Description
Tahina is a St. Francis 50 catamaran cruising the Exumas, offering active, fun-filled crewed charters departing from George Town and Staniel Cay, Exumas. The waters she plies are a cruiser’s paradise, known for stunning clear blue waters, sprawling sandbars, and bright starry nights.
Her crew met racing J/24 sailboats in 2004, and have sailed and cruised together ever since, eventually marrying in 2014. Having sailed Tahina from Panama to New Zealand with her former owners while on sabbatical from their day jobs, Captain Jason and Mate/Chef Lara eventually purchased her in 2018 and have fully refit her to the latest standards for use as a platform to share their passions for sailing, water sports and island life with guests.
On Tahina, up to 6 guests will experience the vacation of a lifetime aboard a beautifully maintained 50′ luxury blue-water catamaran, while experiencing all of the adventures the islands have to offer, from swimming to paddling, hiking, snorkeling, spearfishing and more. They’ll experience highlights from snorkeling Thunderball Grotto and the Aquarium to kiteboarding Pipe Creek, rubbing elbows with nurse sharks at Compass Cay, or savoring the famous Sunday pig roast at Chat n’ Chill on Stocking Island. All cruises can be customized cater to guests' passions.
