Love sunseeker boats! Great for getting to a destination quick! I used to take my 76 sunseeker from key west to Bahamas! I'm waiting on a new boat now. The market is crazy for boats right now..
Awesome! Can't wait to do the trip again! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing these great cruises!
Thank you for following our journey!
We’ve sailed over twice on scuba trips. Bimini is Beautiful!…….
We're hoping to get over there more often now that we live in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for watching!
I am about to make my first crossing in April in the Hatteras I'm restoring. I can't wait and after seeing this video, I'm so psyched!!!
How exciting!! We still need to have a cocktail. Once the Palm Beach Boat Show is over, we'll reach out!
I don't know anything about yachting but your video was really entertaining.
Thank you so much!
So jealous!! Great video and yacht.
Thank you!
I have crossed twice in a 19’ OB. Fun trips!
Awesome!
Soooo beautiful leaving that early with the lights.
It was such a cool experience, especially that early!
Why pay for a room…that boat has everything you need.
Because the boat was on "display" since it was for sale. We had a crew of 10 and we couldn't all sleep on it. Thanks for watching!
We used to race sailboats to Bimini back in the 80s and 90s. That place sure built up.
Now that would be fun!! Thanks for watching!
Would like to see more of the boat you’re on.
Dreaming of taking a boat to Bimini one day.
Its a great trip!!
I would have 0 stress doing that on that ship!!! Lol
Lol!
I did that crossing on a 38' sailboat....at night. That was an adventure. We took turns on freighter watch and yes that is a real thing. Enjoy your boating and S. Florida 🌴
Thanks for watching!
This is the way to travel there. Sod going across on a Whaler or other such boat.
Thanks!!
This boat is stunning but I think you need to consider an 84'+ yacht for an even better ride across to bimini.
She ran beautifully!
Nice. Subscribed...
Thanks Derrick! We appreciate you following us!
I’d love to subscribe but any chance you guys will ever show more technical items such as all information on pre-check on all items prior to departure, and same when you arrive for us beginners?!! Also maybe showing us your charting info so if we ever go would be beneficial helping us? Thank you!
Hi Stephen, our channel is not just about charter or trips. We are happy to answer any questions. Now that we moved to Fort Lauderdale, we're still looking for our next boat. Thx for watching!
I would hate to see the fuel burn for a 74 ft yacht at 30 knots.
What was the hurry? Cruise at an economical speed
Will be making that crossing this summer on my new Sirena 68 and I don't know if I can wait!
We are so jealous, what a gorgeous yacht! Safe travels!
We are crossing on Jet Skis this Summer.
Whoa! Safe travels! That's epic!
Lots of marinas in Seattle let u tie onto piling.
Great video. A same you have to get off the Sunseeker every night. Who was sponsoring the group cruise? Cruising the Bahamas is so lovely.
Thank you. This was a customer Rendezvous for OneWater Yacht Group. Unfortunately, we had too many staff members on the trip. T
Joe and Kamilla would not approve of your frivolous fuel burn.
Wonderful journey. What is fuel burn at 31 knots? Thats some speed for 74. I have taken Axopar 37 - full throttle at 48 knots from KW to Bimini.
According to PMY, at 31knots and 2100 RPM the GPH is 137 with a range of 263. At 17 knots, it gets its best range at 359 and the GPH is only 56. Thx for watching!
Just fyi…. “Technically” only the captain is allowed to disembark the vessel for customs and all others should stay on the boat until he/she returns. 🙏🏼🤙🏼
Yes, The Capt did that first. Then I went to the marina to pay. He had to return to customs as he left his phone :)
Thank you for a great video Ally and Scott. Gained a new subscriber.
Thanks Mark! Nice to meet you!
31 knots sounds quite fast for a 74 S/S
It was and our fuel burn was insane!
@@BoatingJourney numbers on the fuel burn? How much nMPG at the most economical speed?
According to PMY, at 31knots and 2100 RPM the GPH is 137 with a range of 263. At 17 knots, it gets its best range at 359 and the GPH is only 56. Thx for watching!
I do not know much about these trips but why don’t you stay on the boats at each stop?
Great question! This was a work trip and we used the yacht to transport 14 staff members. Only the captain stayed on it, so this brand new yacht stayed impeccable for our customers to enjoy during the trip.
Did you guys really average 31 knots, that's very impressive for a boat that size.
No, our regular cruising speed was about 26 knots. We traveled at 31 knots from Staniel to Nassau only.
