Our family recently had the vacation of a lifetime aboard Penny Jo
Charters.

From the moment we stepped onboard, Captain Martin and Chef Suzana made us feel completely at home. Martin's knowledge of the Exumas was incredible, and he took us to some of the most breathtaking locations we've ever seen. The scenery was spectacular, and every day brought a new adventure.

Suzana's meals were absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully prepared, delicious, and seemed to perfectly complement our days on the water. We looked forward to every meal as much as the next destination.

What truly made this trip special was the hospitality. Martin and Suzana went above and beyond to ensure our family had an unforgettable experience. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel like honored family rather than guests. Martin would share daily photos of us which were not only incredible but I so appreciated them as we tend to not take enough photos on family vacations!

The views, the food, the experiences and the memories we made will last a lifetime. We simply can't say enough about Martin and Suzana-they were fantastic in every way. If you're considering a charter in the Exumas, Penny Jo Charters is an easy five-star recommendation!

Sailing on the Penny Jo with Suzana and Martin was nothing short of extraordinary. The moment we set out on the stunning, crystal‑blue ocean, it was obvious we were in the best hands possible. The water was so beautiful it felt unreal, and they made sure we had every opportunity to enjoy it.

Suzana was incredible from start to finish. Her warmth and attentiveness made the trip feel personal, and the food she prepared was fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you’d ever expect on a boat. We were amazed at the wonderful meals she prepared in such a small kitchen. Every meal added something special to the day.

Martin brought the perfect balance to the experience. His sailing skills were impressive and his timing for excursions was amazing. He always had us in the perfect spot before any crowds showed up. But it was his humor that really made the trip fun. His one liners always landed at just the right time, keeping everyone smiling without ever breaking the peaceful rhythm of the ocean around us.

Together, Suzana and Martin create an atmosphere that’s relaxed, fun, and memorable. Between the breathtaking water, the amazing food, and the effortless good vibes, our time on the Penny Jo was unforgettable.

If you get the chance to sail with Suzanna and Martin take it — you won’t forget it.

The Penny Jo is a lovely vessel that provided a perfect home for our group of 3 couples (all 65+) with various levels of sailing experience.
It's well cared for and well provisioned.

Our crew, Martin and Suzana provided a perfect experience in every way. The food, the sailing, the experiences and the anchorages all exceeded our expectations. They have a joyful and unintrusive way of providing exactly what we needed when we needed it. They are a great team, and we expect to sail with them again.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Suzana and Martin in the Bahamas.
Everything exceeded our expectations-the incredible places we visited, the delicious food they prepared, and, above all, their warmth and kindness. Suzana and Martin went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We Just returned from a wonderful 7 day sail in The Exumas on The Penny Jo. Our crew Martin and Suzanna took great care of us. As you can see from the pictures the food was amazing.
Martin made us fresh baked bread several mornings to accompany Suzanna's breakfast spread.We floated, snorkeled, paddle boarded, swam with the nurse sharks and pigs! We hope to return again soon.

Our experience on the Penny Jo was all anyone could ask for. The catamaran was very comfortable. Our crew, Suzanna & Marten are as advertised. Extremely professional with our needs met at all times. Marten is a great captain and Suzanna is a wonderful chef! Those two catered to our every need for the entire week. I highly recommend both the Penny Jo and this crew, Marten & Suzanna

April 2025

Just got home from an unforgettable trip on Penny Jo for my 40th birthday celebration. I went with my husband and two other couples and had the best chef and captain taking care of us around the clock! Suzana was an amazing cook and Martin was exceptional with sharing the history of the beautiful islands and seeking out the best (practically private) islands where we got off the boat to relax on the beach and/or do excursions. We got to swim with the pigs, nurse sharks, turtles and snorkeled around various beautiful areas. Suzana and Martin made this trip so special for me and I will never forget it! We WILL see you two again.

Book the trip - you won't regret it!!

