ISLAND HEIRESS | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Every unforgettable charter begins with a capable captain, and aboard ISLAND HEIRESS, you will be guided by an energetic crew of 10 led by Captain John Gaffley, who will give you a momentous charter experience while exploring the best anchorages in the Bahamas. With over 18 years in the yachting industry and extensive time navigating the Bahamian islands, Captain John ensures every route, anchorage, and activity is carefully managed. With the technical knowledge of First Officer James Stevens, Chief Engineer Cornel Miu, and Deckhands Will O'Neil, Johannes “Janco” Vermaak, and Sierra Hind by his side, the yacht operates with a level of expertise that allows guests to relax and enjoy the surroundings fully.

From the galley comes a steady stream of memorable dining experiences prepared by Chef Brenda Pommells. Growing up in Belize and refining her skills through culinary studies in New York and Thailand, Brenda blends global techniques with Caribbean influences to create menus that feel both exciting and comforting. Fresh seafood, international specialties, and personalized dishes bring a sense of discovery to every meal enjoyed while cruising through the Bahamas.

Guests are warmly welcomed and attentively cared for by Chief Stewardess Remy Eggers, along with Stewardesses Raiza “Alejandra” Arrietta Barrios and Loura “Heleen” Jooste. Their hospitality experience ensures that every space on board feels inviting, every table is beautifully presented, and every moment of your Bahamas charter is accompanied by thoughtful service.

Overview:
In the Bahamas, the best charters feel effortless, and ISLAND HEIRESS is built to deliver exactly that, starting with her sporty, modern design and the power to keep cruising smooth across turquoise water. The ride feels composed even when you cover ground, giving you more time to enjoy the islands and less time worrying about transitions. Throughout the yacht, you will find spaces designed for how guests actually live on charter: social, active, and relaxed, often all at once. Every deck invites you to linger, recharge, and enjoy the Bahamas in a way that feels curated but never forced.

Evenings naturally gravitate to the aft deck, where an alfresco dining area turns anchoring in the Exumas into a scene you will want to replay. A seafood-themed dinner tastes better with salt in the air and the water glowing beside you, and the setup is perfect for lingering conversations that stretch long past dessert. Early the next day, the foredeck lounge becomes your quiet spot for horizon-watching and slow starts. When the sun climbs, make your way to the sundeck and take in sweeping views toward Paradise Island while you relax with loved ones on the plush lounge and sunbathing area. Between dips in the jacuzzi and a freshly concocted Piña Colada at the bar area, the day takes on a carefree rhythm, with a Mojito ready for the moment the heat peaks.

Step inside and the interior feels bright, calm, and ready for celebration, with a radiant saloon and indoor dining area that work beautifully for parties and relaxed gatherings alike. The spaces are inviting without feeling formal, so you can move easily from a lively evening to a quiet late-night chat with the air-conditioning keeping everything comfortable. Her luxurious cabins are designed for real rest, each with a private bathroom that keeps mornings simple and evenings unhurried. Light teak walls and soft white fabrics create a clean, homey atmosphere that helps you switch off quickly and wake up ready for another full day.

Once you arrive in Eleuthera, the Bahamas becomes your playground, and the water toys on board make it easy to get out and experience the islands up close. The shallows invite you to explore, float, and spend hours in the water without ever feeling rushed. For something truly memorable, catch the high tide at Shroud Cay and take the tender through the mangroves, gliding quietly past turtles, rays, and barracudas in their natural habitat. You come back to the yacht feeling like you have seen a side of the Bahamas that most people never reach.

The use of all personal watercraft, including jet skis, is permitted only if the operator holds the appropriate license and complies with local operating regulations.
