AZURE | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Days in the Bahamas take on a different kind of ease when Captain Matt Novak is leading the journey aboard AZURE. Backed by more than a decade of experience and respected qualifications, including USCG, IYT, and MCA certifications, he brings the kind of calm judgment that helps guests feel completely at ease from the start. For you, that means a charter shaped by confident decision-making, smooth cruising between islands, and the reassurance that every anchorage, route, and change of plan is handled with care. Beside him, Mate Johlene Jo Kruger, Chef April Coyle, and Chief Stewardess Ellen Martins bring their own strengths together beautifully, shaping a charter that feels safe, warm, and genuinely exciting.

One of the pleasures of being aboard AZURE is discovering what April has planned for the table each day. With hospitality training and certifications in food hygiene, first aid, and safety, she brings care and creativity to every dining experience, giving guests the confidence to simply relax and enjoy each meal. That extra layer of training matters onboard because it supports thoughtful menu planning, careful handling of dietary needs, and an overall dining experience that feels both personal and well looked after. Her menus feel colorful, generous, and tailored to the people she is cooking for, with influences ranging from Mediterranean and Italian to Asian, French, American, and Indian cuisine, bringing added pleasure to long, sun-filled days in the Bahamas.

All around you, Ellen and Jo help create the kind of onboard rhythm that makes it easy to fully let go. Ellen, who holds Yachtmaster Coastal and other maritime certifications, brings a polished, capable presence that helps everything run smoothly, while Jo’s Yachtmaster license, advanced safety training, and medical first aid background add confidence to every outing and activity. For guests, that means tender rides, water toy sessions, and time on deck all feel more relaxed because they are supported by a crew who know how to stay prepared, attentive, and in control behind the scenes. Together, they help guests feel looked after without effort, creating a stay that feels both relaxed and alive with possibility. With this crew of four, AZURE offers more than a charter in the Bahamas; it offers the kind of experience that makes guests want to return before the trip is even over.

Overview:
AZURE introduces a spirited approach to Bahamas cruising, where bold design meets a relaxed island rhythm. The Maiora 26’s dynamic exterior and smooth performance create a sense of momentum from the first day, while her carefully considered amenities support connection, play, and downtime in equal measure. Every space onboard feels purposeful, inviting guests to enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

Evenings naturally gravitate to the aft deck, where alfresco dining sets the stage for seafood dinners enjoyed at anchor among the peaceful islands of the Exumas. As mornings arrive, the foredeck lounge welcomes guests with a Bahamian breakfast, complete with Souse and Stewed Conch served beneath open skies. Later, the flybridge reveals sweeping views over Paradise Island, inviting relaxed conversations, comfortable lounging, and tropical cocktails shared with family and friends.

Step inside and discover an interior designed for effortless enjoyment. The luminous saloon flows seamlessly into the indoor dining area, creating a setting that works just as beautifully for lively gatherings as it does for quiet evenings. The accommodations continue this sense of ease, blending privacy, comfort, and thoughtful design to make every guest feel settled from the start.

The full-beam primary suite, tucked below the aft deck, feels especially calm and private, with a king-size bed, generous storage, a vanity area, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Forward, the VIP stateroom offers a bright and spacious retreat with a queen-size bed, dual closets, and its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. A twin stateroom with two twin beds completes the layout, also featuring an en-suite bathroom with a shower, while warm teak accents and soft fabrics bring a welcoming finish to every cabin.

The experience continues beyond the yacht in the waters of Eleuthera, where days are shaped by exploration and play. Use the onboard water toys to immerse yourself in crystal-clear surroundings, then head to Shroud Cay by tender through winding mangroves where teeming marine life appears just beneath the surface.
