Duran Stuart - Captain
Nationality: Bahamian
Captain Duran Stuart, who is a native of the Bahamas, has over ten years’ experience in the yachting industry. After receiving his high school diploma from Queens College in Nassau, he enrolled in the Chapman School of Seamanship, located in Stuarts, Florida. The school prepared him for his career by offering classes in theory and hands-on experience related to boating. Classes included rules of the road, Marlinspike, weather, first aid/CPR, boat handling, piloting, dead reckoning, electronic navigation, and boat and engine maintenance. After 369 hours of study, Duran graduated in September of 2005 with his Professional Mariner Diploma.
Duran formally began his yachting career as a mate aboard a 92- foot luxury motor yacht, but quickly learned the ropes and was promoted to the role of captain after obtaining over 2300 hours logged in navigating and piloting and being part of three different crews. He has worked aboard both private and charter yachts and has traveled throughout south Florida and the Bahamas as well as making vessel deliveries up the northeastern United States.
Captain Duran has a friendly personality and a passion for ensuring the safety and comfort of his guests. His focus for each charter is the satisfaction of those on board, and he will always go out of his way to help create the best vacation possible. Personally, he enjoys deep sea and reef fishing and loves sharing his favorite spots for the best catch. Duran looks forward to welcoming his guests aboard Yacht MARGATE and doing all he can to ensure that everyone has a fun and memorable yacht charter vacation.

In 2012 she took a year off to go to expand her knowledge and enrolled in a culinary program at The Art Institute in Vancouver. While in Vancouver studying, she met her husband, Shane.

Shane handles all guest excursions and experiences off the boat and always aims to maximize their experience. He loves to make sure guests experience something new while also ensuring they are checking off of their wishlist.

Reviews
Thank you so much for this wonderful time and thank you Kendra for the amazing food you cooked for us, and thank you Luke for being the best captain ever, and thank you Sherri for making us amazing smoothies, and thank you Kaih for taking us tubing.
Great crew, great boat, great time!
Cheers!
Greeting at the airport from Luke!
And seeing THE COMPANION with Cobus at the pier/dock! SMILES!
First view and WITH AWE, the B HAPPY! The welcome pre-boarding area with Kendra and Keri’s happy faces and fresh hand towels awaiting us on board. A perfect champagne and mimosa toast to kick off our week and Salute to the beautiful B HAPPY accommodations as well as our hosts The Hatherly’s.
Viewing this yacht from near and far, but love how EVERYTHING has a place! Safety information was shared and we always felt safe under Captain Luke. Being able to unpack for the week in cabins and settle in. Regardless of small twin beds we were quite cozy and comfortable. This boat is charming and well cared for.
Very, very quickly we realized what a delight mealtime would be as we enjoyed the freshest and unique ingredients, creative menus and magnificent presentations by Kendra!
Amazed time and time again! Special accommodations were always welcomed. Our time around the table was a spectacular experience and perfect for sharing stories. Truly my love of “it’s in the details” magically happened in so many areas of B HAPPY! Loved the logo carefully branding items in so many perfect ways especially our crew matching personal shirt and cap. Magic always happening behind the scenes including the surprise tidiness of our cabins. Keri was a gem and always a few steps ahead of what we might be thinking. And a personal favorite was the on point vibe of place-settings and table presentation, coffee table decor, coasters, unique serving trays and crafted beverages making each meal and canapé a treat!
We had private evening time enjoying games which was a magical time on B HAPPY!
B Happy crew made memories for us off the boat too! Happy hour on the sand bar and the BEACH set up with the beautiful lunch were highlights! Another special memory was swimming at the reef with turtles and snorkeling. A bonus for the men was surely the duo jet skis. And I TOO was happy to enjoy this thrill. Water toys brought new adventures. While fishing with Cobus the last morning wasn’t considered successful amongst the fishermen, being in the ocean, watching waves and spectacular water colors was the best.
