You have arguably one of the baddest boats ever built and you realistically showed what it's like to run in a true 4'+ sea with a crew. All the guys out there who state that their boat can run 40mph in 4'+ seas are full of it. You made it a safe, comfortable crossing for your crew. Congrats on your new ride.

Let’s be real. A lot can happen in 9 hours. Especially on the water,and yet modern sailors are safer then ever. Can you imagine not knowing what the weather is going to do, and having only a compass and paper map. The boat could probably drive itself anywhere it’s programmed, and do it safer then a human. Wow. Just wow.

I love the Bahamas never took my own boat but that looks like the trip of a lifetime. Again so happy for you getting the new boat, hope you and the family have a great time.👍

That is one awesome boat. Thanks for showing it to us.

Thank you for making this video. This trip is on my bucket list. Great job videoing the trip. I could almost smell the ocean, and feel the spray on my face.

God what an incredible trip. Not sure if I would be confident enough climb aboard with so much water between land. And I don't know so many nautical terms but awesome boat, awesome skipper, and awesome passengers. I don't mean to be creepy but at the 7:31 mark when the camera showed those mile-high arches I briefly forgot about the trip. You're a seriously lucky man!! Great video!

Very nice, dont think a 42 monohull could keep up, little kids took it in stride, I've been looking at the Arrowcats which are now made in the Tampa area, hardtop galley up configuration like a downeast tuna boat but a catamaran. Thanks for the vid.

You have worked you tail off to get where you’re at. Enjoying your adventures right along with you. Kinda jealous.😂

What an adventure. Congratulations on the crossing. The only downside I can see is that you have a return trip and the sense of adventure will be in the background. :)

Thanks. It was an exciting trip. Life jackets are definitely a good idea.

The 'Bean bag' does work great.. I mean really great. Highly recommend in smaller boats with v-hull, put the bag forward where noise isn't so much engine if not enough room and the child will sleep most the way if waves are choppy.

No Bananas!!! Gorgeous looking boat..
