597  Crewed Luxury Yachts for Charter in the Bahamas

Bahamas Yacht Charter

A Bahamas yacht charter promises guests a slice of tropical perfection and unparalleled escapism. The idyllic chain of islands that form the Bahamas provides yacht charter guests with a decadent cocktail of sun-drenched sands (even pink ones), crystalline waters teeming with marine life, and diverse topography.

Comprising more than 700 heavenly islands with precious few inhabited, the cruising grounds of the Bahamas archipelago offer a fascinating mixture of seclusion and connectedness. Expect a gloriously slower pace of life that harmonizes with the gentle tide, blended with a fiesta of blazing color and soft-calypso: an endearingly exotic charter experience.

Silhouetted by coral cays, aquamarine shallows are garlanded with glistening coves and iridescent bays are often only three or four meters deep, making the Bahamas both a perennial family favorite and a jet-setter's paradise. It's ideal territory for shallow draft yachts or catamarans, who can cozy up to seldom-visited anchorages and soak up their celestial calm, or delve deeper for an aquatic adventure.

Bahamas Yacht Charters: At a Glance

• Constant sunshine Its sun-drenched shores amid cinematic landscapes charm yacht charter guests all-year-round. A blissful sanctuary awaits you when you reach these islands.
• 700 islands, cays, and islets Make up the achingly beautiful jigsaw that is the Bahamas archipelago; expect beaches and bays that make your heart sing as par for the course. You'll be spoilt for choice with stunning anchorages.
• 4% cruising fee Attractively low fees help to make the Bahamas an enduringly popular yacht charter destination.
• Easily accessible Reaching the Bahamas is a mere hours flight from Florida or three hours from New York and Toronto. The Bahamas also has excellent transport links to other worldwide destinations.
• Tropical thrills The Bahamas is a place of endless adventure and intrigue: from swimming with inquisitive pigs and gliding alongside friendly nurse sharks; to strolling otherworldly pink beaches and diving into coral-filled caves that once appeared in a James Bond film. The list really does go on and on.
• Shallow waters The Bahamas' alluringly clear waters aren't deep, so shallow draught motor yachts, sailing yachts or catamarans provide guests with more opportunities to admire the Bahamas' natural splendor.

Where to Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas

Sensationally beautiful cays dapple every part of this glittering archipelago, so Bahamas yacht charter guests can take their pick of destinations to venture to. Every kind of possible itinerary can be catered to here; from simply recalibrating on silky sanded beaches lapped by gentle waves of unearthly blue: to shimmying the night away at twinkling bars until dawn; to whiling away sun-kissed afternoons golfing, snorkeling, fishing, and even horseback riding.

Below you'll find some of the most popular destinations for yacht charters in the Bahamas:

Nassau and Paradise Island Best for : vibrant nightlife, iconic scenery, and its proximity to high-end resorts (the renowned The Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island) with bountiful casino and fine cuisine options

The Abacos Best for : endless powdery sand beaches, glittering coves, sheltered bays, verdant forests, and idyllic diving opportunities

The Exumas Best for : seeing the famed swimming pigs, incredible underwater caves, friendly nurse sharks, spellbindingly turquoise waters, exclusive resorts, and deserted cays

Eleuthera Best for : ethereal natural pools, vividly colorful architecture, lesser-known architectural feats, less frequented beaches and vast stretches of transcendental coral reefs that make it a snorkeling and diving paradise

Harbor Island Best for : flamingo pink beaches and waterfront parties from dusk until dawn, charming sundowner spots, and exquisite world-class dining

Grand Bahamas Best for : magical underwater caves, with fascinating subaquatic snorkel and dive sites in abundance, and a national park for epic nature trails

Types of Charter Yachts in the Bahamas

Crewed motor yacht charters and luxury catamaran charters are undoubtedly the best way to discover the Bahamas.

As one of the most popular destinations for yacht charters in the Caribbean , guests have countless fleet options when it comes to a Bahamas crewed charter. If you are unsure whether to opt for a motor yacht, sailing yacht or catamaran to cruise Bahamian waters, here are some main points to consider:

Shallow Cruising Grounds

The waters all around the Bahamas are fairly shallow, often no more than 4 meters deep, and even less in some places. Therefore, yachts with shallow drafts make the ideal choice for luxury charters around this enchanting region.

