Several charter yachts are advertising availability for Thanksgiving bookings at the end of November.
HMY Yachts says the 98-foot Princess No Curfew is available for the holiday in the Bahamas. It’s a 2012 build that most recently was refitted in 2021. Accommodations are for eight guests in four staterooms—two of them with king-size berths, which makes this yacht an option for couples who want to charter together and split the weekly rate.
According to HMY, charter guests aboard No Curfew can be out and about, having some serious fun while the crew and chef are preparing Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. The yacht charters with a 27-foot Boston Whaler center console tender, a pair of Seadoo Spark three-seaters, a couple of Seabobs for underwater exploration, paddleboards, snorkeling gear and a floating dock to expand the available real estate for watersports.
Churchill Yacht Partners, meanwhile, is advertising no fewer than six yachts that still have Thanksgiving availability from its fleet.
First is the 157-foot Christensen Lady Joy, whose owner is accepting inquires for the Bahamas or the Caribbean. This is a 2007 build that accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, and that charters with 11 crew. The yacht is scheduled to make its way to Nassau, Bahamas, this month, following a summer charter season in the Mediterranean.
Also available for Thanksgiving in the Churchill fleet is the 142-foot Palmer Johnson Lady J. It’s currently in the shipyard in Florida, and is being advertised for the Bahamas on Thanksgiving. For the winter season, this yacht is expected to be in the Caribbean, taking 10 to 12 guests in five staterooms.
Churchill’s team also says the 142-foot Richmond Far From It is available for Thanksgiving. It will be in the Bahamas, following a summer of cruising up in New England. Accommodations aboard Far From It are for 10 guests in five staterooms. The yacht is a 2008 build that most recently was refitted in 2016.
Yet another “Turkey Day” option is the 130-foot Westport Dona Lola, which is available for Thanksgiving in the Caribbean. This yacht accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms, and it charters with seven crew. As of this writing, Dona Lola is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a shipyard period to make sure everything is in top shape ahead of the winter charter season.
Intervention is yet another yacht with Thanksgiving availability. It’s a 100-foot Azimut that will be based in Florida and the Bahamas, with accommodations for eight to 10 guests in four staterooms. This yacht charters with five crew.
Isn’t there one more yacht in the Churchill fleet that’s open for Thanksgiving? Yes. The 95-foot Azimut Sorridente is available for a Thanksgiving charter. This yacht bases year-round in the Bahamas, with accommodations for eight guests in four staterooms. It charters with four crew.
