About Luxury Crewed Catamaran MOTEK
The Catana Bali 5.4 MOTEK is a 2023 catamaran built for relaxed, sophisticated cruising across the Bahamas and Caribbean. Her modern design and dual-hull stability create an elegant floating platform where ten guests enjoy genuine comfort without pretence. The five double cabins accommodate families and groups with ease, whilst the expansive deck spaces—both forward and aft—invite long days spent watching turquoise waters and pristine anchorages unfold.
Captain Francisco and Chef Marlyn form the heart of life aboard. Francisco brings over a decade of maritime experience across cruise ships, sailing vessels, and motorboats, paired with a photojournalist's eye for capturing the moments that matter. Marlyn's kitchen philosophy centres on fresh, island-inspired cuisine, where each meal reflects the rhythm of the Caribbean itself. Together, they orchestrate a charter where attentive service feels entirely natural.
Whether you anchor off Staniel Cay's turquoise shallows, drift through the Exuma Cays, or explore quieter islets, MOTEK's shallow draft and catamaran platform offer access to remote anchorages beyond the reach of larger vessels. Winter months see her based in the British Virgin Islands, extending cruises into the Leeward and Windward islands for those seeking fresh horizons.

The Charter Experience
A week aboard MOTEK unfolds with the ease of a place where every detail has been considered. Morning swims in crystalline water, leisurely lunches prepared to your preference, and evenings watching light soften over the horizon—each experience connects you directly to the sea without demanding anything of you. The catamaran's stability means you spend more time swimming and exploring, less time feeling the motion. Reef adventures, beach days, and polished dining blend into a rhythm that feels effortless, whether you seek activity or stillness.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter begins in Nassau and flows eastward through the Exuma Cays, where stops might include Thunderball Grotto, the swimming pigs of Pig Beach, and the secluded anchorages of the Berries. By midweek, you may drift toward the Leeward Islands in winter, or remain based in the Bahamas for longer explorations of Elizabeth Harbour and the shallow banks that define the archipelago's character. Each day balances structured exploration with unscheduled freedom—reef dives appear when conditions align, beach lunches happen where the water calls you, and quiet anchorages reward those who simply want to be.
