Pier Pressure

A yacht that already earns her keep on charter is the safer kind of purchase: a buyer can step aboard for a paid week before committing to anything more. Pier Pressure does exactly that. Built by Azimut in 2020 and refitted in 2023, she runs Bahamas charters out of Exuma and is now offered for sale through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

She is a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull, 27 metres in length with a beam of 6.6 metres and a draught of 1.9 metres, and at 145 gross tons. She was delivered in 2020 and refitted in 2023, work already completed rather than promised for later. Her interiors are credited to Achille Salvagni, and the source describes an owner's suite that runs the full beam of the main deck, finished with a marble bathroom.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across five cabins, with four crew aboard to run the boat and look after them. The source describes a mix of double and twin cabins and crew passages kept apart from guest areas, so service happens without guests seeing the mechanics of it. An open-plan salon with a drop-down television sits at the centre of the main deck living space.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN engines give her a 14-knot cruise and an 18-knot top speed, figures suited to hopping between the Exuma cays rather than crossing an ocean. Stabilisers hold her steady at anchor, which matters more on a boat built for a string of overnight stops than one built for long passages.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, a BBQ and the swim platform turn the outdoor spaces into where the days actually happen, and paddleboards and diving equipment aboard give a Bahamas week something to do between anchorages. A convertible cabin adds flexibility for families without changing the five-cabin count.

Where she lies and how to see her

Pier Pressure lies in the Bahamas, chartering out of Exuma across both the Bahamas and the wider US season. Boatcrowd handles viewings in person, and once a buyer makes an accepted offer we bring in the surveyor and set the sea trial. Because she already charters with us, a prospective buyer can book a week aboard with her own crew first, and decide before committing to own her.
