Picture an easy morning departure, a calm horizon, and a crew that simply makes the Bahamas feel seamless, you will be guided by an energetic crew of 7 led by Captain Chad Harlan, who will give you a momentous charter experience on I LOVE THIS BOAT while exploring the best anchorages in the Bahamas. Captain Chad’s USCG 200/500-ton Master’s credential, STCW certification, and PADI Rescue Diver ticket reflect a command style rooted in safety, preparedness, and smooth decision-making. With the technical knowledge of First Officer Justin Brink, Engineer Steve Gondusky, and Deckhand Christie Baldi by his side, guests enjoy the confidence of a team trained to manage navigation, onboard systems, deck operations, and tender activities with consistent professionalism.

Food on board is an experience of its own, thanks to Chef Ximena “Mena” Olds, who designs bespoke menus that feel tailored to how you want to live in the Bahamas. With over 12 years of elite culinary experience and international training from Thailand to Bali, Vietnam, Spain, France, and the UK, Mena brings a rare blend of fine-dining creativity and lifestyle-aligned, nutrient-forward cuisine. Her beautifully plated courses, calm efficiency, and ability to adapt to preferences and dietary needs make each dining experience feel effortless, whether you want bright, refreshing flavors by day or elegant courses as the evening settles in.

Service is delivered with warmth and polish by Chief Stew Nadia Fourie and Second Stewardess Zoe Hughes, who keep the onboard atmosphere comfortable, tidy, and genuinely welcoming. Nadia’s background in somatology and her experience working at sea shape a service style that feels soothing and attentive, while Zoe’s passion for cuisines and cultures adds a thoughtful, guest-focused touch. Together, they create the kind of easy comfort that lets you enjoy the Bahamas fully, from morning coffee to late-night conversations.
