Guest Review - Jan 4, 2026
Dec 2025 / Jan 2026
Thank you for an amazing week together in the Exumas. The food, the drinks, the snorkeling, the sandbars – everything was spectacular! Highlights included “iguana” sandwiches, shell-hunting on sandbars, giant rays and sharkies, pirate Graham’s special cocktail presentation, maybe one too many cocktails, New Year’s Eve celebrations, Tequila Tuesday, eFoil crashes, wishes in the magic tree and a pig-free experience!
We had an amazing week as a family thanks to your gracious hospitality and it was a pleasure to spend time with both of you. We are not sure who will fix our broken cocktail glass when we get home! You are the hardest working and best crew and this was our favorite charter by a mile! Wishing you a wonderful 2026.
Thank you!

Charter Guest, May 2025
We had a fantastic time. The crew was terrific and very attentive to our needs. The captain adapted to the weather conditions, and the food was delicious and expertly prepared.
As you know, we recently purchased a yacht, and this was also an information gathering experience for our personal use and future chartering. The crew gave us all sorts of good insight.
Also, my leg did surprisingly well, and I was able to enjoy my experience!
Thank you for putting this all together!

Client Review: Princess Mila (11.25 .2023 -11.28.2023)
Thank you to the Princess Mila team! From the onset of our journey we are embraced with outstanding hospitality and a commitment to ensuring the most memorable experience for our charter. And, wow, did they deliver!
Each day unfolded with enchanting locations - picture private beaches, sandbanks and abundant snorkeling opportunities. Its challenging to articulate the beauty of what we saw, savored, and encountered, words wouldn't do it justice.
Captain Reinhard and his exceptional team exuded professionalism making us feel secure and well, informed throughout. ruby, with her culinary expertise, treated us to incredible meals and cocktails, adding in that extra sparkle to our trip.
Thank so much for an unforgettable adventure!
With Love - Manha & Viraj

Chené, Ruby & Reiny, Thank you for your warm hospitality and all of the wonderful meals and cocktails. Smooth sailing and follow high seas! The BEST CREW!
Charter Guest, January 2025
Spent the most incredible time in the Exuma’s with great friends and I’m still soaking up the memories. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets with island hopping adventures. We snorkeled, swam alongside friendly nurse sharks, and went to Pigs Beach where the adorable swimming pigs stole our hearts. Celebrated Scott Fisher’s birthday in style at Xuma’s Restaurant and Bar at Highbourne Cay. Fresh seafood, drinks always in hand and floating in the most surreal shades of blue.
I am so grateful for this unforgettable adventure and the amazing friends who made it even more special.
A huge shout out to Capt. Andrew, Xena and Xander. They made sure every part of our adventure was fun and absolutely unforgettable. Thank you for everything! Hope to see you again someda

What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.

Thank you for an amazing week together in the Exumas. The food, the drinks, the snorkeling, the sandbars – everything was spectacular! Highlights included “iguana” sandwiches, shell-hunting on sandbars, giant rays and sharkies, pirate Graham’s special cocktail presentation, maybe one too many cocktails, New Year’s Eve celebrations, Tequila Tuesday, eFoil crashes, wishes in the magic tree and a pig-free experience!
We had an amazing week as a family thanks to your gracious hospitality and it was a pleasure to spend time with both of you. We are not sure who will fix our broken cocktail glass when we get home! You are the hardest working and best crew and this was our favorite charter by a mile! Wishing you a wonderful 2026.
Thank you!

Charter Guest, May 2025
We had a fantastic time. The crew was terrific and very attentive to our needs. The captain adapted to the weather conditions, and the food was delicious and expertly prepared.
As you know, we recently purchased a yacht, and this was also an information gathering experience for our personal use and future chartering. The crew gave us all sorts of good insight.
Also, my leg did surprisingly well, and I was able to enjoy my experience!
Thank you for putting this all together!

Client Review: Princess Mila (11.25 .2023 -11.28.2023)
Thank you to the Princess Mila team! From the onset of our journey we are embraced with outstanding hospitality and a commitment to ensuring the most memorable experience for our charter. And, wow, did they deliver!
Each day unfolded with enchanting locations - picture private beaches, sandbanks and abundant snorkeling opportunities. Its challenging to articulate the beauty of what we saw, savored, and encountered, words wouldn't do it justice.
Captain Reinhard and his exceptional team exuded professionalism making us feel secure and well, informed throughout. ruby, with her culinary expertise, treated us to incredible meals and cocktails, adding in that extra sparkle to our trip.
Thank so much for an unforgettable adventure!
With Love - Manha & Viraj

Chené, Ruby & Reiny, Thank you for your warm hospitality and all of the wonderful meals and cocktails. Smooth sailing and follow high seas! The BEST CREW!
Charter Guest, January 2025
Spent the most incredible time in the Exuma’s with great friends and I’m still soaking up the memories. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets with island hopping adventures. We snorkeled, swam alongside friendly nurse sharks, and went to Pigs Beach where the adorable swimming pigs stole our hearts. Celebrated Scott Fisher’s birthday in style at Xuma’s Restaurant and Bar at Highbourne Cay. Fresh seafood, drinks always in hand and floating in the most surreal shades of blue.
I am so grateful for this unforgettable adventure and the amazing friends who made it even more special.
A huge shout out to Capt. Andrew, Xena and Xander. They made sure every part of our adventure was fun and absolutely unforgettable. Thank you for everything! Hope to see you again someda

What are "Med Rates" or "Med Terms?"
Med Term pricing is cost (cost of the boat) + VAT (country tax) + APA (operating and provisioning expenses). The cost is the weekly rate for the charter. The VAT and APA are calculated on the cost of the boat and paid in addition to that base price. The APA covers: fuel, water, food, licenses, alcohol, and any specific items you would like provided to you. APA money that is not used for provisioning would be reimbursed to you- or, if you spend over the amount, they would charge you. The Captain keeps track of expenses and would let you know if you’re reaching your APA limit. This is the industry standard for the region.
Caribbean Terms or Caribbean Inclusions refer to all-inclusive rates. These boats are typically catamarans and monohulls and are found in the Caribbean.
Most (but not all) motor-yachts and sailing vessels in the Med are Med Rate terms.
The yachts featured on our website will specifically state which type of pricing they offer.
