I LOVE THIS BOAT Yacht Description
-
Water slide (quick launch):
Fast to set up and a guaranteed hit for kids, teens, and playful adults. -
2 two-person WaveRunners:
Ideal for high-energy exploring, quick beach runs, and sharing rides in the Bahamas. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Calmer evenings and better sleep when you’re tucked into quiet bays overnight.
Sundeck, sorted. I LOVE THIS BOAT is a 145ft (44m) Christensen motor yacht (built 2002, refit 2023) that sleeps 10 guests in 5 cabins, and it leans hard into outdoor living with a vast sundeck featuring a deck Jacuzzi and bar. Big top-deck afternoons. Minimal decision-making.
Easy water access. A beach club and large swim platform keep the group moving between lounging and the sea without the usual traffic jam, and the aft main deck sets up well for alfresco dining with a wet bar right by the action.
Toy box with intent. Go full send on the waterslide, then rotate through two two-person WaveRunners, two Seabobs, towables, adult waterskis, wakeboard, kayaks, and SUPs. There is also deep sea fishing gear, plus a 33ft Boston Whaler and an 18ft Novurania for runs ashore and wider exploring.
Five-cabin layout. The primary suite is on deck with a king bed and an office, and below you have two queen cabins and two twin cabins, each with en-suite bathrooms and flat screen TVs with Apple TV, Direct TV, and Crestron control.
