About Crewed Power Catamaran SOUTHERN SKY
SOUTHERN SKY is a Leopard 51 power catamaran built for discerning guests seeking unhurried exploration of the Bahamian archipelago. Her three queen cabins accommodate up to six guests in composed comfort, whilst her catamaran hull delivers the stability and shallow-draft capability essential for island hopping between Nassau, Staniel Cay, and the Exumas. The design prioritises both performance and livability, with generous deck space that invites you to linger over morning coffee or evening drinks as anchorages shift beneath the horizon.
Your experience unfolds under the direction of Captain Anthony Fouché, whose Yachtmaster certification and command experience aboard luxury vessels ensures seamless navigation and well-considered passage planning. Chef and Mate Milé Uys anchors the onboard rhythm, crafting menus that blend global influences with local Bahamian ingredients, and orchestrating the kind of intuitive hospitality that anticipates your needs without intrusion. Together, this two-person crew creates the conditions for a charter that feels neither hurried nor contrived, but naturally convivial.
Each day aboard SOUTHERN SKY is yours to shape. Whether your priorities centre on culinary discovery, underwater exploration, or simply the privilege of uninterrupted time with close companions, the yacht and crew adapt to your rhythm. The Bahamas' vivid waters, protected anchorages, and island culture become your backdrop, experienced at a pace that rewards both activity and repose.

The Charter Experience
A week aboard SOUTHERN SKY transports you beyond the conventional tourist circuit. Departing from Nassau, your itinerary unfolds with genuine flexibility, allowing Captain Fouché to respond to conditions, your interests, and the islands themselves. Morning swims in crystalline shallows, afternoon passages under fair skies, and dinners prepared by Milé as the sun descends over the water create the cadence of authentic island life. The Exumas' secluded cays and anchorages reward those willing to venture beyond the crowded mooring fields, whilst Staniel Cay and the surrounding islands offer both natural beauty and the occasional moment of convivial encounter with fellow cruisers. This is the Bahamas experienced not as a destination to tick off, but as a living geography to inhabit, however briefly.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter might commence in Nassau, with passages south toward the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park and its celebrated swimming pigs, followed by unhurried days anchored off Staniel Cay, Thunderball Grotto, and Compass Cay. The itinerary remains responsive to your preferences and sea conditions, with Captain Fouché selecting the day's passage length and anchorage based on your appetite for exploration or repose. Evening dining, whether ashore or aboard, becomes a focal point of the day, anchored by Milé's thoughtful cooking and the easy company of a crew genuinely invested in your journey.
