Yacht Description
Fresh refit, big volume. STAY SALTY is a 135-foot Horizon motor yacht built in 2010 and refit in 2024, with the kind of deck space that makes a 12-guest charter feel properly spread out.
Two proper “masters”. She sleeps 12 in 6 cabins, led by a bridge-deck primary suite with a jacuzzi bath and an adjacent study lounge, plus a main-deck VIP/full-beam suite that works well when you have two couples who both want top billing. No coin flips.
Deck life that works. Expect shaded aft-deck dining (set up for 10), a BBQ, and a sundeck with sun loungers and a full bar, plus stabilizers at anchor to keep the main hangout zones comfortable when you are parked up.
Water time, upgraded. The FUNAIR inflatable swimming pool with a net on the swim platform is a standout for safe, low-effort dips, and the toy box backs it up with 2 Sea-Doo Spark jet skis, 2 Seabobs, 2 E-foils, wakeboard, wake surfboard, towables, and 4 scuba sets (rendezvous diving only).
Wellness built in. There is a sauna, plus gym kit including a Peloton treadmill, Peloton bike, free weights, and an ice bath for the brave (or the competitive).

Charter Reviews
The Stay Salty Yacht experience is unlike any yachting experience I ever imagined. The Yacht itself is impeccable, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully laid out allowing for a host of intimate settings for entertaining, focused conversations, and optimal angles for viewing the amazing natural surroundings in tandem. The staff make you feel like family from the point of onboarding till you sadly have to depart. Everything is thought through and delivered with a personalized touch, from the cocktails to the meals to the usage of the amazing toys onboard. There is nothing like it. Stay Salty, my friends. ;-) - Rob B.
Stay Salty is an outstanding yacht that is the pinnacle of relaxed luxury hospitality. The crew, from Captain James on down, is dedicated to passenger safety, comfort and fun- from chilled towels to freshly baked bread to incredibly thoughtful amenities and water toys to the endless flow of expertly crafted cocktails. Having been on several yachting experiences, I can honestly say that no stewards anticipate passenger wants as expertly as Jesse and her team. Departing aboard the seaplane the Captain arranged for us was bittersweet. Can't wait to return! -H.S. California
My friends and I just enjoyed the most incredible journey aboard Stay Salty. This ship is SPECIAL. It is incredibly well-apportioned, gorgeous and spacious, while providing EVERY AMENITY. Likewise, the crew is a cohesive and capable group of fun and nice professionals, executing the voyage with so much ease and grace (it can’t be as easy as they make it seem!). Our entire group could not be more grateful, happy and elated to have been aboard this vessel for our trip. Our collective hats-off to STAY SALTY!!” - Leigh B.
