Sean Meagher
Captain
United States · English · Year of birth 1974
Sean Meagher
Captain Sean P. Meagher. Born and raised on Cape Cod Sean was given his first sail boat, a Laser, at 8 years old. By 12 he graduated to a 13-foot Boston Whaler. By 18 he earned his first Captains ticket and became the youngest Captain ever at Hyline Cruises (a local ferry company providing service from Cape Cod to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard). From the polar ice cap to the atolls of the South Pacific, Captain Meagher has had the privilege to command everything from search and rescue vessels on the Colorado river to some of the worlds finest and most innovative power and sail yachts on the planet. On Captain Meagher’s last command, the MY Latitude, he undertook 3 historic journeys. In 2014 He led Latitude through the Northwest passage (east to west) and was the 216th boat in history to do so. Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen was the first in 1906. In 2015 Captain Meagher led a second expedition through the passage this time west to east was the 9th boat in history to ever do so and was awarded Boat Internationals Voyager Award. A glutton for punishment in 2016 Latitude ventured North once again. This time circumnavigating Svalbard, an archipelago north of Norway, and punching within 400 miles of the North pole. Latitude is the only private vessel ever to do this and was nominated for second Boat International Voyager Award. In 2017 Latitude headed to New Zealand where she underwent an extensive refit. Captain Meagher was the lead designer and Latitude was nominated along with Vripack for a third Boat International award. This time in the “Best Refit” category. After New Zealand Captain Meagher returned to his old stomping grounds of the south Pacific and South East Asia. Here he sadly said good bye to Latitude completing a five-year mission to go on adventures and photograph wildlife. A life long conservationist Captain Meagher has allied himself with organizations such as The Ocean Voyages Institute and has spoken internationally on the subject of plastics in the Ocean and what to do with them. As a charter Captain Sean has excelled here as well winning accolades and rave reviews from every major charter house on the planet. He has spoken frequently on the subject of the"perfect customer journey" something he feels passionate about. He doesn't just want to give you a great experience he wants to give you one you will never forget. Captain Meagher holds a USCG Master’s Unlimited Tonnage all oceans license for both sail and power.

About the yacht
About STARSHIP
Description as supplied.
Built in 2001 by Delta Marine, MY Seanna was designed to entertain. In 2014 she underwent an extensive refit by Rybovich, the premiere refit facility in the USA. After the refit she emerged as one of the most popular charter boats in the world, cruising in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, South Pacific, and the Bahamas. The boat was made even more popular by the Bravo series “Below Deck,” appearing in two seasons. MY Seanna is one of the few yachts on the market with six staterooms. Spectacular sun decks, beach club, and a host of other features and amenities. Currently she is back in Fort Lauderdale undergoing improvements, including but definitely not limited to, complete engine and generator rebuilds.
Overall MY Seanna is a proven world cruiser with an outstanding charter reputation.

Who STARSHIP suits
STARSHIP stands as a 56.4 m motor yacht that comfortably accommodates 12 guests across 6 cabins. With a crew of 11, she provides a professional level of service for groups seeking an active time on the water. Her deck spaces are well-equipped for leisure, featuring a jacuzzi on deck, a beach club, and an outdoor cinema. For those who enjoy an active itinerary, she carries a wide selection of equipment, including a water slide, seabobs, and paddleboards, ensuring plenty of entertainment throughout a charter.
When positioned in the Bahamas, she sits at a longer length than similar yachts in the area. Her guest capacity remains the same as those alternatives, and her build year is similar to the vessels she is compared against. She provides a consistent standard of quality for guests who appreciate a spacious layout and a proven configuration for life at sea.
She spends her time in the Caribbean, the East Coast United States, the Bahamas, and the Florida - East Coast during both the summer 2026 and winter 2026 seasons. The best time to experience these regions is from January through April, when the weather is generally dry and the trade winds are steady. While she operates throughout the year, including the summer months, guests should note that the period from June through November coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season, which brings increased rainfall and humidity to these cruising grounds.

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.
