About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht ISLAND HEIRESS
ISLAND HEIRESS is a Cheoy Lee motor yacht built for guests who value composed, purposeful cruising. Her sporty modern hull cuts through turquoise waters with remarkable ease, eliminating the fuss of transitions and maximising time spent anchored in the Bahamas' most coveted bays. Every deck works intuitively for real charter living: the foredeck lounge invites quiet mornings, the aft deck transforms into an alfresco dining venue as evening falls, and the sundeck commands unobstructed views across the Exumas.
Accommodation spans 6 cabins configured with a king bed, three queen beds, four singles, and two Pullman berths, comfortably sleeping 12 guests. The layout encourages both privacy and connection, with shared spaces designed to flow naturally between social gatherings and peaceful solitude.
Your experience is stewarded by a 10-person crew led by Captain John Gaffley, whose 18 years navigating Bahamian waters ensure every anchorage, route, and activity unfolds seamlessly. Chef Brenda Pommells orchestrates memorable meals drawing on Caribbean ingredients and global techniques refined through culinary training in New York and Thailand, whilst Chief Stewardess Remy Eggers and her team attend to every detail of hospitality.

The Charter Experience
Charter ISLAND HEIRESS through the Bahamas and beyond into the Leeward Islands, where calm anchorages and crystalline water reward purposeful cruising. Cast off from Nassau and drift toward the Exumas' quieter settlements, or venture further to the Virgin Islands and lesser-explored cays. Your itinerary responds to your preferences: underwater exploration one day, culinary discovery the next, and long sunlit hours whenever the mood calls for stillness. The crew coordinates activities and dining around your rhythms, crafting a week that feels curated without constraint.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day voyage typically departs Nassau toward the Exumas, anchoring in quiet bays ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Days balance active exploration with unhurried moments; evenings anchor in protected waters where the crew prepares fresh seafood dinners on the aft deck. The flexibility allows you to linger longer in favoured anchorages or venture toward the Leeward Islands, depending on weather and preference.
