About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht TANZANITE

TANZANITE is a Westship 145 motor yacht grounded in understated elegance and proven capability. Her timeless hull combines classical lines with the engineering integrity needed for confident cruising across the Bahamas and Southeast Florida. Five king-bedded cabins accommodate ten guests with private comfort, while her aft deck, foredeck lounge, and sundeck provide distinct spaces for morning coffee, alfresco dining, and evening relaxation with panoramic views.

What elevates TANZANITE beyond the ordinary is her crew of eight professionals who transform logistics into genuine hospitality. Captain Brook Bennett brings nearly three decades at sea and ten Panama Canal transits; Chef Cameron Duffy draws on Michelin-level experience to craft refined coastal cuisine and Southern classics; Chief Stewardess Jeanine Bennett and her team maintain an atmosphere that feels personal rather than procedural. Mate Dean Bethel, a seventh-generation Bahamian, pairs deep local knowledge with strong seamanship, whilst Engineer Matt Quidato ensures mechanical reliability and Deckhand Jordan Nelson handles water activities with infectious professionalism.

Your days flow between curated exploration and purposeful relaxation. Slip into turquoise anchorages between island discoveries, dive coral reefs teeming with life, and walk powder-white beaches. Return to TANZANITE for gourmet lunch on deck, afternoon cocktails at the sundeck bar, and sunsets that shift from amber to violet. The jacuzzi, tender, and personalised itinerary planning mean every moment serves your interests, not a template.

The Charter Experience

A week aboard TANZANITE unfolds as a curated exploration of the Bahamas, anchored by a crew whose expertise and warmth set the rhythm. Begin in Nassau and venture toward the Exumas, where secluded bays and coral gardens reveal themselves on your schedule. Swim, snorkel, and tender-run to uninhabited cays while the galley prepares lunch. Evenings return you to polished service, multi-course dining that surprises, and a sundeck atmosphere of genuine ease. The blend of technical mastery, culinary ambition, and attentive service means comfort never requires compromise.

Suggested Itinerary

A seven-day charter typically departs Nassau toward the Exumas, anchoring at secluded bays where clear waters invite swimming and snorkelling. Tender expeditions to powder-white beaches and coral gardens fill mornings; afternoon swims and sundeck relaxation punctuate the rhythm. Evening arrivals at new anchorages precede gourmet dinners on deck under star-filled skies. The itinerary shifts daily to reflect wind, weather, and your preferences, ensuring each destination reveals itself at leisure rather than by schedule.
