High season $22,700/wk

Yacht Description

Easy eight, actually. DOLCE VITA is a 48-foot Dufour sailing catamaran delivered in 2023, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 cabins. Three queens plus a twin, and each cabin has its own en-suite.

Water time is simple. An aft swim platform with boarding ladder and deck shower means you can rotate between swims and lounging without turning the cockpit into a dripping mess. Full air conditioning helps when you want a reset indoors.

Better-than-average toys. A Snuba/Hooka tankless diving system lets up to three guests breathe underwater without scuba certifications. Add two seascooters, plus snorkel gear and floating mats, and the “just one more dip” problem is basically guaranteed.

Stay connected, or don’t. Onboard Wi‑Fi and an indoor audio/multimedia system keep downtime easy, while the BBQ handles the low-effort, high-reward lunches. There’s even yoga onboard. Quietly ambitious.

Magical Bahama Experience - From TripAdvisor Review

Absolutely incredible experience! Five stars all the way!

From the moment we booked the trip with our agent Nick everything was smooth sailing. Nick guidance on trip selection and the crew's preparation tips made all the difference. Captain Gabriel and Chef Paige were amazing hosts, and we felt welcomed right away. The itinerary was perfect, and we were exploring hidden coves and snorkeling in crystal-clear water within hours of arriving.

Waking up surrounded by those stunning islands and enjoying Chef Page's delicious breakfasts was a dream come true. We loved every minute of exploring, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun. The crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having fun – they truly made the trip unforgettable.

Thanks again for everything, Nick Paige and Gabriel! We can't wait to book our next adventurew.

Bahamas with the BEST CREW - 15 out of 10!!!

Y'all, these folks are the WAY TO GO! When we started looking with very short notice, the gentleman we spoke with worked non-stop to get us with the closest set-up to what we needed. We originally were trying to get on a power-catamaran, but there were none available in our requested price range in the Bahamas. But Jeremy Snider worked through an evening and most of a day to match us with a sail catamaran that would get the job done, and we are so thankful he did!
We were set up with the most incredible Captain and Chef - Louis and Tersia. I've never met such kind and accommodating people from the moment they sent a welcome letter through the entire trip. They were in constant contact asking any of our preferences and special requests and doing everything in their power to make it all happen. And her meals - 15 OUT OF 10! Above and beyond what we were expecting...from the taste to the presentation, every bite we took was delicious! She even made us a Thanksgiving dinner- AND they helped us set a projector up for the Thanksgiving football games! Ps- I've never had turkey so moist and perfectly cooked. Ever.
Capitan Louis kept us informed and asked our opinions on the itinerary, taking any of our must-do-excursions in mind. We encountered great weather, so we've been lucky there, but I'm sure there was a large part that the captain took into consideration to keep us comfortable and safe.
Long-winded story short, do everything you can to make it happen with this crew. They make you feel like royalty while being a part of the family with you. I'll never forget this trip!

First Exumas Charter

The crew was wonderful. Captain Martin was really good with the boys. The chef was excellent and very kind to my kids. We were very happy with everything. We had a great time and the service was wonderful. The islands are further apart, so you spend a lot more time moving. The winds were low for most of our trip, which meant little sailing and also made it hot as hell.
