About Us

WHAT MAKES OUR SERVICE UNIQIUE has much to do with the design of our vessel. The Nauti Pleasure has ample elevated deck seating for a superior view, shallow draft for Crab Island, safe and easy walk around deck access and so much more.

Unlike most other yachts the Nauti Pleasure is a "shoal draft" coastal motor yacht. What does that mean? Having a shallow draft means that our vessel can get you where other yachts of this size cannot. We can disembark your guests into standing deep water at Crab Island, Destin's most famous boating attraction. Currents at Crab Island can be strong and you don't need to have to swim to Crab Island .

Secondly, TAKE A GOOD LOOK at the seating arrangements of the other yachts. Our yacht features an elevated aft deck with spacious wrap around seating and sun lounge. Your entire group will enjoy elevated panoramic views versus being confined to a crampt lower aft cockpit with a main cabin obstructing your view.

NOTICE the wide wrap around deck walk-ways for safe and easy access to the foredeck and upper deck. Getting around on our boat is easy giving everyone plenty of enjoyment on our 50' yacht. Most other yachts do not offer such a feature with difficult foredeck access through a small deck hatch or intimidating, narrow side decks.

How does a Recreational Bareboat Charter work?

Uninspected private recreational vessels are chartered, leased or rented to an individual (Charterer) through a written agreement. The Owner does not provide a Captain or crew. The Charterer selects and contracts a Captain/crew from a pool of qualified Captains and pays them directly at a rate determined between the two parties. The Charterer assumes possession of the vessel as if it were their own. The Charterer is responsible for the operation of the vessel in accordance with all Federal, State and Local law.

The Owner can recommend a list of Captains for the Charterer to hire, but cannot stipulate the selection. (Title 46 U.S. Code Section 2101 (35) states that a chartered 12 passenger vessel cannot be provided a crew "specified" by its owner to qualify as a Recreational Bareboat charter.) The Owner can require the Charterer to hire a Captain with a preset level of qualifications. Captains MUST have demonstrated competency with our vessel, hold at least a U.S.C.G. 25 Ton Master license and comply with Federal random drug/alcohol testing regulations at a minimum. Captains work for the Charterer as an independent contractor on an "at will" basis as agreed between the two parties.
