TANZANITE | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Your Bahamian escape aboard TANZANITE is shaped by Captain Brook Bennett, whose nearly three decades on the water bring confidence and calm to every mile of your journey. Having explored the world by yacht since 1995 and completed ten Panama Canal transits, Brook pairs technical expertise with a welcoming leadership style, ensuring your itinerary reflects your interests and unfolds with ease. Supporting him on deck is Mate Daniel “Dean” Bethel, a seventh-generation Bahamian who brings local insight, strong seamanship, and years of experience on vessels up to 312 feet.

Culinary enjoyment is at the heart of your charter with Chef Cameron Duffy, whose background includes everything from the Master's at Augusta National to Michelin-level influence. His flavorful creations, from Southern comfort classics to refined coastal cuisine, turn every meal into a highlight of your day. Inside, Chief Stewardess Jeanine Bennett leads the interior with warmth and professionalism, while Stewardess Paige Wessel adds thoughtful touches, polished service, and signature cocktails that elevate each moment. Their seamless hospitality ensures the atmosphere remains inviting, relaxed, and cared for from morning to evening.

Rounding out TANZANITE’s eight-member crew are Engineer Matt Quidato, whose technical skill keeps the yacht running impeccably, and Deckhand Jordan Nelson, who brings enthusiasm to water activities, tender runs, and on-deck operations. Together, the crew delivers a charter experience defined by teamwork, comfort, and genuine hospitality as you explore the unforgettable waters of the Bahamas.

Overview:
The Westship 145 luxury crewed motor yacht TANZANITE greets you with a timeless white exterior that reflects the softness of the Bahamian sun. Beneath her elegant lines lies the strength of a powerful engine that delivers smooth, uninterrupted cruising across vivid turquoise seas. Onboard, her thoughtfully curated amenities and artistic living spaces offer an inspiring balance of comfort, entertainment, and pure enjoyment throughout your charter.

Your days unfold beautifully on her aft deck, where alfresco dining becomes a highlight against the backdrop of the stunning Exumas. As dawn arrives, the foredeck lounge offers the perfect vantage point to savor Bahamian breakfast favorites while waves gently lap the hull. Later, the sundeck invites you into its panoramic embrace with luxurious features that include a relaxing jacuzzi, sunbeds, a bar, and a TV lounge, all providing a serene escape overlooking the emerald inlets of Shroud Cay.

TANZANITE’s interior design brings contemporary warmth to every corner. The main saloon and indoor dining area create a welcoming hub for celebrations, conversations, and quiet moments between adventures. When the mood calls for a change, the sky lounge offers an elevated retreat complete with a bar, plush seating, and a TV lounge framed by the glow of natural light streaming through large windows. Her 5 king cabins pair modern style with white soft fabrics and private marble bathrooms, curating restful environments for rejuvenation.

Add a dose of discovery with a trip to Eleuthera, where water toys help you interact with vibrant wildlife in crystal-clear waters. Then drift into the peaceful mangrove trails of Shroud Cay, an untouched sanctuary where graceful turtles, curious rays, and darting barracudas accompany your final hours on the water.
