Yacht Description
Water time, sorted. ESCAPE is a 114ft Hatteras motor yacht with a deck jacuzzi and a toy line-up that actually gets used: WaveRunners, towables, waterskis, wakeboard, kneeboard, snorkeling gear, and fishing equipment. Add a proper beach set-up and you can rotate between “on the water” and “doing nothing” without negotiation.
Big tender energy. Two tenders keep the day moving, including an 18' Novurania, plus a 31' Jupiter tender listed for fast runs and easy beach logistics. Quick hop off, quick hop back. Repeat.
Eight guests, four cabins. She sleeps 8 in 4 suites: a primary with a king, two queen cabins, and a twin. Simple layout, no weird math.
Refit matters. Built in 1996 and refit in 2023, ESCAPE has an elegant, inviting main salon with large windows for natural light, plus Wi-Fi and air conditioning for the hours when you want to be offline, but not unreachable.
