Yacht Description
Six guests, three cabins. PANDORA is set up for an easy six on board, with three suites and en-suite facilities. Small group charter, without the small-boat compromises.
Refit keeps it current. Built in 2001 by Alliaura Marine Group and refit in 2022, she is a straightforward, modernized platform for a week of swimming, eating, and repeating. No drama. Just comfort.
Water time is the point. Snorkeling gear, kayaks, paddleboards, and floating mats make it simple to get everyone off the boat and into the day. Add big game fishing gear when you want a mission, not just a float.
Simple, livable comforts. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, an indoor audio system, and a TV saloon cover downtime, while the BBQ and outdoor shower handle the “back from the water” routine without queueing for a bathroom.

Charter Reviews
Amazing Experience
If you are contemplating a non-traditional (vs regular resort or rental) vacation in the Bahamas, Pandora with Capt. Sean is absolute perfection. From booking through check out, Capt. Sean is top notch. His professionalism is evident everywhere as he is not only a skilled mariner, but also coffee barista, chef, water taxi driver, concierge, dive master, author, mechanic, Sherpa, Iron Man and so much more. Our family is very familiar with the Bahamas and Sean made sure to adjust the itinerary as needed. Pandora is incredibly well provisioned and we lacked absolutely nothing on this vacation. The fact that Pandora is a motor- catamaran makes island-to-island travel fast and efficient. We can not speak highly enough about this experience and if 10 stars were available, that would be our rating. Book your stay NOW. Honestly, Sean might well be the coolest person we have ever met and that is not an exaggeration (and we know lots of awesome people).
We are not related to him in any manner. The only bummer was he doesn't sell his book on the boat and he told us there are only 3 copies left so I have to scour eBay for a signed book.

If you're looking for an adventure that challenges the elements while offering you an authentic and memorable experience, then a Bahamas cruise with Sean is exactly what you need. Recently, we had the pleasure of having such an adventure, and despite the capricious weather conditions, our boat stay remains unforgettable, mainly thanks to our great Sean!
The latter has been able to give us a safe, warm and rewarding experience. Its reassuring presence, constant availability, attention to detail, and these qualities of cooking have transformed this trip into a memorable experience.
Thank you Sean, thank you to the "dinghy" Sami and marries the lucky ones
