If you're a fan of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, you'll love knowing that Fool’s Gold was filmed on Miss Stephanie!
I had the pleasure of visiting Miss Stephanie and her crew at the Bahamas Yacht Show in January 2025, and I can confidently say—I 100% recommend it!
Chief Stewardess Winnie and the crew are fantastic. Their enthusiasm, energy, and friendly spirit create an unforgettable guest experience. They work incredibly hard to meet every need with care and efficiency.
The yacht is warm and welcoming, offering comfort and a homely atmosphere. Built in 2004 and refitted in 2018, she is in excellent condition—well-maintained and beautifully presented. Plus, she boasts an impressive selection of water toys and inflatables, adding even more fun and adventure to the experience. Not to mention, Miss Stephanie is one of the few yachts that features six bathtubs, offering an extra touch of luxury and relaxation.
Highly recommended!
MISS STEPHANIE Yacht Description
-
4 Jet Skis (Yamaha + Sea-Doo):
Four jet skis give everyone more turns, from easy cruises to playful “Trixx Up” tricks. -
2 x F5 Seabobs:
Seabob is the premium seascooter brand for fast snorkeling laps and underwater exploring. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Reduced roll at anchor makes evenings calmer and helps everyone sleep more comfortably.
Built for water time. MISS STEPHANIE is a 138' tri-deck Richmond Yachts motor yacht (built 2004, refit 2018) that leans into the stuff you actually came for: easy access to the sea, big deck living, and enough toys to keep a full group busy.
Decks that work. You get alfresco dining on both the main deck and the skylounge level, plus a sundeck with a deck jacuzzi for low-effort afternoons. Uncluttered outside spaces. More usable seating, less “where do we put this drink?”
Toy chest, upgraded. A 39' Yellowfin center console is rigged for fishing and has a dive door for straightforward water access, backed up by an 18' inflatable RIB tender. Add 4 jet skis (two 2023 Yamaha VX1800AX and two 2023 Sea-Doo Sparks “Trixx Up”), 2 F5 SeaBobs, paddleboards, wakeboard, water skis (adult and kids), towables, and spearfishing and offshore/light tackle fishing gear. Busy, in a good way.
Sleep twelve, properly. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms, including an on-deck Owner’s suite plus a bridge deck VIP, with additional doubles and twins below. Stabilizers at anchor (and underway) help keep things steady when the boat is not moving. Calm nights.

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 MISS STEPHANIE, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($33,750 - $54,000), making the charter cost $168,750 to $189,000. 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.

Reviews
I will say that the entire crew led by Captain David and Alex were OUTSTANDING!
Our entire family were so impressed and shocked with how accommodating and gracious that the entire crew was with us.
We must not forget Chef Gary, since it’s going to be impossible to find a Chef who could beat his fabulous meals every day. The food was so perfect and flavourful every single meal!!
I’ll end by saying that ‘anyone that finds anything to complain about aboard the Miss Stephanie is clearly someone that will never be happy’ :)

Cheers to an amazing Crew!
We had the best time onboard Miss Stephanie. We appreciated all of your hard work and smiles, attention to detail and the thoughtful little touches. We created memories that will last a lifetime.
Catching a shark was incredible! In our memories the open water rescue of X and the spontaneous dance in the rain will forever be etched in our hearts and minds.
We are so grateful.

The kids had an absolute blast each day exploring the islands. From swimming with sharks to snorkeling a plane wreck, it's safe to say they had the best week of their lives.
The adults also thoroughly enjoyed Winnie's cocktails and some leisure time on the boat.
Thank you so much to the crew for making this week such an unforgettable experience! The kids can be a handful (putting it nicely) and we truly appreciate everything you did to make this trip so special!
