SWEET ESCAPE | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Your Charter Crew:
Days aboard SWEET ESCAPE are brought to life by an 8-person crew led by Captain Greig Robert Lloyd, a South African captain with Master 500gt and Master 350gt credentials and a clear passion for creating charters that feel personal and memorable. His calm leadership gives guests the freedom to relax in the Bahamas, whether the day begins in Nassau, drifts through the Exumas, or settles into a peaceful anchorage near Staniel Cay. Alongside Chief Officer Johannes Jay Gideon Huisamen, Engineer Derik Antonio Vilas, Deckhand / Engineer Chase Watts Trollope, and Deckhand / Steward Ryan Kleynhans, Captain Greig is supported by a team focused on safety, smooth movement, and easygoing enjoyment.

At the heart of the onboard lifestyle is Chef Mario Barnard, whose culinary creativity adds excitement to each day aboard SWEET ESCAPE. His background as a restaurant founder and inventive chef gives guests a dining experience that feels fresh, expressive, and made for sharing after long hours in the Bahamas sun. Chief Stewardess Michelle Cronje brings polished hospitality, award-recognized service, and a gift for creating memorable guest moments, while Stewardess Ash-Lynn Nel adds cheerful, attentive care that makes the yacht feel welcoming, relaxed, and beautifully looked after.

Together, the crew creates the kind of charter where everything feels taken care of before you even need to ask. Captain Greig brings trust and direction, Jay helps shape memorable Exumas experiences, Derik provides the hidden confidence of a smoothly run yacht, Chase adds deck skill and hospitality polish, Ryan brings adaptable support across the guest experience, Michelle leads the interior with refined service, Ash-Lynn keeps the mood light and comfortable, and Chef Mario makes every table gathering a highlight. With this team aboard SWEET ESCAPE, the Bahamas feels easier, richer, safer, and more enjoyable from the first cruise to the last toast.

Overview:
SWEET ESCAPE brings guests into the Bahamas with the timeless appeal of a Christensen 130 luxury motor yacht and the relaxed spirit of a yacht built for fun. Her full 2022 refit enhances her classic elegance and casual sophistication, creating a setting that feels polished, comfortable, and ready for long days on the water. She is well-suited for families, couples, or groups of friends who want space to unwind and plenty of activities to enjoy. With a total crew of 8, the experience feels well-supported from the first morning onboard to the final sunset.

Across her exterior decks, every guest can find a place to gather, retreat, dine, or stretch out beneath the Bahamas sun. The main aft deck includes an alfresco dining area for twelve, a full wet bar, an entertainment unit, underwater lights, walk-around decks to the bow, starboard-side access to the swim platform, and the option to enclose the area with Eisenglass. The Portuguese bridge creates a more private sunset setting with semi-circular seating, while the sun deck offers optional shade, settee seating, sunpads, and a large Jacuzzi for up to 8 people. On the bridge deck aft, guests can enjoy full sun exposure, optional sun shade sails, an alfresco dining space for 10, chaise lounges, and access to both the sun deck and the Portuguese bridge.

When it is time to come indoors, SWEET ESCAPE offers warm, stylish spaces made for easy conversation and comfortable downtime. Her large main salon features ample seating, a game table for four, and a full entertainment system with Bose surround sound, with the formal dining area adjacent and arranged around a rectangular table for ten. The skylounge, located on the bridge deck, becomes a social hideaway with cozy seating, a full bar, stool seating for five, and beautiful views.

Accommodations welcome up to twelve guests in six beautifully-appointed staterooms, including a full-beam Master stateroom with a king-size bed, his and hers en suite with Jacuzzi and steam shower, an On-Deck VIP stateroom with a king bed and en suite with stall shower, a full-beam Lower Deck VIP stateroom with a walk-around king bed and en suite with oversized shower, two Convertible King/Twin staterooms with en suites, and a Guest stateroom with a single bed and adjacent bunk bed that shares a bathroom with the port side Convertible stateroom.

Toward Eleuthera, the charter can shift into a more playful rhythm with SWEET ESCAPE’s impressive collection of tenders, water toys, and sea-based activities. Guests can chase adrenaline on the water, enjoy slower surface adventures, explore below the waterline, or simply cool off between sun-drenched moments onboard. In Shroud Cay, catching the high tide and tendering through the mangroves offers a quieter kind of thrill, with chances to spot turtles, rays, and barracudas. It leaves guests with the feeling of having explored the Bahamas from every angle, above, below, and right at the waterline.
