INDY | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Coastal mornings in New England and bright afternoons in the Bahamas feel effortless aboard INDY, led by Captain Paul Warner and an energetic crew of 3. Paul’s extensive navigation and charter experience along the US East Coast and the Bahamas is reinforced by his background as a professionally trained maritime engineer, giving him a strong, hands-on approach to safe, reliable yacht operations. He also loves bringing guests out on tender excursions, adding a personal touch to each day’s plan. With the technical knowledge of Mate/Engineer Andrew Ventres and Chef Jim Ruch by his side, the charter runs with calm confidence.

Expect a culinary program from Chef Jim that feels intentional, varied, and guest-led. He brings more than 20 years of expertise from top restaurant kitchens, luxury yachts, and private cooking for high-net-worth individuals, allowing him to deliver refined dining that still feels relaxed. With formal training in Tokyo, Bangkok, London, and New York and strengths in classical European and Asian cuisines, he tailors each menu to your preferences and the pace of the day.

On deck and behind the scenes, Andrew keeps things running smoothly with a steady, practical mindset shaped by years around Long Island Sound and the Connecticut River. He has spent the last four years as a full-time professional crew member and is dedicated to providing a safe, fun, memorable experience aboard INDY. Together, this crew makes INDY feel polished and reassuring, whether you are enjoying New England’s coastal charm or the Bahamas’ warm-water ease.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in New England and the Bahamas:
Coastal charm sets the tone as you step aboard the Hatteras 85 luxury crewed motor yacht INDY in Old Saybrook to begin your seven-day exclusive New England yachting itinerary. From the first day, the region invites you into a blend of breezy harbors, crisp sea air, and beautifully paced days that can lean toward adventure, sun-filled relaxation, culinary-focused stops, or a little of everything. To shape the week around exactly what you want, the Boatbookings team will work closely with your crew and fine-tune the details, keeping each day smooth and memorable.

When winter arrives, INDY shifts to the Bahamas, where island-hopping in the Exumas, warm sunshine in Shroud Cay, and the vibrant marine life of Eleuthera offer a completely different pace, giving you another reason to plan the next escape.

Overview:
Imagine a yacht that feels sporty and refined at the same time, and you have INDY, the Hatteras 85 luxury crewed motor yacht designed to keep every day lively, comfortable, and easy to enjoy. Her sleek exterior sets a modern tone, and her refitted, state-of-the-art facilities for socializing, recreation, and relaxation create a charter setup that works beautifully for groups who want both fun and downtime in the same week.

The outdoor lifestyle starts at the aft alfresco dining area, a natural gathering spot for local cuisine enjoyed together as the sky turns softer at sunset, while anchored off Nantucket. When you want pure sun time, move forward to the bow’s large cushioned bronzing area and settle in with the blue horizon stretching ahead. For panoramic scenery and a change of perspective, the flybridge is ready with a seating area and sun beds, where views of Martha’s Vineyard feel wide open and wonderfully breezy.

Inside, the saloon offers a spacious, light-filled retreat, with long cushioned seating perfect for conversation, quiet reading, or simply watching the scenery through large glass windows. Natural light and fresh air flow in, keeping the space bright and comfortable, while teak design elements add a warm, homey feel. After a day of jam-packed activities, the pace slows naturally as you step into one of four luxurious cabins with private ensuite facilities, giving each guest the comfort and privacy to reset for tomorrow.

When it is time to close out the itinerary, Maine brings a delicious finish, especially if you want to experience lobster and blueberry pies at their best. For a more spontaneous day, hop into the dinghy onboard and explore nearby shoreline pockets and calm water routes without needing a plan. You will leave with a full mix of highlights, from dining moments to quiet coastal discoveries.
