Victoria Jones never imagined that the sweet gifts of Baci chocolates from her husband Richard would inspire the name of their family’s first luxurious motor yacht, a Riviera 395 SUV.
The votes have been counted … and we have a winner in our latest owners’ photo competition. Blue Heaven, Staniel Cay Yacht Club, The Exumas, Bahamas by Bob and Deb Fischer. “We had an amazing view of everything under Gypsy Soul – it was like our own aquarium right under us.” Congratulations Bob and Deb!
The Exuma Cays offers hundreds of Bahamian Islands, including Staniel Cay, to discover with endless white, sandy beaches or activities including snorkelling, fishing, scuba diving, and kayaking. Visitors can also spend a day with the infamous swimming pigs! The Exumas are renowned for their sapphire-blue waters — waters so stunning, their brilliant colours are visible even from outer space. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club is a hidden gem in the Exuma Cays. The island of Staniel Cay is located in the central Bahamas, making it an ideal destination for visitors travelling by sea or by air.
