There are yachts you charter for the destination, and then there are yachts you charter for the experience. Princess Mila — a sleek, 67-foot Fountaine Pajot launched in 2022 — is firmly in the second camp. And now, with a fresh crew aboard, she's better than ever.
A Bahamas Luxury Yacht Charter Unlike Any Other
The Bahamas has a way of ruining you for other destinations. The water is that colour — you know the one, the kind that looks digitally enhanced until you're actually floating in it. The sandbars appear out of nowhere. The iguanas are impossibly bold. And the pace of life aboard a private yacht here is, frankly, the closest thing to perfection we've encountered in these waters.
Princess Mila is built for exactly this setting. Her Fountaine Pajot hull glides through the shallows of the Exumas with an ease that monohull sailors can only dream of, and her contemporary interior — panoramic windows, 360° views, the highest-quality bedding and toiletries — means the transition from cockpit to cabin feels like moving between two different kinds of luxury. Good problems to have.
Meet Captain Connor, Chef Damaris & Lukas
We've said it before and we'll say it again: on a private yacht charter, the crew is the holiday. The vessel is the stage — the crew set the tone. And the team now aboard Princess Mila have clearly been paying attention to what makes a charter truly memorable.
Captain Connor brings the confidence and local knowledge that the Bahamas demands — someone who knows where the giant rays congregate, which sandbar is worth the detour, and how to keep eight guests safe and smiling at the same time. Chef Damaris turns fresh local ingredients into something worth talking about long after you're home. And Lukas — handling both deck and interior duties — is the kind of quietly indispensable crew member every great charter relies on. The reviews speak for themselves. Guests have called them "the hardest working and best crew" and described their charters as "the best vacation ever." That's not marketing copy. That's word of mouth — the real kind.
The Yacht Herself
Princess Mila accommodates up to eight guests across four staterooms — though she's particularly well-suited to a group of six who want a little extra breathing room. The owner's suite is genuinely impressive: an extra-large cabin with a dressing table, lounge area, rain shower, his-and-hers sinks, and private access to the foredeck. It's the kind of space that makes you forget you're on a boat — until you look out the window and remember that you're anchored off a deserted Bahamian island.
Up on the bow, a Jacuzzi tub and splash pool make for a compelling argument to stay put. But if adventure calls — and in the Bahamas, it always does — the 2022 Highfield Sport 460 tender is ready to take you exploring. Add Starlink connectivity, a well-stocked water toys selection, and cruising speeds of up to 16 knots, and you have a vessel that genuinely delivers on every front.
What Past Guests Say
Reading through the guest reviews for Princess Mila is a genuinely lovely exercise. There are birthdays and engagements celebrated at anchor. There are eFoil crashes and "magic tree" wishes. There are families who came as strangers to a crew and left as something closer to friends. One guest, returning from a January charter in the Exumas, wrote that it was "our favourite charter by a mile" — and they'd chartered before.
That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. It's built, day by day, sundowner by sundowner, on yachts like this one.
