MILK AND HONEY

Thanks to a very recent and complete upgrade, the sought-after charter yacht Milk and Honey is better than ever. Solidly built by the premier yard of Palmer Johnson and beautifully maintained, she accommodates ten guests in five staterooms.

Exceptionally large for her length, this sleek 125-foot, tri-deck yacht offers the volume and space of a 150-footer. Among the abundance of indoor and outdoor spaces is the sun deck, with a spa pool, bar, and wicker settees. Also on this deck are oversized lounge chairs that adjust to face the sun or shade and can convert to sun pads. One level down, on the boat deck, there is a large table for dining under the stars. Meals are also served on the main deck, either in the formal dining salon or in the soft breeze on the aft deck.

Throughout the interior, serene colors and supple fabrics complement such rich woods as cherry, mahogany, burled olive, and inlaid black walnut. The main salon, with a long, curving settee and chairs, has a full bar as well as a large high-definition 3DTV and a state-of-the-art sound system.

The full-beam master suite on the main deck encompasses a private office, large stateroom with centerline king-size bed, and his-and-her vanities and WCs connecting to a central steam shower and tub room. Three queen staterooms and one twin stateroom, all ensuite, are located on the lower deck.

As would be expected on a yacht of this caliber, no detail has been overlooked, including zero-speed stabilizers to ensure guests are always comfortable as well as expertly looked after by a polished crew of 7.

This active individual is a true waterman who is at home free diving, spear fishing, scuba diving, or just watching the waves on the beach and is also an avid runner and hiker. Working as a deckhand, Jake always makes sure the outside of the boat is shipshape and he makes sure that everyone is always having a fun and safe time.

Dear Pila and Captain Kenny,

I wanted to say thank you to you both and please pass along my thanks and appreciation to the owner as well.  You both were of course a pleasure to work with on the charter on board MILK & HONEY from February 23- March 2, 2013. I spoke with my client late last week and he was very happy! He thanked me for pushing MILK & HONEY and the crew to them and made several comments below:

They genuinely liked the crew, they were all very friendly, easy going and enjoyed by all of the guests

The client and his wife both liked Kenny and Chandra very much

They thought the yacht was very comfortable, a great boat and they were very happy with the selection

The weather was perfect

They genuinely appreciated the zero speed stabilizer upgrade

The chef was fantastic, great food and sense of humor

The client realized as he stood in the pilothouse looking out that he was more relaxed that he could even imagine

They would request more beach parties when they do it again.

Thank you again for all of your hard work, efforts and to the owner for providing a quality yacht, crew and charter program. I appreciate the ability to book MILK & HONEY and I will do so in the future! I have sent her out to clients for the New England summer already.
