness-focused dishes, and creative adaptations for gluten-free, vegan, or other guest preferences, making every table feel tailored rather than routine. Chief Stewardess Rebecca “Becca” Olivier McClymont brings polished service, mixology, bartending, wine knowledge, and a heartfelt hosting style, while Second Stewardess Samantha “Sam” Childs supports the interior with food hygiene training, charter experience, and a calm warmth that makes guests feel connected and comfortable.

What guests will remember most is how easily this crew turns skill into comfort. Captain Chad keeps the journey safe and beautifully paced, Matt brings action and fishing stories to the deck, Steve keeps every system running, and Deckhand Will Jennings supports the exterior with tender handling, fishing experience, First Aid and CPR training, and strong seamanship. Adrian brings joy to the table, Becca makes every detail feel intentional, and Sam adds a relaxed hospitality touch that makes the yacht feel personal. In the Bahamas, this crew gives guests the confidence to dive in, slow down, eat well, laugh often, and fully enjoy the charter without worrying about a thing.
