Mah Na Mah Na Description

Mah Na Mah Na is a sleek and stylish 2023 Bali 4.4, designed to deliver the ultimate in comfort, space, and open-air living for up to 6 adult guests in 3 beautifully appointed queen cabins - each with its own private ensuite. Step aboard and experience Bali’s signature innovation: a completely open concept from bow to stern. Thanks to a unique, full-width saloon-cockpit layout with panoramic windows, Mah Na Mah Na seamlessly transitions from sailing mode to lounge mode. Indoors flows effortlessly into the outdoors, creating a light-filled oasis perfect for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. The interior boasts a spacious “L”-shaped galley, a forward-facing chart table, and a large, refined salon area with seating for 8 - 10. Outfitted with the stylish “Pack Elegance” décor, guests can unwind in plush club armchairs or stretch out on the lounge. Each queen cabin is thoughtfully designed with modern finishes, generous storage, and a private bathroom complete with shower and toilet - making this yacht a luxurious home at sea. Mah Na Mah Na is loaded with thoughtful upgrades to elevate your charter experience. Enjoy reliable high-speed Starlink internet, a powerful solar and generator system, and full air conditioning throughout the cabins. A full-size refrigerator and freezer with built-in icemaker, electric clean water toilets, and a water maker offer more independence and convenience while at sea. The open space Bali design ensures excellent airflow through the saloon and galley, keeping the interior breezy and fresh. Up top, the flybridge invites guests to lounge on sun-drenched couches or relax in the daybed while taking in panoramic views. Shaded areas on both the bow and flybridge provide relief from the sun, while decorative mood lighting sets the perfect ambiance at night. For family or group charters, Mah Na Mah Na offers two additional forepeak berths, each suitable for a child or young adult. These compact spaces include shelving, outlets, and twin-bed-sized mattresses, and are accessed via adjoining cabins. Forepeak berths are intended for use by children, teens, or young adults who don’t mind sharing a more open, communal-style space with those in the connected cabin. With a 25 HP dinghy, top-tier fishing gear, lobstering equipment, and even a surfboard, adventure is always within reach. Whether you’re soaking in the views or playing in the water, Mah Na Mah Na offers a fun, modern, and flexible platform for unforgettable Caribbean cruising. Whether sailing through the Virgin Islands or anchored in a secluded bay, Mah Na Mah Na invites you to explore in effortless style - guided by a professional captain who will ensure every detail of your experience is seamless and memorable.

Mah Na Mah Na Crew Profile

Crew Number1
Captain
CaptainZack Lanford


Captain Zack
Captain Zack grew up on the Lower Colorado River in Texas’ Hill Country, where skiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing were year-round pastimes. Early travels across the United States ignited his wanderlust and fostered a deep curiosity for the natural world - on land and at sea.

After selling his business in his late twenties, Zack jumped aboard a sailboat with a seasoned Atlantic racer to master blue-water sailing. He co-founded a day-sail charter company in Texas, then went on to complete multiple Gulf of Mexico crossings, purchase his own sailboat, and captain voyages up and down the U.S. East Coast. Along the way, he honed his skills on Chesapeake Bay schooners and even lived out of a van while exploring New Zealand and Australia - before answering the call of the Caribbean and making St. Thomas his home.

When he’s not captaining charters for Paradise Yacht Management, Zack leads an inspiring youth sailing program in St. Thomas - teaching Scouts of America how to sail, cook, clean, and thrive aboard a vessel during multi-day island expeditions. He also loves incorporating fishing into the charter experience, especially aboard Mah Na Mah Na, which is equipped with top-tier fishing gear and lures. Sailing down the Caribbean island chain, he’s often in pursuit of the perfect Mahi taco or Ahi tuna steak - adding an extra layer of excitement (and flavor) to the journey.

Zack often calls the ocean “the last frontier,” a place where explorers still roam. As a former business owner turned professional mariner, he combines meticulous attention to safety and customer service with an irresistible enthusiasm for adventure. His genuine warmth and ability to connect with guests of all ages ensure every charter becomes the trip of a lifetime.

Mah Na Mah Na Guest Reviews

February 2025 - Previous Review from Previous Boat

Best Thing You Can Do!!!
Amazing Day!! Highlight of our trip. Captain Zac and First Mate Jamie were delightful and very professional. We always felt like we were in excellent hands. The only reason this company is not ranked #1 is the private small groups they cater to. For our 4 person party, it was not that much more than buying 4 tickets on a big excursion...but Oh the VALUE!!

January 2025 - Previous Review from Previous Boat

Zack and Jaime were the perfect hosts on our private excursion to Lovango and Honeymoon Beach. Zack took us to the best snorkeling spot of the USVI. We have been snorkeling the USV for years and saw more fish in one spot than the total of all the other trips. We felt like we were swimming in a fish bowl. Jaime prepared a gourmet lunch of grilled cheese with grilled onions, and a caesar salad with chicken that left every plate wiped clean. Jaime also made the best Painkiller that put all others to shame.
Sweet Pea raised the bar for fun, laughs, shenanigans and unforgettable memories. If you are choosing between Sweet Pea and another option, Sweet Pea is a slam dunk in providing you with everything you will want and need to create a lifetime memory. We are bringing our children and their spouses next time.

December 2024 - Previous Review from Previous Boat

This was our 2nd time with Sweet Pea! This time we had our 2 adult sons and our 85 mother. The day was beautiful! We had a great breakfast on board and set sail. We stopped, jumped in and snorkeled and saw great sea life. Grandma stayed on board and enjoyed the rum punch!

We then stopped at a beautiful beach and we all got in the water (even grandma). The snorkeling was wonderful there, too. After a few hours we had lunch (yummy) more rum pubch, and set sail again. We stopped and snorkeled again! I think the captain and Ist mate smiled as much as we did (and we got a good laugh at the selfie that was taken by captain when grandma asked him to hold her phone ). Definitely our favorite day of our vacation! Thank you crew of Sweet Pea for making it so great!!!

December 2024 - Previous Review from Previous Boat

Zach and Robbie were amazing! We had a great time on our charter. They were extremely knowledgeable and educated us about so much of St. John. They took us to three separate spots that were amazing for snorkeling! Robbie was very accommodating for one of our party who has food restrictions, and they were able to enjoy a delicious meal. They also were able to accommodate our grandparents, which allowed for them to also enjoy snorkeling and the day itself on the catamaran. We are so thankful to them for making our charter one to remember!
