YouTube Video Description

Our recent trip to The Bahamas was actually a 2-part adventure, with the first 5 days spent in and around our private villa on Pink Sands beach and the following 5 days... sailing through the Exumas on a private yacht! The yacht charter had been in the works for months—it would be our first overnight on the ocean and certainly one of our most expensive trips ever. But little did we know just how risky such plans could be. We had already flown our family of 5 to Harbour Island and spent several days enjoying the sand and local nightlife—when we got an email from our friends at Inspirato Bespoke, letting us know that our yacht had just returned from a previous charter with significant damage. Too much damage, it was deemed, to let it go out again. And thus began a whirlwind of whiplash, frustration, surprise, and confusion as we spent the next 2 days deciding just what kind of charter—if any—we would end up taking. Would we cancel? Would we switch from a motor yacht to a sailing yacht? Or would our dream come true and we'd have a serendipitous opportunity to live aboard a Silent Yachts solar catamaran?
