DESTINY III is a Leopard 46 luxury sailing catamaran designed for blue-water cruising. This performance cat will get you where you want to go in a hurry. Built in South Africa by Robertson and Caine, she was designed by Gino Morelli and Pete Melvin to cruise in comfort. The 25’ beam on DESTINY III creates voluminous interior space. In the main saloon, the large banquette table with U-shaped seating comfortably accommodates the entire charter party for snacks, meals and board games. Open the large sliding doors from the salon to the cockpit to create one vast, social space. A hardtop that extends out over the cockpit from the saloon offers protective, cooling shade. This is where guests enjoy dining al fresco at the large table with seating for eight, cool sea breezes and panoramic views. This is also a favorite spot for shade-lovers to relax with a beverage while underway. For sun worshippers, nothing beats riding up front on the huge trampoline. DESTINY III accommodates six guests in three queen-berth cabins. Each cabin is en suite, with separate shower stall and electric toilet. Cabins are air conditioned and opening hatches and portholes provide good ventilation. DESTINY III is an excellent option for couples, friends and families who want to experience the Bahamas. Go sailing, swimming snorkeling, diving and exploring. Let the professional crew on DESTINY III share the best of the best of this island paradise. Launch a cruise to remember!

March to June crew:
Captain Rob Doyle hails from the Autrailian city of Melbourne. Having spent much of his time in the United States, it was life in the Florida Keys that led him to pursue his sailing and diving career, Rob now has a 100 ton US Coast guard Captain’s license as well as being a SCUBA instructor. He has always pursued athletics, playing rugby and Aussie rules football in his youth. He could often be found along the beach, body surfing as a favorite pastime. Today, besides diving and sailing, Rob really enjoys kayaking in the Keys and Bahamas. He especially loves the Exumas in the Bahamas, and claims this island chain as a favorite location, saying it is beautiful and charter friendly with so many islands being so close together.
Rob’s friendly down under personality suits him well for entertaining aboard, he loves charters that are interactive as his best way to ensure that guests have a great time aboard!
Rob and Anya live aboard their own 42’ sailboat when not working abord Destiny III! They have been dedicated volunteers for hurricane relief, rescue, and emergency food programs when not chartering.

Chef/Mate Anya Elis is so much more; she also holds a US Coast Guard captain’s license and is a SCUBA dive instructor. Anya owned and ran her own dive shop for 15 years. Both German and American, she has done extensive traveling, growing up in SE Asia, to include Indonesia and Taiwan. Being near the water as a child, she indulged in swimming and sailing, along with favorite sports of horseback riding and baseball, she loves all sports!

Following her motto of “Live every day like you are on a sailboat!”, Anya discovered a yachting career while backpacking through Greece after graduating from University in Germany and Louisiana, USA. She has extensive years working on sailing yachts, starting on the deck and transitioning into the galley. Guests rave about her internationally inspired cuisine, from Greek and Italian, to Mexican, Far Eastern and German dishes! Of course seafood is often a primary and well-loved focus.

Anya’s friends describe her as smart, bubbly and creative. She enjoys getting the input of the guests regarding their menu choices, as well as teaching many of her skills such as paddle sports, scuba, snorkeling, and fitness training.

Here are some options to fly in and out of Cat Island if desired:
Watermaker (Makers Air) now fly direct to Cat Island from Ft Lauderdale Executive Airport on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Silver Airways was to schedule direct flights to Cat island, from Ft Lauderdale, starting May.
Other options are to book an RT to Nassau and take a connection to Cat Island on either Sky Bahamas or Western Air (2 flights a day each) and return from Cat to Nassau or from Long Island to Nassau

For clients who may wish to scuba dive, an example itinerary would include South Cat Island, Conception Island, Rum Cay, North Long island, and back to Cat Island. There would be scuba diving opportunities at the start and finish on Cat Island as there is a Dive Resort on Cat Island, and also on Long Island in the middle of the week.

NOTE - Charters out of Cat Island means the first passage would be in Blue waters for a minimum of 22 miles. (The distance to Conception Island from South Cat Island, normally about 3 hours.)

Destiny III will run trips in all parts of the Bahamas including a great 7 or 8 day minimum from Cat island, or George Town, to Ragged Island. The yacht can also start and finish in Crooked and Acklins Islands, as well as the Abacos.
