On the exterior, a metallic shark gray and black carbon fiber complement her sleek, svelte design.The expansive sundeck provides a great area for entertainment, offering lounge spaces and a wet bar. Alfresco dining is found on both the main deck aft and the covered flybridge. Another great feature on this vessel is the hideaway jacuzzi located on the bow which can be closed away from sight and used as a seating area, or opened up for use to truly enjoy la dolce vita!

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like NO SURRENDER, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($28,750 - $46,000), making the charter cost $143,750 to $161,000. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Captain Eric Stenson was raised in a small coastal town in Massachusetts where life moved a little slower. He and his siblings had a childhood full of simple joys – bonfires on the beach, exploring rocky shorelines, biking through quiet streets, fishing from the docks, and developing a lifelong connection and respect for the ocean that shaped a natural transition into the world of yachting.

He wants guests to walk away from their charter feeling completely relaxed, cared for, and genuinely amazed. His goal for them is to experience seamless service, personalized attention, and unforgettable moments whether that’s a quiet morning coffee on deck, a beautifully set dinner under the stars, or a day full of watersports and laughter. He and his crew strive to make guests feel like every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, leaving them with lasting memories and a desire to return.
He loves working alongside his fiancé, who is the Chief Stewardess. They make a strong team, both personally and professionally, with great communication and mutual respect that helps create a smooth and positive atmosphere on board.
His personal motto is “Stay steady, stay ready”, since things in yachting can change in an instance. He believes in staying calm, prepared and adaptable no matter the situation.

Meagan Bilodeau: Chief Stewardess
Nationality: American
Languages: English
Education: B.A. from Salve Regina University in Newport, RI in English communications and pre-law
Born and raised in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Meagan has always had a deep connection to the ocean. During her senior year of high school, a neighbor who managed a local boat company offered her a summer position aboard one of their vessels. This experience not only introduced her to the marine industry but also led to meeting her fiancé, Captain Eric. Since then, the couple has grown both personally and professionally, working together in yachting while traveling the world.
One of Meagan’s most formative childhood passions was martial arts, through which she earned a black belt. The discipline and confidence gained from this training helped propel her into the world of pageantry. Beginning at age 17, she has competed in the Miss America, Miss USA, and Miss Volunteer America systems, most recently earning the title of Miss Maine Volunteer.
Meagan began her yachting career the same month she graduated from Salve Regina University. Throughout college, she worked extensively in the marine industry, gaining experience aboard commercial vessels, dinner cruises, and ferries throughout Massachusetts. She was previously on two charters M/Y HOYA SAXA and M/Y MIDNIGHT, currently working as a chief stewardess onboard M/Y NO SURRENDER.
As Chief Stewardess, she is dedicated to ensuring every guest experiences a true sense of luxury, comfort, and personal connection from the moment they step on board. She accomplishes this through thoughtful service, seamless team coordination, and meticulous attention to the small details that elevate each experience - whether that means customizing a favorite cocktail, organizing a themed dinner, or preparing a stateroom exactly to the guest’s preferences. Attuned to both spoken and unspoken needs, she takes pride in leading an interior team that works effortlessly behind the scenes to make every interaction feel natural and intuitive. Her goal is for guests to feel not only pampered but genuinely at home.
She aims to continue growing within the yachting industry throughout her twenties, building on a strong foundation of skills while embracing the unique travel opportunities the lifestyle offers. She is especially grateful to share this journey with her fiancé, who also serves as the captain on board.
When not working or enhancing her expertise through courses such as WSET and interior design, she can often be found at Disney. An annual pass holder and wedding planner-to-be at the park, Disney remains her happy place.
Beyond yachting and Disney, she holds the title of Mrs. Miami 2025 and will compete for Mrs. Florida America in the coming May. Staying active is a key part of her lifestyle, with Pilates, martial arts, hot yoga, and distance running among her favorite pursuits. Wellness, discipline, and creativity inform her life both on and off the water, and she is always happy to guide guests through yoga flows or martial arts sessions.
Her motto is “You can do both”. She believes that pursuing personal growth alongside professional excellence only strengthens her. Even while working full-time aboard and traveling extensively, she remains committed to following her dreams and pushing beyond her comfort zones. From volunteering to public appearances, she stays active and purpose-driven, taking pride in maintaining a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

Reviews
Welcomed us with a big smile.
Very knowledgeable about cruisingandthe boat, in general
Restructured the 5-day boat trip for best weather, traveled South to furthest island and then North for best weather
Worked well with crew and they all knew their responsibilities, like "all hands on deck" when approaching a new island and docking
Talked to us to ask us our preferences of places to see and explore
Just a very nice guy
Allen
We kept him busy with 5 teenage boys enjoying the boat toys, like Seabob, etc.
Kept an eye on the boys when in the water and gave them life jackets when need be
Kept the boat clean at all times and was constantly shining rails, etc.
Very pleasant and interesting life
Best part, he was using his drone to take pictures of outings and we didn't know it. The last night he shared them on the TV
Alexia
Seems to love her job.
Learned how we like our coffee and brought it to us without asking in the morning
Good bartender, could make any alcoholic drink we asked for
Every lunch and dinner there were different arrangements on the table, always beautiful

It was Grammy's 75th BD celebration on boat. Both Alexia and Chloe went beyond to decorate with balloons and beautiful decorations for the night we celebrated. They even hung a BD banner on the back of the boat as we came in from a tour
Excellent waitress skills
Very pleasant and engaging
Chloe
Very mature for her age
Impressed with cleaning responsibilities, like ironing sheets on our bed every morning to make perfect. Morning and evening cleaning, straightening of rooms

All in all we felt like we had made new friends. They were all excellent and we are highly recommending that crew to our friends and neighbors who ask about our trip to Bahamas
