The current owner loved "BrightSide" as they winter home in the Bahamas. She performed beautifully as they cruised to many islands. Entertaining many guests who would fly in and spend time aboard. It's the perfect boat for this type of use: plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, with abundant comfort for all. She is brilliantly seaworthy, and can easily handle five foot seas if called upon (Gulf stream crossing). Never felt need for a a captain, two competent boaters can handle this boat with precision.