@@BoatingJourney still a vessel of That tonnage being able to go that fast is awesome! Beautiful vessel, and good video 👍
@@surfstarcc1
Top speed is 38 knots (and a range of 38 miles 😉🤣).
Yes , I am interested to know the type of accommodation on board your yacht?
4 staterooms
4 staterooms
did you ever get a boat replacement for the one you sold?
Not yet. We're now in Florida, looking. First the insurance company has to approve the slip location....which we are finding difficult due to hurricane season
You might want to mention the how and why of your trip.
Thank you. I did mention it in our blog, but good catch about the episode. Thanks for watching!
So was this your yatch? Or did you rent the yatch with the captain?
I work for the company that took this yacht thru the Bahamas with our customers (we sell yachts). In the marine industry, we call these "Rendezvous" - you can go back to 2019, and I host many of them in the PNW for my last company. Thank you for watching!
Do you guys want a free deck hand?
I want to do that trip
How much fuel did you use for this passage?
I don't have the fuel bills, but we filled up 3 times and our fuel capacity is 1268 gallons.
I don’t understand why you pay for a VRBO when you have a 74ft yacht. Why not sleep on the yacht?
We have explained this. We had a large crew we were transporting and the yacht was on display at each island as it was for sale.
So, were all boats in the group for sale ?
The yacht was for sale and on display as we cruised the islands.
@@BoatingJourneyoh I see, thank you for responding 👍
Is that you boat or did you pay for the ride?
Neither. We explained in the beginning that Ally was working this trip with her Yacht co
Why stay in a hotel room when you have a 74 Yacht loaded with every comfort amenity?
The yacht was transporting our crew and it was "on display" as it was for sale. Each stop, we invited our customers onto it, so we kept it tidy.
How much you pay dock fees
Each port varied , but you can find their fees on their websites. Thanks for watching!
Why don't you sleep on the boat?!?!?!?!?! What's the point of that kind of boat if you do not use most of it?
The yacht was transporting our crew and it was "on display" as it was for sale. Each stop, we invited our customers onto it, so we kept it tidy.
@@BoatingJourney Aaaah, makes perfect sense.
why dont they stay on that georgous boat?
We mention this. The boat was for sale and on display for our guests (think traveling boat show). Plus we had more staff on the boat than staterooms
Hey, not a native speaker here. Isn't Cay pronounced like 'kei'?
Yes, sorry I may have mispoke during our crossing.
Its pronounced "key"
Why would sleep in a room, when you have a yacht......ddď door handles help to open doors 😅
We have explained this. We had a large crew we were transporting and the yacht was on display at each island as it was for sale.
Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in the yacht. Spent all this money on the purchase, might as well stay in it.
Because the boat was on "display" since it was for sale. We had a crew of 10 and we couldn't all sleep on it. Thanks for watching!
why do you tack a yacht to tour a room on land
not sure what you are asking?
@@BoatingJourney lol
I'm not really sure what this channel is about? We didn't see any tour of the actual yacht, which would have been nice and minimal tours of anything else. Are you selling boats, or just randomly traveling with a bunch of other boats?
If you followed us from the beginning, we owned 2 boats in PNW. We have since moved to Fort Lauderdale and are hoping to find our 3rd boat.
Way too many ads.
Funny how you call your boat a yacht and the others boats. 74 Seeker is a boat, not a yacht. Lol
I work for Sunseeker and in the marine industry we interchange the terms boat and yacht across all models.
@@BoatingJourney I'm aware. I'm a long time boater. I call my 60 a boat. At this point it's just easy for me to tell the reason why people call their boats yachts. Where I'm from, the people own 90s call them boats.
You’re weird…boat, yacht who cares? I’m sure there was nothing ‘personal’ meant by it 🤦♂️
@DiamondD funny how you don't know that technically anything over 40 ft is considered a yacht in the Marine industry, above that you have superyacht and mega yacht. You're just a boat owner not a manufacturer I don't think you qualify to name things. Stay in your lane.
@@diamondd1234 Actually if you want to speak facts any vessel over 30 ft is considered a yacht. But I understand why you don't see it that why because you like I obviously have owned several (Boats) big and small and when you own a 36 or 43 ft boat its hard to compare it to my 74 ft viking. So I consider it a yacht the 36 not so much and a 43 I called a mini yacht. But over 60 ft your definitely at yacht status
Best thing you could have done getting out of wa state
