About Bareboat Catamaran SAPPHIRE SEAS
SAPPHIRE SEAS is a Lagoon 51 catamaran built in 2024, offering six double cabins ideal for family groups and larger parties seeking bareboat independence across the Bahamas. Her dual-hull design delivers exceptional stability and shallow-draft performance, allowing you to anchor in the crystalline cays where monohulls cannot venture. The open-plan layout combines bright saloons with panoramic sightlines, while air conditioning, a full galley with oven and microwave, and VHF/autopilot systems ensure both comfort and control.
The Lagoon 51 excels at balancing performance under sail with the relaxed pacing of island cruising. Whether you're an experienced bareboat skipper or opting to hire one locally, this catamaran responds to both deliberate ocean passages and leisurely day-sails between anchorages. Her twin hulls provide the stability that transforms lounging on the aft decks from pleasant to genuinely restorative, whilst her rig delivers responsive handling across the range of Bahamian trade winds.

The Charter Experience
Departing from Marsh Harbor in the Abacos, you command a vessel designed for discovery. The Bahamas' 700-plus islands present an evolving calendar of possibilities: drift over the turquoise shallows of the Exuma Cays, drop anchor at Compass Cay to encounter nurse sharks, or chart a course toward the pink-sand beaches and understated charm of Harbour Island. Kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing gear are available to enhance your days, while the catamaran's shallow draft unlocks anchorages that offer genuine seclusion. Each evening, you return to a climate-controlled cabin and galley equipped for simple provisioning, granting the freedom that bareboat charters uniquely afford.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week from Marsh Harbor might unfold as follows: sail south toward the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park on day one, anchoring in calm protected water; spend days two and three island-hopping between White Cay, Compass Cay, and Thunderball Grotto, interspersing snorkelling and exploration; cruise eastward toward Harbour Island and Spanish Wells on day four, enjoying the gentler swell and trade winds; dedicate days five and six to the northern cays and beaches, or return toward familiar anchorages if sea state favours shelter; finally, retrace toward Marsh Harbor on day seven, allowing a buffer for variable conditions and spontaneous detours that bareboat cruising invites.
