Hard Times Motor Yacht

Constructed by Westport in 1997 and updated with a refit in 2022, the 98ft (30m) motor yacht Hard Times offers a well-proven platform with refreshed interiors and modern systems. Her 3 cabins – 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Twin and 1 Pullman – accommodate 7 guests, attended by a crew of 3 who handle navigation, meals, and itinerary planning so guests focus entirely on enjoying the voyage.

The Updated Hard Times

The 2022 refit brought Hard Times’s interior and amenities into line with what today’s charter guests expect. On deck, there is ample space for dining, sunbathing, and watching the scenery pass at 12 knots. Below, the staterooms are a comfortable base after days spent ashore or in the water. Features include a swim platform and a beach club. The updated galley allows the chef to prepare restaurant-quality meals, adapting menus to preferences and dietary requirements.

Activities Aboard

With 9 water toys at hand, including a wave runner, a Seabob, a SUP board, a wakeboard, a kayak, and towable inflatables, Hard Times provides genuine variety for active groups and those who prefer to take things slowly. The 32ft Edgewater Tender is on call for beach landings, harbour visits, and offshore snorkeling trips. The crew manages all logistics, allowing guests to simply enjoy each activity as it comes.

Cruising USA and Bahamas

Hard Times charters throughout Bahamas and USA in the USA and Bahamas, repositioning seasonally to follow the best weather and cruising conditions. The recommended charter season falls within Jan, Feb, Mar, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Dec. A refitted motor yacht offers an attractive balance of quality and value – modern finishes and reliable systems wrapped in a hull that has already proven its sea-keeping abilities.
