CUPCAKE Yacht Description
-
2 x Seabobs:
Premium seascooter brand for underwater fun; perfect for guests to explore beneath the waves. -
2 x Jet Skis (Sparks Trixx):
Rare for motor yachts, powerful and thrilling watercraft for guests loving adrenaline and water sports. -
Waterslide from Boat Deck:
Inflatable slide adds exciting family fun straight into the ocean — a hit with kids and adults alike.
Start with the fun part: CUPCAKE is a 132ft Westship that behaves like a floating beach club with a casino problem. Up top you get a full sundeck Jacuzzi, big shaded lounging zones, and an at-anchor–stable platform courtesy of full stabilizers, so the bubbles stay in your glass, not on the deck.
Deck two: entertainment mode. The skylounge runs like a private gaming lounge with a custom blackjack table, full bar, big-screen streaming setup, and doors straight out to more seating and sunpads. Below, the main salon keeps it grown-up: bar, large TV, and proper dining for 12 when you want to pretend this is a serious business meeting.
Hardware for playtime: CUPCAKE carries a brand‑new 2024 39’ HCB tow tender with twin 600hp Mercurys plus a 20’ beach lander, 2 Yamaha waverunners, Seabobs, e-foil, water slide from the boat deck, towables, golf tee setup, Partybana, inflatable docks, and a full beach club kit for setting up a private “pop‑up resort” ashore. Translation: if you’re bored on this boat, that’s on you.
Sleep architecture: Up to 12 guests in 5 cabins, with a full‑beam on-deck owner’s suite (king bed, shower plus private Jacuzzi bathtub) and a seriously flexible family/guest cabin that combines queen + twin + Pullman. Everyone gets an ensuite; nobody gets the short straw.
Under the skin: Built 2000, extensively refit (most recently 2022+), GRP semi-displacement hull, twin MTUs, and zero-speed stabilizers for a calmer ride at anchor. Bandwidth addicts are covered with Starlink high-speed internet, so you can stream, trade, or “work remotely” while someone else drives the jetski.
Human factor: An 8‑person, charter‑savvy crew, including an award-winning chef and an energetic captain who actually likes taking the toys out. CUPCAKE isn’t about basic transport; it’s about squeezing maximum use out of every deck, every day, with a lot of toys and very little dead space.

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 CUPCAKE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($33,000 - $52,800), making the charter cost $165,000 to $184,800. 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.

| 3 day charter | 66,000USD to 76,000USD | 13,200USD to 22,800USD | 79,200USD to 98,800USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 132,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 66,000USD |

Availability is always subject to confirmation. Gratuity not included for it's discretionary character, usually 5%-25% of the Base Price.

Reviews
Thanks for an amazing time that exceeded all expectations. The crew, led by Captain Nick's skills (functioning way beyond his years), made the trip truly exceptional. The Interiors team rock-solid performance and the phenomenal chef, added to the outstanding experience. The attention to detail in boat cleanliness and the top-notch amenities (the beds, the sheets, the air conditioning, the water pressure in the showers) were simply outstanding. The tenders and seabobs made for perfect adventures, like swimming alongside a big turtle. My friends and I are still buzzing about this trip, with memories that will last a lifetime. Cheers to Cupcake and its crew for making us feel like royalty!
