About LOCATION 5.8

Best for: groups of friends or families after an action-packed Bahamas week, with multi-generational groups a close second.

LOCATION 5.8 is a brand-new 2027 Bali catamaran based in Nassau, and her standout is a toy collection that punches well above the norm: an e-foil, three sea scooters, a subwing, wakeboard, kneeboard, towable tube and a 10-person tender with 70hp to get everyone to the action fast. Five guest cabins (one king, three queens, each with a private en-suite) sleep up to eight in genuine comfort, with individual air-conditioning throughout and multiple cockpit and lounge areas so the group never feels crowded.

Captain Nik Dorward combines a serious sailing resume with a genuine feel for local anchorages, hidden bays and sunset cocktail spots. Chef Lily Davison trained as a private yacht chef after two degrees and five seasons managing hospitality at Wimbledon, and her menu draws on fresh Bahamian ingredients alongside signature dishes rooted in Mexico, Italy and Spain. Together they deliver the kind of crewed week where the water sports are relentless and the food is the other talking point.

Guest reviews

We traded the money for the memories and what incredible memories we have now made. This journey through the Exumas was nothing short of magical.  From swimming with the nurse sharks, feeding iguanas, strolling powdery sandbars, and amazing food; every moment was a dream come true.

Captain Nik and Chef Lily- Your hospitality, heart, and humor made this amazing adventure that much more extraordinary.  The food, the cocktails, and attention to detail was top tier.  We felt the love from the beginning.  We will always remember our beach lunches and all our other incredible meals.

There are good ships and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.

Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime for our family.

LOCATION 5.8 guest review

Still in awe of our unforgettable time in the Exumas aboard Location with Nik and Lily.  It was everything I’d hoped for and more- filled with countless “pinch me” moments that I’ll cherish forever! Fro the weather to the incredible food and amazing company, everything was perfect.  Already dreaming about the next time we can return and re-life it all over again.

Thank you Nik and Lily for going above and beyond in every way.  We were so beyond impressed with your work, but what we will cherish most is the bond we’ve formed with you both.  Grateful to now call you friends.

Crew Review from Previous YachtJune 2026

What a week! This is our second trip aboard and it WILL NOT BE OUR LAST!  This week was all first and we had such a blast.  It was amazing to see the crew in a completely different element from when I came aboard with my family and how well they adapted to the different atmosphere of our group.  Lily our food & service is beyond! You have such an amazing talent.  I cant decide what meal was my favorite as they just kept shocking me.  Nik you were such a trouper putting up with us girls.  You kept us safe, informed, and so entertained.  WE LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!  You both are truly the best and we love spending the week with you both.

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which wil generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend (10-15% for the Med) (15-20% for the Caribbean/Bahamas) of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
