Serenity - Crewed Power Catamaran Charter

Embarking on a sailboat trip with Captain Yves in the Bahamas was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a wealth of knowledge about the islands. Captain Yves skillfully navigated us through crystal-clear waters, taking us to hidden coves and pristine beaches that we could have only dreamed of. The trip was not just about the destination but the journey itself, filled with laughter, adventure, and moments of pure bliss as we sailed under the Caribbean sun. Additionally, Captain Yves played a special role in our journey by officiating our wedding ceremony on one of the most gorgeous islands. His heartfelt words and serene backdrop of the Bahamian seas and sunset made our union even more magical and memorable. We´re forever grateful for the extraordinary memories created on our trip in the Bahamas. It was truly an unparalleled adventure that will remain etched in our hearts forever

I´ve done two amazing trips with Captain Yves, and the only way I would do this again, would be with Captain Yves. He is the star of the show and the reason why we had such a blast. We watched him fish for our food and listened to amazing stories. He was always of the theory that we could do what we wanted on the boat, his lips were always sealed, so we felt like we had total privacy to just be us. He is super knowledgeable about the areas we sail, a true lover of the ocean, and he is just a really nice, happy-go-lucky, positive man that brings the party wherever we go.

I would love to do trip #3 with him at some point, soon.

Flashback to the TRIP of a LIFETIME!
(The world shutdown due to COVID a few days after we got back).

Captain Kerouac took our dream vacation to the NEXT level for us with his enthusiasm, passion, knowledge, skill and pure joie de vivre! This trip was perfection from start to finish and we found a friend in Captain Yves. He was just incredible and even officiated our friends’ wedding. We would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone … but only if Captain Yves is at the helm!

“Captain David takes extra special care of his guests and crew on board. David is always willing to teach us along the way whether it’s about sailing, safety, spear fishing, sharing knowledge about the islands, water, marine life, culture… and the list goes on. He is an extremely patient person and is great with kids and adults. He is a good man, who genuinely cares about the people he is around and the ocean/environment he is sailing on.”

What an unbelievable week in the Bahamas! This trip for exceeding our expectation, the food, the adventures, the new friends. Truly – you two outdid yourselves! We feel so lucky to have been the recipients of your hospitality. I am quite sure we will be talking about the exquisite meals, the beautiful hikes, the many snorkels, the games, the dinghy rides, for many years to come! Hope to see you both again soon! Anne and Jason

Thank you for this incredible week on Serenity. Our incredible Captain David led us to explore colorful corals, sea turtles, fish, and also gave us the courage to swim with sharks! Chef Monica meals were extraordinary. Dion showed us his singing and dancing talent (Bob Marley) during our onboard karaoke night. - Alexandre and Marc-Antoine

When you imagine a “dream” vacation, you dream Big…you imagine perfection and hope that you come close. We surpassed perfection. This vessel was glorious and the crew was superb. They made every day an adventure and every evening Roxanne welcomed us with culinary “love”. By the end of the week, we have left our hears on board and cannot wait to return to collect them. - The Spurling Family

This trip has been above and beyond anything we have ever dreamt from the perfect boat, crew … everything was perfect. Thank you for sharing your sweet Serenity! - John & Niki Chambers
