About ESCAPE

Best for: families and friend groups who want action on the water, with fishing enthusiasts a close second.

ESCAPE is a 1995 Hatteras motor yacht based in Nassau, and her toy package is the standout: three Yamaha jet skis, a 31-foot Jupiter tender, two underwater scooters, a 10-person floating island, inflatable paddleboards, and serious trolling and bottom-fishing rigs mean almost every day can look different. A beach setup with canopy, chairs, and tables rounds out the offering for those who want to come ashore properly.

She accommodates up to nine guests across four cabins: a master with a king bed, walk-in closet, and rain shower, two VIP queens each with their own ensuite, and a twin with a single Pullman, making her a practical fit for families or a mixed group. Captain Dave Erickson brings 47 years of sea time and a USCG 1600-ton Master ticket, and Chef Keira Lukas trained at the International Culinary Center, so the crew pairing covers both seamless navigation of Bahamian waters and genuinely serious cooking. With a crew of five serving nine guests, the ratio keeps service attentive throughout.

everything!

Guest Three:

Best trip ever! The crew was amazing - I hate to leave.

***March 23 to 28, 2026***June 2026

My favorite memory was snorkeling at the rock off Grand Case, delicious cocktails at Rendezvous Bay, cliff jumping (for 2 of us) at Crocus Bay, hiking at the end of Anguilla and landing at a casual beach bar, rum punch at Blanchard’s after a long beach walk, relaxing in the hot tub, the ladies tubing around Road Bay.

We are all incredibly grateful for the outstanding service by the entire crew. They were extremely attentive and we enjoyed getting to know them. All of the food was delicious. This was an epic celebration of multiple milestone birthdays. Many thanks to the amazing crew for making this a vacation to remember. Cheers!!

***January 10 to 17, 2026***June 2026

Snorkeling off of a secluded beach on St. Barth’s was the highlight of ourtrip. The kids loved the water sports as well.

The crew was fantastic! Professional, accommodating and so good to our kids. They organized a treasure hunt for our twins’ birthday and made sure we were well fed and taken care of without being obtrusive. The chef was incredible and the staff overall did a terrific job! Thank you!

***December 29, 2025 to January 5, 2026***June 2026

The Jetskis were so much fun for my son and me and the floating three-person towed thing was my daughter's favorite.

Kelly and Anna you were both amazing and the food was so good Dawn!

Nick + Dax thank you for all the help with the toys!

I'm on a boat!

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which wil generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend (10-15% for the Med) (15-20% for the Caribbean/Bahamas) of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