This was our first time to the Exumas and our first time on a chartered boat. The trip was AMAZING! We are already thinking about when we can come back. I would highly recommend the Penny Jo and the Best Move crew! Every detail was taken care of for us!
The food was amazing! Martin knew all of the best places to go and when to get there for the best experience. It was the perfect combination of rest and sight seeing in a beautiful setting without any crowds. Five star experience for sure!!

We had a fantastic time with Captain Martin and Suzana on the Penny Jo. The meals were all wonderful and so were all the sights. From feeding iguanas and pigs to swimming with nurse sharks. The water is so beautiful! Don't forget about the octopus gardens at Highborne Cay. We enjoyed playing "busted" - the dice game with you! Even though you kept the dinghy! Thank you for your Slovenian words Fried Cat! Come see us in Alabama!

Thank you!

Had THE most amazing trip to the Exumas with my daughter and besties, and I have to share because this was everything I didn’t know I needed!

At first, I wasn’t sure if this kind of trip was even in our budget, but once we saw everything included—private yacht, personalized excursions, incredible food, and top-tier service—it was worth every penny.

The Penny Jo Sailing Charter was modern luxury.  Spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with private bathrooms in every cabin—which, let me tell you, was priceless. No sharing, no waiting, just comfort.

And the food? Not basic cruise food. Everything was made from scratch, customized to our tastes, and absolutely delicious. Every meal felt special, prepared just the way we wanted.

Mornings with fresh coffee and a stunning sunrise? Perfect. WiFi to handle a few quick work things? Yes, but only until breakfast was ready when we wanted it.

Suzana and Captain Martine treated us like royalty, catering to our every need and making sure we were 100% satisfied. What made it even better was how genuine and effortless their hospitality was—you could tell they truly love what they do, and that energy made the trip even more special.

The excursions were exactly what we asked for—just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. Some days, it was peaceful, just us and the endless blue water. Other days, we wanted a little action, and they made it happen.

It was the perfect way to unwind, reconnect, and actually slow down for once. Now that my family and friends have seen how incredible this was, they’re already planning the next trip with me.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever set foot on a commercial cruise again. If you ever get the chance, do this.

Our sailing trip through the Bahamas, specifically the Exumas, was simply fantastic! We saw so many marine animals, but the highlight for us was definitely the sea turtles. One of the most thrilling experiences was swimming with sharks – truly unforgettable!
Onboard, we enjoyed delicious meals prepared by our friendly and attentive stewardess. The experienced captain ensured a safe and smooth journey, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.

A huge thank you to the PennyJo team for an amazing vacation – we will definitely be back!

I had an unforgettable week aboard the Penny Jo, exploring the breathtaking Exuma Islands in the Bahamas. The private chef on board was exceptional, preparing a variety of delicious meals that delighted us each day. The ship's captain was equally impressive, sharing fascinating insights into the history of the Bahamas and ensuring we experienced the best the islands have to offer.

Some highlights of our trip included visiting Iguana Island to feed the iguanas, swimming with sharks, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and marveling at a sunken plane resting on the ocean floor. Every moment was an adventure, and the crew's attention to detail made it even more special.

If you're looking for a luxurious, fun, and educational getaway, I couldn't recommend the Penny Jo more. This trip was truly a dream come true!
Jennifer

December 2024

Had the best and most unique experience on Penny Jo Sailing Charters. From when we were greeted at the airport to meeting the sailing hosts, and spending everyday exploring a new island... it was an unforgettable trip. Suzanna took such great care of us and catered the food to our likings throughout the trip. She always offered drinks and made sure we had everything we needed day and night. Martin was a great adventure guide always kept the days entertaining. He was very knowledgeable about the boat and the islands so we were always in good care and felt safe. I would recommend this charter to anyone and will be returning in the future!

Our trip to The Exumas Bahamas was definitely one for the books! It's hard to describe through words and pictures how beautiful and amazing this trip has been!
Pictures just don't do it justice... you truly have to witness it in person to appreciate it.

