Horizon built the P130 for owners who intended to use the boat, and STAY SALTY has been used, hard, well, and by someone who kept reinvesting. A comprehensive refit in 2024 left her charter-ready in a way few fifteen-year-old hulls manage, and she now runs the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands and the wider Caribbean with a crew of eight.
At 41.15 metres she sits in a useful bracket. Big enough for six cabins and a sundeck that carries a bar, a grill and a gym in the open air; small enough to work the shallow, thin water where the Exumas actually get interesting. The hull is composite, the superstructure GRP, and she draws 2.29 metres, which is the number that matters when the anchorage everyone wants is behind a bar.
Accommodation is the part worth reading twice. The master sits on the bridge deck with its own door onto a private stretch of side deck, a walk-in dressing room, and a his-and-hers bathroom built around a marble-set whirlpool bath under a wide sea-facing window. Jets, not a decorative tub. The VIP takes the main deck. Four further cabins below, two doubles and two twins, sleep the rest of twelve, and none of them reads as the cabin nobody wants.
Espinosa Yacht Design did the interior and the material palette is unapologetically warm: cherry joinery, cream leather, brass and chrome fittings. It is not the pale-oak look every new build is chasing, and that is rather the point, the boat feels settled and finished instead of freshly delivered. The main salon runs full beam with a formal dining table forward of it; the sky lounge above is the room that stays busy, with a proper bar and enough seating to lose an afternoon.
She also has a sauna. Cedar-lined, below decks, and genuinely rare on a 41-metre, it is the kind of detail that tells you the owner specified the boat for himself rather than for a brochure.
Outside, the main aft deck seats twelve under shade with a barbecue and a widescreen television, the upper deck is set up for long mornings, and the sundeck carries the bar, a second grill, a spin bike and a rowing machine. The gym is open to the air rather than sealed into a windowless room below, which is the right decision in these latitudes.
The toy list is built around water time rather than horsepower for its own sake. A 37-foot Tidewater tender does the serious running; a 17-foot RIB handles the beach shuttles. Two jet skis, two Seabobs, an e-foil, scuba and snorkelling gear, fishing tackle and an inflatable sea pool that clips to the transom and turns the swim platform into an enclosed lagoon. The crew set the pool up as a matter of course, and it is the single feature guests with children mention afterwards.
STAY SALTY is a straightforward, generous, well-kept boat with an owner who has spent money in the right places. Twelve guests, eight crew, a sauna, a whirlpool bath and shallow enough draft to go where the water turns that colour. For a family week in the Bahamas she is very hard to argue with.
