NAYA MARYN | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

The best Bahamas charters feel effortless, and on NAYA MARYN, that ease comes from a crew that genuinely loves bringing joy to their guests. Captain Frank Waters, an American from Southern California, leads with a calm, organized approach backed by decades of real-world experience throughout the East Coast, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. He graduated with honors from Pepperdine Law School and has lived full-time aboard large yachts in South Florida for the last 23 years, bringing a steady, safety-focused confidence that lets you fully relax as the islands unfold.

Chef Stuart Anthony makes dining onboard a daily highlight, building each menu from a deep foundation and an adventurous range of cuisines. He grew up on a farm and learned early to value fresh ingredients, then trained through a culinary apprenticeship under classically trained chefs from Italy, France, and Germany. His career includes acclaimed restaurants in Southern California and Florida, including Hemingway’s Restaurant in Newport Beach, the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel, and venues in Key West and Fort Lauderdale, with recognition connected to Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, Gastronomica, and Cooks Illustrated, and he comfortably accommodates vegan, vegetarian, kosher, lactose intolerant, and gluten free requests.

Chief Stewardess Tina Waters and First Mate Alex Siegars bring the final layer of comfort and adventure to your Bahamas itinerary. Tina and Captain Frank have worked together for over 23 years on various yachts, and she pairs her passion for the ocean with attentive guest care shaped by over 20 years in yachting and a Communication degree from California State University-Long Beach. Alex, born in North Carolina and descended from a family of seafarers, spent years guiding climbing and hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway before the ocean called him back, and today he adds six years of yachting experience plus PADI Divemaster and personal training skills to help guests dive, explore, and enjoy every day.

Overview:
A first glance at the Horizon 94 luxury motor yacht NAYA MARYN reveals a confident presence shaped by clean lines, a crisp white profile, and contemporary detailing that feels both relaxed and refined. Designed for effortless cruising through the luminous turquoise waters of the Bahamas, she balances performance with comfort, creating an atmosphere where every moment feels considered, whether you are sharing laughter with friends or slipping away to unwind in privacy.

Life on board flows naturally outdoors, beginning in the aft alfresco dining area where evenings are best spent enjoying freshly prepared seafood beneath a starlit sky while anchored near the islands of the Exumas. Mornings bring a distinctly local touch as a traditional Bahamian breakfast is served on the foredeck lounge, featuring favorites such as Souse and stewed Conch. As the day unfolds, the flybridge becomes a favorite gathering spot, offering open views over Shroud Cay, comfortable lounging, and handcrafted piña coladas enjoyed in the warm sea breeze.

Step inside to discover an open-plan interior where modern elegance meets thoughtful functionality, allowing guests to move easily between social spaces. The sunlit saloon and stylish indoor dining area set the scene for celebratory evenings with the onboard karaoke system and laser light show, as well as quieter moments spent reconnecting. Each cabin is a private retreat, complete with en-suite bathrooms, teak accents, and soft off-white linens that create a calm and welcoming atmosphere after a day on the water.

Adventure waits just beyond the swim platform as you dive into the clear waters surrounding Eleuthera, where colorful marine life brings the seascape to life. For exploration closer to shore, the tender and jet skis open access to the winding mangrove creeks of Shroud Cay, offering close encounters with turtles, rays, and barracudas that turn each outing into a memorable highlight.
