Step on board a luxury crewed motor yacht and embark on a 7-day adventure into the idyllic string of subtropical islands that make up Eleuthera. The Bahamas include over 700 islands, making it a place to discover over a lifetime of visits, according to Lenny Kravitz. Many islands are uninhabited and boast pristine beaches, warm seas in every shade of blue, and a kaleidoscope of quaint towns ripe for exploring. Over the course of 7 days, you will hop between desert cays and awe-inspiring coves, all from the comfort of your luxury crewed motor yacht. Acting as your private floating villa for your Bahamian birthday celebration or tropical honeymoon escape, it will move swiftly between anchorages and open doors to desolate bays only accessible by yacht.
While you ease into the rhythm of island life, your dedicated captain and crew will work seamlessly to meet your every need and desire. Your seasoned captain's local knowledge of the region makes him privy to the most exclusive anchorages where large groups of tourists are nowhere in sight. Take advantage of the calm bays at Governor's Harbour and use every water toy in your yacht's arsenal. As evening falls, the aft deck of your yacht becomes an intimate dining sanctuary, backdropped by the sun sinking behind Rose Island and turning every meal into a celebration of fresh ingredients and local culture.
