One and Only Motor Yacht

Diving is arranged by rendezvous aboard One and Only, and nine toys travel with her: a Wave Runner, a Seabob, paddleboards, water skis, towable inflatables and fishing and snorkelling gear. She is a 102ft (31m) Ferretti motor yacht, delivered in 2012 and refitted in 2021.

On deck

Her beach club steps down to the waterline with a wide swim platform and movable umbrellas, so the sea is a step away. The sun deck carries settees and wicker seating, a marble-topped bar, a dining nook under the hardtop and gym equipment in the open air. The main aft deck has a sheltered table for eating outside, and a balcony folds out from the salon.

Water toys

A Boston Whaler tender carries guests ashore, a floating dock sits out on the water, and a projector shows films in the open air.

Where she cruises

Eleuthera is One and Only's home port, and the clear water and quiet coves of the Bahamas start at her doorstep. Turks and Caicos and the British Virgin Islands are within range, and the chain runs south to St Barths, the Grenadines and Grenada.

Accommodation and crew

Five ensuite staterooms sleep ten guests on charter, and sixteen can be aboard by day. The primary suite takes the full beam of the main deck, with a king bed, an ensuite with twin basins and a walk-in wardrobe; below, the guest cabins include a convertible cabin that suits children travelling with the family. A crew of five runs her.

Comfort under way

Stabilisers hold her steady at rest as well as at speed, she cruises at 19 knots with 29 in hand, and her shallow draft lets her anchor close in; her peak falls between December and March.

Charter notes

She makes an easy hire for couples travelling together or for a family, and a barbecue and beach picnic set-up mean a meal can be laid out on the sand.
