Goodfella Power Boat

Two stand-up paddleboards travel with Goodfella, so two guests can be out on the water at once and a couple has a board each. They lead a set of four toys aboard a 45ft (14m) power boat that Vanquish Yachts built in 2024, and she is among four of the builder's boats offered on Boatcrowd.

Where she cruises

Kralendijk, on Bonaire, is her home port, and from there her grounds take in Bonaire itself, Curacao and Aruba. She also works the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, which puts five grounds within her reach.

Accommodation and crew

A single cabin sleeps two guests overnight and two crew look after them, so a couple aboard has a crew member each, and her peak season takes in December, January, February and March. The cabin is air-conditioned, so the couple sleeps cool, and Wi-Fi aboard keeps them in touch with the shore.

Comfort under way

Stabilisers work at zero speed as well as under way, which takes the roll out of her both when she lies stopped and when she is running. Goodfella cruises at 20 knots with 42 knots at the top, so time under way is kept short, and she uses 160 litres of fuel an hour.

Water toys

Beyond the paddleboards, floating mats and noodles go over the side for those who would rather lie on the water than swim through it, snorkelling gear lets guests see what is under the surface, and a Highfield dinghy is her tender, so guests can leave her where she lies and go ashore.

Charter notes

Goodfella is offered for day hire and by the half day, which suits a couple who want a fast, steady boat to themselves for a few hours or a whole day, and on a day charter she can carry ten guests, so there is room aboard for the rest of their party.
