TORTUGA is a 25 metre Hargrave flybridge motor yacht from 2001, a warm and comfortable American yacht that charters Florida and the Bahamas with easy, relaxed style. She looks after seven guests across three cabins with a crew of three, and her point of difference is that settled, welcoming sense of home: generous living spaces, a broad aft deck and large, well proportioned cabins, all finished in rich cherry and run by an attentive crew who keep the days calm and the yacht immaculate. For a family or a group of friends who want a roomy, easy going yacht with the comfort to cruise the islands at a gentle pace, she is a relaxed and genuinely enjoyable choice from the first morning to the last.
She is built for measured, comfortable cruising, and it suits the warm water of Florida and the Bahamas perfectly. A steady hull covers the run between islands with ease and settles into a quiet anchorage with real poise, while broad, shaded decks and wide walkways make life aboard calm and easy. Clean American lines give her a composed presence on the water, and the crew of three keep every part of the day running smoothly, from the first swim off the stern to a long dinner under the stars. She feels capable and unhurried underway and calm and settled once the anchor is down, with the deck space, the comfort and the service to turn a full week among the cays into something genuinely effortless.
Life in the open air spreads across her generous decks. The broad aft deck gathers a dining table and soft seating a few steps from the sea, the natural place to come together for a leisurely lunch or for drinks as the light drops over the anchorage, while a flybridge above opens to the sun and the breeze with a clear view over the water and the islands. A forward sun pad opens the bow to the sky, and a broad swim platform opens the yacht to swimming, to the tender and to the water toys. Across the clear turquoise water of the Bahamas and along the Florida coast, the open decks are the sociable heart of the yacht, with a quiet cay or a lively harbour always within an easy run.
Inside, the mood is warm, rich and welcoming, finished in deep cherry with soft neutral fabrics and large windows that keep the sea in view and the light flooding through. The main saloon is a comfortable, characterful living space with deep sofas and a low table, set close to a cosy dinette where the whole party can gather over breakfast or a long lunch, so the main deck flows easily from lounging to dining and back through the day. A well appointed galley serves the yacht close at hand with the stainless steel and stone of a proper working kitchen. The warm cherry joinery and the generous glass give the interior a settled, homely feel, an easy counterpoint to the long days spent out on deck and in the water.
Accommodation is arranged over three cabins for seven guests, set below the main deck where the motion is gentlest. The master takes a generous, private position in warm cherry with a wide bed, soft seating and its own bathroom, while a double and a twin, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party. It is a flexible plan that suits a family or a small group of friends travelling together, the cabins ready for couples and for younger guests sharing, every one finished to the same warm, careful standard. Roomy, comfortable and attentively crewed, TORTUGA is a relaxed and genuinely enjoyable way to charter Florida and the Bahamas with the whole party kept close.
