Home port. The red-brick lighthouse has stood over the inlet since 1860, and the Loxahatchee River runs inland behind it. Every charter starts and ends here.
Charters
Every charter comes with a captain and a mate. Add a chef, the bar, the toys, or an occasion, and the estimate updates as you build it. Nothing is charged here; we confirm dates and a final quote by email.
When
Florida time. We confirm every request by email within one business day; nothing is charged on the site.
A handful of weekends a year we enter the boat in South Florida and Bahamas regattas. You come along as guest crew, or watch the start from the flybridge with a drink. Captain and mate run the boat; you grind a winch if you want to, and nobody minds if you don't.
The boat
A Leopard 52 sailing catamaran, the new flagship from Robertson and Caine in Cape Town, drawn by Simonis Voogd. Four cabins, each with its own head and shower: three for guests, one for the crew. A flybridge with the helm and a lounge, a forward cockpit for the morning, an aft cockpit for everything else, and a hydraulic swim platform between the hulls.

Jupiter, Florida
Jupiter sits at the top of Palm Beach County, where the Gulf Stream runs closer to the beach than anywhere else on the East Coast. Clear water, reefs minutes from the inlet, and the Bahamas about sixty miles over the horizon.

A limestone shore that throws spray on a northeast swell, with the quiet beaches of Hobe Sound beyond. A short sail north and the coast empties out.
The reef line runs a mile off the beach from Jupiter to Juno, in water clear enough to see the bottom from the trampolines. Turtles nest on these beaches all summer.
South to Lake Worth Inlet, where Peanut Island sits with its snorkel lagoon and sandbar, and Palm Beach lines the lagoon behind it. Lunch at anchor, then home along the coast.
A few miles out, the water turns cobalt and the current runs north at two or three knots. Sailfish, dolphin, and the fastest ride to the islands.
West End on Grand Bahama is a day's sail. From there the Abacos, the Berry Islands and Bimini open up for a week on the banks.
About
I'm James Green. I've always wanted a catamaran, and UltraBliss is the way I get to keep one in Jupiter and share it. I also run Ultrabright Exterior Cleaning, a South Florida service company, so the boat is run the same way my crews are: on time, spotless, and with people who care how your day goes.
Every charter is crewed by a licensed captain and a mate. Add a chef and the galley becomes a restaurant. The rest is up to you.
