TAHINA

TAHINA is a 2008 St. Francis sailing catamaran made for relaxed Bahamas cruising—classic, spacious, and wonderfully easygoing. Her inviting layout is centered around comfortable island living, with a cozy salon settee for morning coffee and games, a shaded cockpit for alfresco dining and sunset toasts, and an outdoor cockpit shower for refreshing after a swim before settling back in with turquoise-water views.

Accommodating up to 6 guests, TAHINA offers 2 forward queen cabins with beds measuring approximately 5’ x 6’8”, plus 1 aft cabin with a bed measuring 5’ x 6’ and an additional Pullman berth measuring approximately 2’4½” x 6’. Each cabin has a private ensuite. The two forward ensuites include separate showers, while the aft ensuite features a wet-head shower arrangement. Full A/C keeps the yacht comfortable whenever needed. With a dedicated captain and chef taking care of the details, TAHINA offers a comfortable, carefree way to explore the Bahamas.

Crew accommodations are in the starboard double cabin.

From $20,900 / week

TAHINA

I will never stop gushing about how wonderful our charter was! Each day was tailored perfectly to our group, the food was phenomenal, the accommodations were comfortable, the sea life was so cool, and you cannot imagine the shades of blue water that we got to see. The whole trip was simply magical. Jason and Lara were the perfect hosts, adventure guides, and bartenders at the end of the day 😉. Do yourself a favor, go ahead and book the trip with these guys and have the best week of your entire life!
