About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht KOJU
KOJU is a Benetti Motopanfilo completed in 2022, accommodating 10 guests across 5 thoughtfully appointed cabins. Her restrained modern profile conceals one of her finest assets: an intimate observation deck that becomes the natural gathering place throughout your charter, whether for morning coffee or evening aperitifs as the light shifts across the sea.
Captain Nick Battaglia commands a crew of eight whose combined expertise spans three decades of Caribbean cruising. With USCG Master 1600/3000 Oceans certification and over 3,000 days at sea, Nick leads a team including First Officer Nicole Bellamy, Bosun Jacob Sirowitz, and Chief Engineer Guillaume De Nicola. Each brings technical precision to navigation, deck operations, and vessel management, creating the conditions for a charter that unfolds without friction.
Chef Cecil Laville shapes the rhythm of life aboard through his globally inflected French training. His menus balance technical precision with genuine discovery, drawing on fresh provisions sourced at each port. Chief Stewardess Dakota Dance and her team ensure service feels attentive without becoming intrusive, preserving that rare quality of comfort paired with genuine ease.

The Charter Experience
The Bahamas and Leeward Islands reveal themselves at your own pace from KOJU's decks. Days anchor in the crystalline shallows of the Exumas, where coral gardens sit in impossibly clear water. Others drift toward Eleuthera's quieter shores or nestle into hidden coves where the rhythm slows entirely. The yacht's size and crew expertise mean you move between anchorages with complete fluidity, discovering each destination on your own terms rather than following a predetermined route.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day charter typically departs Nassau into the Exumas, where shallow anchorages and protected reefs define the first days. By mid-week, passage toward Eleuthera brings a shift in scenery and the option to explore quieter settlements and secluded beaches. The final days often return westward, with time spent in favourite coves or revisiting preferred anchorages. Throughout, the crew guides but never dictates, leaving room for spontaneity and your own discoveries.
