Accommodations
TAHINA is a 2008 St. Francis sailing catamaran made for relaxed Bahamas cruising—classic, spacious, and wonderfully easygoing. Her inviting layout is centered around comfortable island living, with a cozy salon settee for morning coffee and games, a shaded cockpit for alfresco dining and sunset toasts, and an outdoor cockpit shower for refreshing after a swim before settling back in with turquoise-water views.
Accommodating up to 6 guests, TAHINA offers 2 forward queen cabins with beds measuring approximately 5’ x 6’8”, plus 1 aft cabin with a bed measuring 5’ x 6’ and an additional Pullman berth measuring approximately 2’4½” x 6’. Each cabin has a private ensuite. The two forward ensuites include separate showers, while the aft ensuite features a wet-head shower arrangement. Full A/C keeps the yacht comfortable whenever needed. With a dedicated captain and chef taking care of the details, TAHINA offers a comfortable, carefree way to explore the Bahamas.
Crew accommodations are in the starboard double cabin.

Brief
Captain Jason Decker and Chef Lara Ortiz have been sailing together since meeting on the J/24 racing circuit in 2004. After crewing aboard TAHINA from Panama to New Zealand, they purchased her in 2018 and completed an extensive refit, creating a comfortable platform for sharing their love of sailing, water sports, and island life. Their years of cruising together, broad offshore experience, and genuine enthusiasm for helping guests explore shape a charter atmosphere that feels adventurous, personal, and relaxed.
