Steve De Klerk
Captain - Steve De Klerk Steve was born in South Africa and fell in love with boating when he got involved in local sailboat regattas. He was fortunate to have met JJ Provoyuer, who had raced Single-handedly around the World in the then British Open Challenge (BOC) and through him was taught a lot and offered the opportunity to circumnavigate a 47' Sloop back in 1998. 5 young guys set sail from Cape Town on a voyage of a lifetime, participating in regattas like Antigua Race week, (he won his class) and Kenwood Cup in Hawaii. Exchange rate fluctuations changed the program's plan and Steve found himself in Newport, RI, where he immersed himself in the rich NE Sailing culture. He moved to Wrightsville Beach. NC. He tried settling down with a land-based career and gave it his best shot but after 9 years he wandered back to the ocean and made the transition to Motoryacht's and has never looked back. In a professional capacity, Steve has been Captaining a variety of vessels, both Motor and Sail Boats, charter and private in the 90 to 115-foot range all up and down the US East Coast from as far North as Northern Maine and south to the Keys. He has also spent lots of time in the Bahamas as well as the USV and BVI's not to mention a plethora of Caribbean islands he has visited too. Steve has always received excellent charter guest reviews and goes out of his way to ensure that his guests get the best experience possible that he tailors around their favorite activities. He does his best to say "Yes" to every guest request possible. With Steve's true love for the Northeast and the Bahamas, you can rest assured that a trip on this vessel will be one to be remembered.

Who CEDAR ISLAND suits
CEDAR ISLAND is a 32.3 m motor yacht designed to accommodate 8 guests across 4 cabins. She is well-suited for families or small groups looking to enjoy active days on the water, featuring a wakeboard, water skis, waverunners, and a jacuzzi on deck for relaxation. With a crew of 4 attending to the details, she provides a comfortable setting for exploring the coastlines and clear waters of her cruising grounds.
When positioned in the Bahamas, she sits at a length shorter than comparable yachts in the area. Her guest count remains the same as these alternatives, while her 2003 build year is similar. Those familiar with the local fleet will find that she provides a consistent experience, with a profile that aligns with the established standards for vessels of this type and category.
The best time to experience CEDAR ISLAND is from December through April, when the Caribbean, Bahamas, and East Coast United States enjoy dry conditions and reliable trade winds. While she is also situated in these regions from May through November, guests should note that the Atlantic hurricane season falls within the latter portion of this period. Choosing the months between January and April ensures the most settled weather for exploring New England, the Carolinas, and the Middle Atlantic.

Cruising the Bahamas: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from mid-December through April, marked by prevailing easterly trade winds of 10 to 20 knots and dry conditions. Occasional winter cold fronts bring stronger northwesterly winds. May is warm and calm. The Atlantic hurricane season officially spans 1 June to 30 November, bringing higher humidity, increased rainfall, and lower charter traffic, though summer conditions can offer settled seas outside of tropical systems.
Practical tips
- Fly into Nassau (NAS) or Exuma (GGT); Nassau's marinas are 20–30 minutes from Lynden Pindling International, while regional and private flights access Out Island airstrips.
- Cruising permits are required upon entry, and fishing or shelling is strictly prohibited within the boundaries of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
- Provision thoroughly in Nassau before departing for the Out Islands, where grocery selections are limited and dependent on weekly freight deliveries.
Anchorages to know
- Shroud CayLocated within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, this uninhabited mangrove island offers tidal creeks navigable by tender and sheltered anchorage on its western side.
- Staniel CayA central Exuma hub providing protected mooring options, direct access to Thunderball Grotto, and close proximity to Big Major Cay.
- Warderick Wells CayThe headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park features a protected mooring field within a natural deep-water channel and marked hiking trails.
- Highbourne CaySituated at the northern gateway to the Exumas, it provides sheltered anchorage on its leeward side and an established marina for fuel and water.
