About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht INDY
INDY is a refined Hatteras 85 motor yacht built to balance active exploration with genuine relaxation. Her refitted interiors and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces create an effortless charter environment for groups seeking both engagement and downtime. The saloon provides generous light-filled seating for gathering or retreating, while the flybridge commands panoramic views of passing coastlines and island anchorages.
Outdoor living is central to INDY's appeal. The aft alfresco dining area serves as the natural social hub for sunset meals and group moments, while the bow's expansive cushioned bronzing area offers uninterrupted water views and sun exposure. These spaces work together to create varied ways of spending each day without feeling confined.

Suggested Itinerary
Summer cruising from Old Saybrook explores Connecticut's coastal charm, Martha's Vineyard's protected anchorages, and Nantucket's refined harbours, with days shaped around local dining, gentle exploration, and on-water recreation. Winter repositioning to the Bahamas opens island-hopping opportunities through the Exumas, warm anchorages at Shroud Cay, and the vibrant marine environments of Eleuthera. Your crew adapts the weekly plan to your preference for adventure, relaxation, culinary focus, or a blend of all three.
