It’s almost time to wave goodbye to another challenging year and look forward to the possibilities ahead, and what better way to begin than on a Bahamas luxury yacht charter aboard motor yacht POUR ANOTHER?

Previously known as BRUNELLO, this 35m/115ft vessel has received an extensive refit in 2021 to have her looking like new. You’ll certainly be topping up your glasses in the winter heat, savouring the views and the spirits as your Captain takes you from one island idyll to the next.

Many charters begin in New Providence (better known as Nassau) where Paradise Island hosts the very greatest modern entertainments and fine dining experiences in the region. From here, the Out Islands beckon, where life is laid-back and you can take each day as it comes. M/Y POUR ANOTHER has an excellent cruising range of 1,700 nautical miles to take you from the Pink Sand Beach at Harbour Island all the way down to the wildlife sanctuaries at Mayguana and Inagua.

The interiors are timeless and elegant, combining warm wooden panelling with crisp white and deep sapphire blue tones accented with gold. Between the plush main saloon and intimate dining area, there is a wet bar with a wide array of soft drinks and spirits, so you might choose not to ‘pour another’ but sample the full available range.

As night falls, entertain in the skylounge where you have spectacular views of the sunset as you take the weight off your feet and enjoy first-class service from your professional crew.

The outdoor areas are just as enticing, and off the sky lounge is a sensational alfresco dining area where the group can savour a meal in the fresh air before retiring to the sofa or day bed along the stern. Upon the sundeck, sunbeds, a Jacuzzi and a bar await where guests can see in the New Year and watch fireworks over Nassau.

There is a great selection of water toys to explore the reefs and lagoons throughout the Bahamas, and the collection includes:

2 x Seadoo jet skis
2 x Seascooters
2 x paddleboards
1 x Seabob
water skis
fishing gear
snorkelling equipment, and
inflatable and towable toys

During the daytime, there is room on board for 12 cruising guests. Overnight, the accommodation sleeps a total of 9 guests over 4 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 1 VIP stateroom and 2 twin cabins. The Master suite is placed on the main deck forward and the VIP stateroom has the benefit of the full beam amidships on the lower deck. With almost the same amenities as the Master suite, it is essentially a second Master – an ideal arrangement for four adults and four children.

Marvel at one of nature’s most colourful playgrounds and revel in the warm, fresh air on a Bahamas yacht charter this winter 2021/22 with superyacht POUR ANOTHER ONE, and you’ll soon be celebrating your wise decision with the tipple of your choice.

Expedition yachts have grown in popularity in recent years, buoyed by the desire amongst Owners and charter guests alike to explore farther than ever before, and NANSEN EXPLORER yacht has joined the ranks of vessels available for adventure-filled charter in Antarctica or Greenland.

E/Y NANSEN EXPLORER was originally built as a research vessel and has since been refitted to offer luxurious surroundings along with top quality service. This 72m/236ft vessel is built with an ICE-1A Class hull and has a Captain and crew experienced with sailing in icy regions.

Earthy tones and natural textures are used throughout, and the salon/dining area is just one area where guests can converse, relax and celebrate a special occasion with the warm glow of the fire adding to the ambience. The lower deck has a well-equipped gym for guests to continue their fitness regime while cruising, and there is a well-stocked tender garage filled with water toys for adventures on the water and in the snow. The collection includes kayaks, Stand-up paddleboards and Scuba diving equipment, with a hangar and helipad for guests to get an incredible bird’s-eye view.

When once E/Y NANSEN EXPLORER hosted 60 passengers, she now carries only 12 guests across 7 well-appointed en-suite cabins. Chartering a single cabin is also possible in some cases, instead of the entire vessel – contact CharterWorld for more information.

Upcoming destinations include Antarctica in January 2022 for photography and Greenland from late April 2022 for heli-skiing and more. See more photos of the refined interiors and plan your once-in-a-lifetime journey for the year ahead:
