BLACKSHEEP Yacht Description
-
Large Jacuzzi on Sun Deck with Optional Shade:
Relax in the spacious jacuzzi while enjoying panoramic sea views and shaded comfort on demand. -
Premium Water Toy Collection Including 2 SeaBobs & 2 Yamaha Jet Skis:
Guests can explore underwater or race across waves, perfect for water sport lovers and adventurous families. Catamarans rarely offer jetskis, so this is a real bonus! -
Inflatable Aquabanas Slide and Floating Raft with Party Soaker:
Kids and families love thrilling slides and fun social time together on the inflatable raft with water sprays.
Start with the obvious: BLACKSHEEP is basically a floating rooftop club with a jacuzzi. The sundeck is the core feature here – a large circular hot tub under an optional hard-top shade, wrapped with sunpads, bar, and dining. If your plan involves long, slow afternoons in warm water with a drink in hand while someone else worries about the engines, this platform was built for that use case.
Then there’s the “water park attached to a 123’ Palmer Johnson” problem. Two jet skis, two SeaBobs, a full inflatable slide from the boat deck, Aquabanas party raft, towables, paddleboards, glass-bottom kayaks, and a 32’ Edgewater chase tender turn anchorages into something closer to a private resort. The crew genuinely like to fish, spearfish, and tow toys, which matters if you actually intend to use all this hardware instead of just listing it on the preference sheet.
Inside, BLACKSHEEP plays the “small group, high comfort” card. Four ensuite cabins sleep up to 8 guests, with a main deck master and multiple king options so grown adults don’t have to fight for the only real bed. The Nuvolari Lenard interior is clean, contemporary, and practical for families or couples traveling together – more “comfortable, well‑designed house” than “don’t-touch-anything museum.”
The refit is recent and meaningful, not cosmetic wallpaper. 2009 build, 2023 refit: new teak, new AV/Audio with Sonos and streaming, upgraded soft goods, and Starlink marine-grade internet. Translation: you can stream, work, and upload drone footage from the jacuzzi without rage-quitting the Wi‑Fi.
Crew is another real differentiator. Six professionals, including a dedicated charter captain, a Bahamian chef with serious hotel and Four Seasons background, and a service team that’s used to UHNW family routines rather than one-off events. If you’re bringing kids, multi-generational family, or friends who like structure (and second helpings), this matters more than one extra knot of speed.
Net effect: BLACKSHEEP is for clients who want a 120‑foot platform where the focus is clear—hot tub, decks, toys, strong Wi‑Fi, and a crew that actually uses the gear—rather than a long spec sheet you never touch.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like BLACKSHEEP, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($21,250 - $34,000), making the charter cost $106,250 to $119,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

| 14 day charter | 170,000USD to 190,000USD | 34,000USD to 57,000USD | 204,000USD to 247,000USD | Discounts outside the main season are common. | |
| 7 day charter | 85,000USD to 95,000USD | 17,000USD to 28,500USD | 102,000USD to 123,500USD | Standard charter rate, base for all calculations. | |
| 3 day charter | 42,500USD to 47,500USD | 8,500USD to 14,250USD | 51,000USD to 61,750USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 85,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 42,500USD |
