KOJU | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Your Charter Crew:
A charter aboard KOJU in the Bahamas is shaped by an energetic crew of 8 led by Captain Nick Battaglia, whose experience, certifications, and calm approach create a strong sense of trust from the moment you step aboard. With a USCG Master 1600/3000 Oceans license, an ISM/DPA auditors certificate, and well over 3,000 days at sea, Nick knows how to deliver a charter that feels smooth, safe, and deeply enjoyable. He is joined by First Officer Nicole Bellamy, Bosun Jacob Sirowitz, and Chief Engineer Guillaume De Nicola, a capable trio whose skills in navigation, deck operations, maintenance, and engineering support help ensure every part of your Bahamas journey unfolds with ease.

The food experience aboard KOJU is every bit as memorable as the destinations, thanks to Chef Cecil Laville and his expressive, globally inspired cooking style. Rooted in French training and enriched by travel, his menus reflect both technical care and a love for discovery, bringing freshness and variety to every meal. Whether you are easing into the morning with breakfast on deck or gathering for a beautifully prepared dinner after exploring the Bahamas, his cuisine adds richness and pleasure to the charter in all the right ways.

Completing the experience is Chief Stewardess Dakota Dance, whose long-standing hospitality background and years in yachting are felt in the smooth, attentive service she provides. Alongside Stewardesses Hanna Sikoza and Jasmine Lockhart, she creates an onboard atmosphere that feels polished, comfortable, and genuinely guest-focused throughout the day. Their warm professionalism helps make KOJU feel not only beautifully run, but also wonderfully easy to enjoy in the Bahamas.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the Bahamas:
The first chapter of your Bahamas escape opens in Nassau, where the Benetti Motopanfilo 37m KOJU awaits for a seven-day Bahamas yachting itinerary unlike any other. From the start, the week invites you to choose your own rhythm, perhaps spending one day exploring vibrant coral gardens, another enjoying the stillness of a secluded beach, and another lingering over gourmet dishes prepared on board. With the guidance of the Boatbookings team, each detail is thoughtfully customized so the charter reflects exactly how you want to experience the islands.

Cruising across the Bahamas aboard KOJU reveals a destination full of contrast and character, where the Exumas sparkle with impossibly clear anchorages, Eleuthera brings color and culture, and hidden coves offer long, quiet moments away from everything else. The beauty of the journey lies in how naturally one memorable setting leads to the next, with the yacht providing comfort and ease throughout. What lingers long after the final day is the sense of having moved through these islands in complete freedom, with each stop offering something new to admire.

Overview:
The Benetti Motopanfilo 37m KOJU draws attention with her sleek profile, but it is the way she lets guests experience the Bahamas that makes her especially memorable. Her intimate cocoon-style observation deck quickly becomes one of the most coveted spots on board, whether you are starting the morning with coffee as the light falls over Eleuthera or winding down with a drink after a day between islands. It is a beautifully private corner for taking in the changing colors of the sea, the quiet of the horizon, and those slow, unhurried moments that make time on board feel so rewarding.

Life outdoors is where KOJU feels particularly well-suited to the Bahamian lifestyle. She welcomes up to 10 guests across expansive deck spaces designed for long hours in the sun, easy afternoons with friends, and peaceful moments by the water. Her Hamptons-style beach club with retractable canopy creates a comfortable base for relaxed lounging, whether anchored off the sandbanks near Shroud Cay or enjoying a slower afternoon after swimming in clear shallows. Up on the foredeck, the swimming pool and plush loungers invite guests to stretch out in privacy, while her advanced stabilizers ensure comfort remains consistent both underway and at anchor, making each cruise between destinations feel smooth and settled.

KOJU's interior balances warmth and sophistication with a layout that feels social yet serene. Sliding glass doors create a natural connection between the elegant main deck lounge and the outdoor aft cockpit lounge, allowing conversations, cocktails, and the sea breeze to move easily through the space. Her full-beam, on-deck master suite is filled with natural light from expansive panoramic windows, offering a restful retreat after days spent exploring the Bahamas, whether that means a lively lunch stop in Staniel Cay or a more laid-back day of beach-hopping and coastal cruising.

For guests who like their charter with a stronger sense of adventure, KOJU’s garage opens the door to a superb lineup of water toys ready for action in some of the Bahamas’ most exciting cruising grounds. Spend the morning gliding through the mangroves of Shroud Cay, anchor near Staniel Cay for a playful afternoon on the water, or enjoy the clearer, calmer rhythm of Eleuthera with time split between exploration and pure relaxation. Aboard KOJU, the lifestyle feels wonderfully balanced, with equal space for discovery, comfort, and those easy moments in between that guests remember long after the charter ends.