Most sailing charter yachts come equipped with a retractable keel, facilitating access to the beautiful turquoise shallows, although larger sailing yachts may still find their draft too deep for some areas, even with their keel up!

To get around this, some of the larger luxury yachts drop their anchor further out into the deeper waters and use their onboard tenders to explore the area, where guests can experience the thrill of getting up close and personal with the archipelago’s astonishing marine fauna, including rays, sharks and inquisitive swimming pigs. The yachts’ tenders also enable even greater access to the Bahamas' myriad exquisite island reefs and blue lagoons.

Motor yacht charter in the Bahamas

A luxury motor yacht provides guests with a tranquil haven to uncover the startling beauty of the Bahamas. Whether you want to peacefully bronze under Bahamian rays or get out the jet skis and whizz around deserted islands, a crewed motor yacht charter in the Bahamas provides you with boundless itinerary options. 

Sailing Yacht Charter in the Bahamas

Chartering a sailing yacht in the Bahamas means you can embrace all that these substantially beautiful islands have to offer. Cruising further afield to otherwise inaccessible sleepy villages with chalk-white beaches and waters suffused with a pale aqua glow is worth incorporating into any itinerary.

Catamaran Charter in the Bahamas

Given that the majority of catamarans have shallow drafts, crewed catamaran charters are a highly popular choice for Bahamas vacations. As you can cruise close to the cays, guests can savor the liberating feeling of being able to jump off-board at almost any point. Whether it's to dive amid sunken shipwrecks and admire shoals of fish that shimmy through fronds of coral in a kaleidoscope of color or to dance the night away at a private island under a blanket of stars; the choice is all yours.

How Much Does It Cost To Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas?

Bahamas yacht charters are plentiful, which means there are a vast array of motor yacht and catamaran charters to suit every type of budget. The average prices for motor and sailing yacht charters in the Bahamas are as follows;

For motor yacht rentals in Bahamas, prices can range from $42,100 to $1.47m per week, plus expenses

For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Bahamas, prices can go from $30,000 to $343,476 weekly, plus expenses

Tax for Yacht Charters in the Bahamas

What is the cost of tax for yacht charters in the Bahamas? From the 1st of July 2022, a new 10% VAT rate will be levied on the total charter fee, and is applicable to all yachts cruising in Bahamian waters. The new 10% levy does not replace the current 4% cruising fee which remains payable to the Port Department. 

All yachts wishing to cruise within the archipelago must now register for VAT in the Bahamas and receive a Bahamian TIN number. 

Please consult your chosen yacht charter broker who will be able to offer personalized advice on VAT and any other business for your next Bahamas yacht charter.

Foreign-Flagged Yachts in US Waters

There are strict and complicated rules governing commercial yacht charters (non-private) cruising US waters, which in general means that only US-flagged yachts or US built yachts with a coastwise endorsement can conduct yacht charters in the US. Furthermore, yachts that are available for charter are considered to be "engaging in a trade" and thus ineligible for a US cruising licence. Most luxury charter yachts are also not US duty paid.

As the majority of the charter fleet are foreign-flagged yachts, Bahamas yacht charters will likely begin outside of the US, usually in the Bahamian capital of Nassau where there is a large busy international airport.

That said, it is possible to pick-up charter guests in the US so long as the yacht's next port of call is outside of US waters. This can be a good option for those wishing to meet the boat in Florida and cruise down to the Bahamas from here.

Where Should I Begin My Yacht Charter in the Bahamas?

The vast majority of yacht charters in the Bahamas embark and disembark in the country's picturesque capital  Nassau , which is home to its best-known international ports, dotted with top-rung marinas all along its azure waters. The city is justly renowned for its throng of fine-dining options, boutiques, hip eateries, and casinos fringed by towering palm trees. Nassau is also conveniently located for cruising to the Exumas and beyond.

For a real respite from the crowds, it's common for yacht charter guests to embark their vessel at Marsh Harbor on the  Abaco Islands ,  where you can trace the mesmerizing string of sandy cays that can be found here. Its shores, a serene and shimmering topaz, are perfect for dropping anchor and taking the toys for a spin.

When is the Best Time to Visit the Bahamas by Yacht?

