PENJA | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

As PENJA eases away from the dock and points toward the Bahamian islands, Captain Kyle Strydom and his crew of 4 quietly set the tone for a charter that feels both adventurous and reassuring. Kyle’s 14-plus years of yachting experience, paired with his love for fishing, diving, and watersports, make him an engaging guide to these waters as well as a dependable captain. He knows where to find clear lagoons, playful tidal sandbars, and calm overnight anchorages that suit your comfort level and interests. With Chief Steward/ess Angela Bester, Stewardess Megan Mcarthy, and Deckhand Edmund Graupner handling service and operations, you can relax knowing each day has been thoughtfully prepared.

Culinary experiences on PENJA mirror the balance of refinement and ease that defines the rest of the charter. Angela works hand in hand with the galley to shape bespoke menus that could range from light, fresh lunches between snorkel sessions to more indulgent dinners celebrating a special evening at anchor. Her background across multiple global cruising destinations gives her a sharp sense of what discerning guests appreciate, while Megan, with her warm hospitality and approachable style, makes each service feel friendly and unforced. Against a backdrop of Bahamian turquoise and soft trade winds, every meal feels like a highlight.

Outside structured moments, the PENJA crew focuses on giving you the freedom to enjoy the Bahamas exactly as you wish. Edmund’s technical skill and love for the ocean come through in the way he manages deck duties and water activities, helping guests in and out of the water, looking after toys, and keeping the yacht running smoothly behind the scenes. Inside, Angela and Megan create a quietly luxurious environment, with thoughtful touches that make cabins, lounges, and decks feel perfectly prepared whenever you return from the sea. Together, under Captain Kyle’s leadership, they deliver a Bahamian charter that feels polished, personal, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.

Overview:
There is a certain excitement in watching PENJA push away from the dock, her teal-toned reflection dancing on the Bahamian water as the Azimut Grande 32m moves effortlessly into open sea. Built with a cutting-edge, sporty exterior and powerful engines, she turns each passage into a smooth, quiet transition between island scenes. On board, generous volumes and carefully planned social zones offer the perfect balance of energy and calm, giving you spaces designed for conversation, play, and pure rest.

Your introduction to life outside often begins on the aft deck, where the crew stages a seafood-focused dinner under the open sky while you are anchored off one of the remarkable islands in the Exumas. Freshly prepared plates arrive as the sun sinks and the water reflects streaks of gold and coral around the hull. Mornings unfold at a more leisurely pace on the foredeck lounge, with Bahamian Souse, Stewed Conch, and coffee setting the tone before you stretch out on the sunbathing area to watch the day fully arrive. Later, the flybridge reveals a sweeping view of Paradise Island, and the plush seating around the bar invites unhurried hours with a Piña Colada in hand. As the temperature rises, the jacuzzi becomes your favorite place to cool down with a Mojito, and the elegant beach club beckons for quiet moments at water level before you slip into the sea to swim among curious fish.

Step indoors, and PENJA’s interior feels like a thoughtfully composed escape from the elements. The saloon glows with subtle lighting and soft textures, providing a refined backdrop for pre-dinner cocktails, relaxed movie nights, or private celebrations. The indoor dining area allows for more formal or climate-controlled meals without losing the sense of connection to the surroundings, thanks to large windows framing the water outside. It is a space that can shift seamlessly from relaxed to elevated depending on your mood.

At the end of each day, her cabins invite you into a world of calming color and texture, with teak detailing and white fabrics that feel both modern and warm. Every cabin includes a private bathroom, ensuring that each guest has their own retreat, while the master suite elevates the experience with a king bed, marble ensuite, and golden accents that softly light the space.

When you are ready for more, PENJA carries you toward Eleuthera, where water toys bring you close to thriving marine life, and to Shroud Cay, where a tender ride through the mangroves at high tide reveals turtles, rays, and barracudas gliding through the channels beneath the hull.
