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!!

Jenny

FABULOUS!!!! I love Suzanna and martin they are the best!!! Ask for Suzanna's delicious pasta!! I'm so glad they hungout with us I would have gone crazy being on tha boat wit just my parents!!

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!

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!

Gabrielle

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!

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.

Kim