One of the great joys of choosing a Bahamas yacht charter is that its balmy climes and shallow waters make it more or less ideal to cruise all-year-round* .  But the Bahamas does have a peak season from mid-December to mid-April. The average temperatures of both Bahamian summers and winters are unsurprisingly tropical: hovering between 24-29 degrees and rarely dipping below this. 

During the summertime (from May until October), guests can expect endless sunshine and some humidity, while from November until April, the Bahamas has a slightly cooler temperature and colder waters.

*However, whilst Bahamian weather is pleasingly warm all-year the islands do fall within the hurricane belt, running from June until the end of November along the US East Coast and the Caribbean. The Western Caribbean's own hurricane season usually starts from mid-September until early November.

Nevertheless, it is worth keeping in mind that hurricanes in the Bahamas are fairly infrequent, and even less so than on the US East Coast.

Marinas in the Bahamas

It is not hyperbole to say that the Bahamas offers some of the most spectacular marinas in the world: from glamorous hotspots replete with award-winning restaurants, designer stores, and buzzing beach bars, to the exquisite barefoot luxury that emanates from the less frequented.

A slew of activities is on offer here, including bonefishing, ocean fishing, dolphin watching, golfing, and snorkeling. And that's not even to mention the dizzying array of casinos, water parks, and marine reserves you can also find. Simply put, marinas in the Bahamas are simply of the finest caliber.

But which marinas are the best? Below are some charter favorites:

• Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina : the newly renovated marina at Paradise Landing close to the famous Atlantis Resort in Nassau offers a raft of 5-star amenities, wellness facilities and world-class retail outlets, not to mention exclusive restaurants and bars, alongside an on-site customs facility and slips catering to yachts up to 420ft (128m) LOA.
• Treasure Cay Beach, Marina and Golf Resort (The Abacos): well-protected deep water marina, with excellent provisioning. Features an outstanding golf course, as well a spa for an extra dose of pampering. Excursions to see the delightful water-bound pigs can also be arranged here. It offers a 164-berth capacity up to 46m.
• Green Turtle Club and Marina (The Abacos): tranquil and conveniently located to Abaco's hotspots as well as a perfect spot for beach hikes and land-based activities. Accommodates 40 berths up to 39m.
• Atlantis Marina: iconic megayacht marina featuring a protected harbor with 63 berths up to 67m. Has an extensive number of facilities including a golf course, casino, spa, water park, and more. You can also arrange swimming with dolphins excursions here.
• Emerald Bay Marina (The Exumas): large superyacht marina that has a berth capacity of 150 for yachts up to 79m. Within easy reach of many mesmerizing cays, including Cave Cay and Staniel Cay.
• Palm Cay Marina (Nassau): ideal jumping point for exploring Paradise Island and the Exumas, with state-of-the-art facilities and amenities. 194 berth capacity up to 33m.
• Highbourne Cay Marina: exclusive marina on a privately owned island, seen as the gateway to the Exumas. Accommodates up to 26 berths.

Popular Anchorages in the Bahamas

The Bahamas has jaw-dropping anchorages in abundance, flecked all along the 590-mile-long archipelago.

In the Exumas , you must cruise towards Leaf Cay to meet the colony of stocky but amiable Iguanas who call it home. You won't miss them: they'll be ready and waiting to greet you when you drop anchor. You should also pay a visit to  Staniel Cay, where the famed  Thunderball Grotto ( named after the 1965 James Bond film) is located, to see a cave illuminated by light and flourishes of angelfish. Closeby, you'll find Big Major Cay's  swimming pigs, who have a seemingly never-ending capacity for treats, and Shroud Cay's sea turtles contently floating amid a dramatic underwater backdrop. Simply put, it's a wildlife lover's paradise.

In the Abacos, head south to the isolated Great Guana Cay and  spend an afternoon snorkeling around the marine park, or alternatively, head straight to its golf course. Further north, you'll find Green Turtle Cay : where fishing boats stand charmingly in front of timber houses in a perfectly graduated shade of pastels. Swimming pigs (yes, there's even more here!) are located in nearby Noname Cay . And last but not least, bathe in the calm, warm shores of  Treasure Cay,  where you will find some of the best beaches in the world.

