HardTimes is a beautiful yacht that conveys the feeling of being in a lovely home. There is ample room to spread out and to enjoy the luxury and relaxation it offers. The expertise and knowledge of the crew made the trip even more enjoyable as we cruised around the Bahamas. I particularly enjoyed snorkeling and fishing with the crew, who had an intimate knowledge of the best spots in the area. The gorgeous blue Bahamian water and the HardTimes water toys made it even more fun.

By any measure, a trip on the HardTimes yacht is a luxurious experience. The appointments, the impeccable attention to detail and comfort, and an unparalleled crew, made it a true trip-of-a-lifetime yachting experience. We enjoyed snorkeling trips to outlying islands, great fishing and pure fun on the HardTimes yacht floats and jet skis. The living area, decks and kitchen area are stunningly beautiful. Our crew is planning its third trip on HardTimes for more yachting adventures.

I was so fortunate to be able to charter Hard Times for an unforgettable trip around the Bahamas for my clients and friends. The itinerary that was discussed – the state rooms – the condition of the vessel and “toys” on board were superior. Most importantly the Captain and crew and chef always made sure that we were comfortable and safe. Having been on a few yachts and charters in my day, Hard Times surpasses all expectations and is an experience that makes a lasting impression and trip of a lifetime.

What an incredible and unforgettable experience. The captain was very attentive and left us wanting for nothing. The mate was very helpful on fishing excursions in the tender. And the chef made some awesome meals. Some meals were prepared with what we caught while fishing, so it was as fresh as could be. The whole staff was accommodating but also gave you your space when you needed it to enjoy yourself.
The boat itself is worth the experience!

Captain Dan,
We have been home for a week and we haven’t stopped talking about our wonderful trip to the Exumas. Not a day goes by that we aren’t all singing your praises. I have never met a more professional group of individuals
that struck the perfect balance of providing luxury service and professionalism, with kindness and friendliness. We were never made to feel that anything was a problem, we were always made to feel welcome, and were given discreet attention to detail in everything! You have a
unique team there where each individual is brilliant at their job, hardworking, effortlessly pleasant, confident, cheerful, skilled, gracious, charming and highly professional. We were all so impressed and miss everyone. Thank you so very much for making this trip extra special. We loved all the excursions, the boat, all the toys you made readily available to us every day, the laughs we had, and the exquisite food.
Thank you Captain Dan, you all deserve every success in life, and we wish you all the happiness your hearts can hold!
