Yacht Description
Easy six-guest setup. KITTIWAKE is a 48-foot Catana sailing catamaran built in 2020, set up to sleep 6 guests in 3 en-suite suites, all with queen beds.
Big swim access. A large, easy-access swim deck and swim platform keep the day simple: in and out of the water without the usual “whose turn on the ladder?” negotiations. Quick rinse at the outdoor shower, back to whatever is on the BBQ.
Watersports without fuss. Two stand up paddleboards, a two-person kayak, a wakeboard, and a towable tube cover the active hours, with a large floating mat for everyone else. Add snorkeling gear plus an underwater still camera and underwater video for proof you actually went in.
Comfort basics, covered. Full air conditioning and Wi-Fi are onboard when you want a break from being heroic, along with indoor audio and a TV in the saloon. There is also a gym, for anyone committed to bad decisions staying temporary.

Charter Reviews
Favorite moments:
Danger reef - seeing the reef sharks swimming around and feeding them from the fish we caught that morning.
Natural beauty which is so different from where we live: sharks, sting rays, iguanas, beautiful tropical waters, night skies, etc.
The food was soooo good. Mariana and Ale did a great job. The fresh tuna incorporated into the meals was great. Fresh grouper as well.
Enjoyed the morning travel of 2-3 hours and then spending the day playing and relaxing
We enjoyed the canopy over the Bote dock :)
Enjoyed the dinghy rides to see the area once we set up for the night
Overall the time with family uninterrupted was what we will treasure most.
Thank you for taking amazing care of us for this special trip. Every meal was absolutely incredible & so delicious – your breakfasts were my favorite, but every meal was made with TLC & we tasted it!
Thank you for protecting us from weather, tiger sharks & bad vibes. You were a delight every day! The decorations, sunshine, constant attention & care was so beautiful. So thoughtful – you are each sweet, generous & kind.
We wish you all the happiness, success, good weather & best fishing!
Thank you for taking GREAT CARE of us!
Continue to love each other so purely – it was a gorgeous sight to see!
- Jenny, Mike & All the best from Steve, Heather
Ale is a great captain and very knowledgeable. He took us fishing, took us to explore many different Island spots, taught us how to play card games, shared his nautical knowledge and made us some great drinks.
Mary is a great chef. She started working before we even arrived by procuring the food for the delicious meals she prepared. We have many food allergies and she was so accommodating and shared ingredients of each meal prior to serving them. The food preparation, presentation and tastes were all awesome! She has great recipes and every meal was just delicious. She prepared a great menu for our week to accommodate our family. She even decorated the boat for our Christmas celebration. From the time we landed to the time we departed she made all transportation arrangements which made traveling so much easier.
Both Ale and Mary worked tirelessly to make sure our family had a trip of a lifetime and got to have a wonderful experience in the Bahamas. Thighly recommend Kittiwake and Ale and Mary for anyone looking for a trip of a lifetime and am glad to have made some new friends!
Best Regards,

Captain Brynn
Did everything in his power to meet or exceed all the requests on our preference sheets. All of the anchorages were beautiful and secluded (as much as possible). We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling at various locations -- and most of the time it was only our group. Awesome! We experienced being under sail (fantastic) and also motoring when conditions weren't good for sailing. We fished and hooked something large, but unfortunately it broke the line -- very exciting! We saw turtles, dolphin, and several reef shark from the boat, and swam with the nurse sharks. We enjoyed relaxing sunsets from the boat with refreshing cocktails prepared by Brynn.
Chef Erica
What an amazing chef! We had no idea that meals aboard would be fine dining experiences -- never a duplicated dish and all beautifully presented. It is amazing how she was able to prepare such elaborate meals while underway -- with quite choppy seas in some cases. Unbelievable!
While we all own boats and are accustomed to being on the water, none of us expected how much different (in a wonderful way) sailing would be from a motorboat. We are all looking forward to our next sailing vacation!
Reflecting on my husband 60th Birthday Celebration, I couldn't have asked for a better way to Celebrate aboard the Catamaran Kittiwake and the Wonderful Crew Captain Brynn and our Chef Jennifer assisting with the meals.
We have done a few charters in the past, but this one, was by far, the BEST ONE!
The itinerary that our Captain Brynn organized for us, was so fun and relaxing, included everything we wanted to do and more.
He was always very attentive to our needs and was very flexible to what we wanted to do. He went out of his call of duty to give us the best trip ever. My son brought his Kitesurf and Brynn was always there so support and assist with the kite. I felt they were just like family to us.
Jennifer, our Chef also went out of her call of duty to create special meals for us so that we can enjoy our time exploring. We always wanted to be with both of them, it was so fun.
We also felt so safe, on our last night in Paradise Island, the sailboat next to us wasn't anchored properly, of course we didn't know that until next morning, as we were sleeping, Thanks to Brynn who was
up all night to keep us safe from the Sailboat to drift on us.
We are world travelers. My kids have travelled the world, but at the end of this trip, they said it was their favorite trip of all.
I highly recommend this crew, as the crew is what makes the difference to make your vacation a memorable one.
Thank you for an amazing trip and can't wait for the next one.
The Jones Family!
Chef/Crew Kelly was equally remarkable. Her food was out of this world! My picky boys cleaned their plate every single meal! She and Wouts kept our drinks full, bellies filled and memories over-flowing. By the end of the trip, they felt like family and it was hard to say goodbye. I cannot recommend this Crew enough for a family experience that will last a lifetime!
This trip, the boat, and most importantly the crew made this vacation
worth every penny.
Wouts and Kelly are talented, professional and fun and a perfect fit for us. We will certainly come back. Kittiwake is well managed, comfortable and great floor plan. We will see you again soon.
-Charles & Camille
My husband and I, along with two friends, decided to charter Kittiwake and sail the Exumas. I can say without reservation it was one of the most enjoyable and restorative vacations we've ever taken. The new boat was ultra-comfortable and spacious with plenty of places to curl up and read or watch the mind-blowing scenery unfold. And Kittiwake's many amenities provided a luxurious touch.
Most importantly, though, was the crew. From the moment we came onboard, Captain Wouts and Chef Kelly took care of us in every respect. Their professionalism and commitment to our enjoyment never ceased to impress us. Wouts MUST have gotten tired of my incessant questions about the boat’s operation…...but you’d never know it. He’s a delight and went the extra nautical mile to take care of us. Chef Kelly produced the most delectable meals, including some award-worthy desserts. She’s a highly talented chef with a bright outlook, all of which is reflected in her dishes. There’s so much more I could say about this trip. Five out of five stars. It would be impossible to place a value on how much we loved it. We’ll be back.