Elsewhere, other popular anchorages include those in  Eleuthera , an island steeped in cultural significance but manages to retain its erstwhile charm. Set towards  St. George's Cay to drink up the peaceful ambiance of Spanish Wells beach  and meander the historic  Governor's Harbor.

Best Airports in the Bahamas for Yacht Charters

Reaching your crewed yacht charter in the Bahamas is a breeze, with more than 20 international airports at your disposal, plus myriad smaller private and public airports. However, some are more conveniently located to popular yacht charter destinations than others. Here are the most popular airports for yacht charters in the Bahamas:

• Nassau Lyndon-Pindling International Airport: best for charters starting in vibrant Nassau, as it is conveniently located to the docks of many world-class marinas and can be a quick tender ride from the airport. 
• Georgetown, Great Exuma Airport : ideally located to reach the world-famous swimming pigs in the Exumas. Daily international flights are available.
• North Eleuthera Airport: an international airport that is best for reaching the quaint Eleuthera and Harbor Island.
• Marsh Harbor International Airport: ideal for charters commencing on the crystal clear shores of Abacos, being only 7.9km away.
• Treasure Cay Airport : smaller than Marsh Harbor International Airport, this one is perfect for Northern Abacos yacht charters, taking a short water taxi ride to Green Turtle Cay to reach your destination.

Booking Advice from the Experts

We strongly recommend booking with your yacht charter broker at least three to six months in advance, as the Bahamas is a highly popular Caribbean luxury yacht charter destination. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.

This also ensures your broker has enough time to craft a personalized itinerary and secure a berth at a popular marina.

Local Insight

• Keep in mind that the endless sunshine from mid-December until April attracts a high number of visitors to this idyllic location, and this is when the Bahamas is usually at its busiest.
• New Providence Island (where Nassau and the extraordinary Atlantis Resort and Marina are situated) tends to be heaving with cruise ships. If you are looking for a calmer charter, this is worth taking into consideration.
• Weather conditions and wind strength play a crucial role in anchorage spots in the Bahamas, so plan any overnight anchorages accordingly.
• Some anchorages can be a bit of a challenge to set: it's common for heavy grass to cover a large section of some of the better spots to drop anchor 
• Anchorages that appear to have a sandy bottom can oftentimes be just a thin layer of sand over a coral reef or rock, making it difficult to dig the anchor in. Don't be misled by them!

Most Popular Superyacht Hotspots in the Bahamas

In the north of the archipelago you'll find the Abacos : widely considered to be the boating capital of the Bahamas thanks to its unique geography. Epitomising laid-back Bahamian living, an Abacos yacht charter is ideal for those in search of stillness and solitude. Soak up its subtle alchemy at the vast 2,100 marine reserve in Pelican Cay,  fringed by blossoming coral, tame sea turtles, and dancing angelfish, or explore the superb surfing opportunities at Fowl Cays . For a journey through vivid color, pass a leisurely morning in nearby  Hope Tow n, admiring crayon-hued Bahamian architecture and  Elbow Cay's candy-striped lighthouse whilst drinking in their unpretentious ambiance.

After an afternoon spent floating on a late-summer heat haze, further on to Green Turtle Cay and sip on that famous Bahamian cocktail, the Goombay Smash, by a seafront taverna as the sun casts a peachy glow. Of course, no visit to the Abacos would be complete without a trip to the acclaimed  Treasure Cay Beach : its milky white sands and cyan shallows see it routinely end up on the world's most beautiful beaches list.

Home to 365 cays, days here could easily drift by diving off burnished rocks until the sun slowly slinks away. Life truly does revolve around the water in the Exumas, so think every watersport you could possibly imagine is a go here. Plus, it's the perfect shallow cruising ground for yacht charters, with no cruise ships in sight making it a discerning choice for those looking for repose.

Sailing towards Big Major's Cay is love at first sight for most: it's where you will find Pig Beach ,  and its utterly charming piggies gliding surprisingly effortlessly across the water. Nearby, plunge into the sea with nurse sharks at Compass Cay before ending the day sauntering along the remote  Three Sisters Beach as the sunsets. Whilst you are here, go onshore and absorb Bahamian culture to its fullest in  Georgetown.

