About Crewed Motor Yacht NEXT CHAPTER
NEXT CHAPTER is a Hargrave 97 RPH purpose-built for discerning cruisers seeking privacy and sophistication across the Bahamas. Her modern white hull, refined teak saloon, and recently refitted cabins accommodate eight guests in genuine comfort. The yacht's generous proportions afford multiple entertaining spaces, from the elegant aft deck overlooking anchorages to a full-width flybridge perfect for sunset observation.
Four cabins sleep up to eight: two doubles with king and queen berths, two twins with single bunks. Each features an ensuite bathroom with white marble countertops and natural wood joinery. The interior balances formal dining and casual relaxation, whilst the teak-finished saloon provides an intimate gathering space insulated from the heat and glare of deck.
A five-person crew, led by an experienced Captain, manages all aspects of your voyage. They excel at menu planning (Bahamian breakfast traditions, fresh seafood dinners alfresco), route customization around your interests, and seamless water-sports facilitation. The crew understands Exuma National Park's subtleties, tidal conditions at Shroud Cay, and where to find pristine snorkeling grounds away from congestion.

The Charter Experience
Charter NEXT CHAPTER to move through turquoise Exuma anchorages at your own pace. Begin days with local Souse and stewed Conch prepared onboard. Afternoons divide between cushioned flybridge lounging, alfresco dining on the aft deck, and water-based exploration. A 32-foot Intrepid tender plus WaveRunners, transparent kayaks, Sea Bobs, and Bote paddleboards enable both adrenaline pursuits and tranquil mangrove navigation. Evening finds you anchored in crystalline waters, the crew preparing dinner whilst marine life congregates beneath the hull. This is cruising without compromise—your schedule, your menus, your preferred blend of action and repose.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day sample voyage departs Nassau, exploring Exuma's protected anchorages and Shroud Cay's tidal channels by tender. Days alternate between active pursuits—snorkelling coral heads, diving shipwrecks, paddleboarding through mangroves—and leisure moments aboard. Eleuthera's vibrant marine life (sea turtles, rays, colourful reef fish) rewards both casual swimmers and serious divers. Evenings return to secure anchorages where the crew's dinners and the yacht's stable platform transform dining into an unhurried affair.
