What makes a great charter yacht?

It’s a question I’ve been asking charter brokers for many years. But the truth is the answers are almost always the same. Sure, brokers always talk about the types of water toys a yacht features. And the size and number of cabins. But in the end, nothing is more important than the crew.

And that’s exactly what Denison Charter Manager Allison Cecilio had to say when we started talking about STAY SALTY, the 135-foot-long Horizon she manages in the Bahamas. In fact, it was the first thing she mentioned.

“I just spent some time aboard during the Bahamas Charter Show and I can tell you the crew is top-notch,” she said. “I mean, I can’t say enough amazing things about the crew. I love that they are more ‘organic and farm-to-table’ than ‘party yacht’, which makes them pretty special.”

“There’s more of a ‘wellness’ feeling on board,” she adds. “They teach yoga. They have the Peloton bike, and a treadmill. They’re a young, energetic crew, who are all about the healthy lifestyle. You just get a calm vibe on the boat the second you walk on.”

And now that STAY SALTY has just emerged from a comprehensive refit, the yacht’s bright and contemporary interior, light wood paneling and joinery, and neutrally toned furnishings in luxurious fabrics and soft leathers are pretty special, too.

It can also easily accommodate up to 12 guests in six staterooms. The master suite on the upper deck has a private lounge, hisand-hers ensuite bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, and a walk-in dressing room. The VIP stateroom is on the main deck, while the remaining three staterooms, including one double and two twins, are on the lower deck.

Meanwhile, STAY SALTY’s expansive decks provide lots of space for sunbathing, entertaining, and relaxing. The main aft deck features a shaded dining table for ten, a barbecue, and a widescreen TV. The upper deck offers a comfortable lounge area for lazy mornings or afternoon cocktails, while the sundeck boasts fantastic views, a raised Jacuzzi, sun loungers, a bar, and an alfresco dining area.

And, oh yeah, STAY SALTY has all the water toys that make chartering in the Bahamas so much fun. When it comes time to explore the Bahamas-blue water when you arrive in a remote anchorage, the crew can easily take guests out on the 34-foot-long Jupiter tender and 17-foot-long RIB. The awesome water toys include jet skis, Seabobs, and water skis, if you want to enjoy an active holiday, and plenty of other toys and rafts if you’re looking for a more relaxed day on the water. And better still, the thoughtful crew will make sure your time aboard is unforgettable no matter what you choose to do.