We had the privilege of sailing Penny Jo Sailing Charters with the most incredible staff and company. Martin and Suzana were an amazing crew and very professional with top notch hospitality. Martin, our captain was very knowledgeable and always put safety first, and Suzana's meals were absolutely delicious! Each day was better than the last, and the water was the most beautiful I have ever seen along with the islands and beaches. Penny Jo provides the best of both fun and relaxation...sunrises and sunsets from the bow to paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and more.

We loved our week on Penny Jo! Amazing boat with great accommodations. The captain, Martin, and chef, Suzane are knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and great to be around. Their confidence and skills put us and the other passengers at ease from the first day on board. One meal was better than the next, flavorful and healthy with a Mediterranean flare. The sights we saw were like nothing we have ever seen - crystal clear water with varying shades of blue and beautiful islands and beaches. The itinerary was perfect - land and sea parks with beautiful waterways, quiet, pristine beaches, snorkeling with abundant fish and turtles, kayak and paddle board spots and at the end of the day, happy hour on the Sun Chill tied to the boat.
Five star vacation!
Andy & Monica

May 2026

The crew (Martin and Suzana) were exceptional. All facets of the boat, sailing, moorings, beaches, snorkeling, hikes, dining, baking, cocktails, amenities, education, history, etc., were handled thoroughly, professionally, and with warmth and kindness. Can’t say enough good things about the two of them. The rest of my family feels exactly the same way.

Suzana is a very good chef. Loved her variety and willingness to cater to our tastes. She also makes killer cocktails!

This was the trip of a lifetime. The boat fit the four of us comfortably. The Penny Jo is in excellent condition, and Martin was constantly improving and servicing the vessel to keep it in top form. I love to see that standard of care. It was nice to have A/C in the staterooms. It gets warm in those cabins without it. I also really appreciate the pivoting back wall on the Bali. It’s really nice to have the whole cabin opened up. There was a good amount of shade. Never underestimate the importance of getting out of the sun.

Highlights on our touring included the Bath, The Cave, hikes across islands to totally remote beaches, swimming with sharks, snorkeling a large number of reefs, multiple crashed planes, turtles, Martin’s drone (he’s an amazing drone photographer), the aquarium, catching a dorado and barracuda, every shade of blue water possible, and sailing instructions.

I covered much of this in the earlier section. The yacht was in great shape. No issues. It’s only a 44 ft boat, so we expected smaller cabins. I’m 6’4” and my son is 6’6”. Having queen beds was great. We only went to the cabins to sleep, so they were fine. Really glad for the A/C. Suzana kept the cockpit in great shape despite us leaving towels and clothes laying around. She constantly kept the kitchen clean. We all agreed that 6 guests on this boat would have been a little cramped. Our group of 4 was perfect.

We used the Sun Chill daily. It’s not comfortable for more than two people. Everyone slides to the middle. The kids liked it, I did not. Some used the paddleboards and had fun. We snorkeled several times a day. It was our primary recreation. Absolutely loved the water, reefs, sea life, corals. There are some good currents in places, but Martin watched us like a hawk and made sure we were safe and picked up. We’re experienced, so currents weren’t an issue. I’ve got about 500 pictures from the underwater GoPro Martin loaned us for every swim.

Suzana is a very good chef. Always three courses at dinner with great variety, we love seafood and she prepared great salmon, grouper, tuna, and lobster. Didn’t know Martin was a baker. Excellent sourdough bread, wheat bread, and from-scratch thin crust pizza! Great strong coffee in the morning. They followed preferences perfectly. We asked to try items from their native Slovenia, and Suzana made several dishes for us. They were family recipes and we loved them. Always more than enough food, snacks, mimosas, cocktails, cold beer, and very good wines.

Martin and Suzana were fantastic. We love them both and would love to sail with them again someday. Helpful, kind, considerate, and friendly. Martin and Suzana really know sailing and hospitality. We became friends on our trip.

Could have stayed for another week! The pace was exactly what we wanted it to be. Martin and Suzana were well tuned into our desires. Having never been in the Exumas, we trusted them to help manage the pace and events. We couldn’t be happier with how it worked out. Never bored or hurried.

We loved our trip!