An Eleuthera yacht charter has come to encapsulate the island's name, which in Greek means 'freedom'. Secluded, slender, and over 100 miles long, Eleuthera is unquestionably the prettiest out of the Out Islands, fully earning its name as the Nantucket of the Caribbean. With the island's soft, salmon-colored sandy beaches and pastel-painted houses set among pineapple fields, it's hard not to become infatuated by its perfectly-packaged tropical charms.

Make sure you also visit the historic capital  Governor's Harbor  and the verdant  Hatchet Bay whilst you are cruising its unspoiled shores.

Harbour Island

Situated in the northwest of Eleuthera, Harbor Island is renowned for its astonishing Pink Sand Beach , which gets its unique rosy hue from the presence of millions of tiny crushed coral seashells. Packing a powerful punch to the senses, this seemingly endless stretch of sand which is cool-to-the-touch (and ideal for barefoot walking) extends over three miles and adored by the well-heeled. And you'll understand in an instant why when you visit.  Languid afternoons spent upon its long arc of soft sugar-textured sand, hugged by pale-blue waters and bathed in golden light will linger long in your memory.

But that's not all Harbor Island has to offer. It would be remiss not to mention Harbor Island's lively night scene, and the number of sophisticated boutiques huddled here: with Dunmore Town the ultimate go-to destination for designer wear.

Warderick Wells: tether here to discover some of the rarest life forms on earth, as well as lobsters, turtles, and parrotfish.

Clifton Heritage National Park: snorkel around the largest underwater sculpture in the world — an 18-foot statue of a Bahamian girl.

Bimini: less-frequented, this island is one of only a handful of places in the world where you can swim with wild dolphins, so make the most of it.

Bahamas Yacht Charter Q&A

Your vessel will need to have a shallow draft (no more than 4m) as Bahamas waters aren't deep. If you would like to visit the Bahamas by superyacht, it will need to have a shallow draft below 4m or a retractable keel to cruise comfortably and make the most of the idyllic anchorages found here.

Browse with ease on our site a wide-ranging selection of motor yachts, sailing yachts, and catamarans for charter in the Bahamas. Select by your chosen dates, number of guests, yacht type, features, and preferred onboard toys and we'll show you what's available.

If you decide to make an enquiry, a yacht charter broker will then contact you to provide you with a custom charter proposal based on your needs.

You can also reach out to your yacht charter broker directly, and they will be able to research for you the ideal yacht charter in the Bahamas.

Mid-December to mid-April is the Bahamas' peak season, characterized by endless sunshine and pleasingly warm waters.

Nassau is the invariably popular choice to begin a Bahamas yacht charter. Not only is the city astoundingly beautiful and replete with world-class marinas, hip boutiques, restaurants, and more, but reaching other Bahamas destinations like the Exumas is a breeze.

In most cases, a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee is required as a deposit to secure your luxury yacht charter, which is payable once the contract has been signed.

The Bahamas is a highly popular yacht charter destination, which for guests means there is a yacht to suit practically every budget.

When booking, keep in mind the additional costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely tax and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). Typically set at 30% of the charter fee, the APA is paid in advance and covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food,  drinks, as well as any special requests (such as for tenders that are not carried by yacht, equipment hire, etc.)

Yacht Charter in Bahamas

Bahamas yacht charter

When you think of a luxury yacht charter, you'd imagine hopping from one island to another with pristine beaches, crystal clear waters, and the open, calm waters. For the ultimate yacht charter destination, one of the best places in the world in the Bahamas. Easily reachable from the US and with countless mega-resorts and luxury accommodation fit for the rich and famous, a Bahamas yacht charter holiday is genuinely the stuff of dreams.

Why charter a yacht in Bahamas?

The Bahamas is the ideal location for a luxury yacht charter holiday in the Caribbean. The area consists of 3 island chains, each offering pristine beaches, world-class fishing, and stunning dive locations. With over 700 idyllic islands to explore, the site is one of the best spots to charter a yacht in the Western Hemisphere. With islands close to each other, marinas on virtually every central island and an abundance of itineraries, a Bahamas yacht charter is the perfect luxury holiday.

What are yacht charter prices in Bahamas?

Whether you're looking for a superyacht, motor yacht charter, sailing yacht charter, or a catamaran, you won't have a problem finding the best boat for your needs and tastes. The average price for a catamaran below 50 feet is between $10,000 to $15,000 per week. For a catamaran over 80 feet, average prices go around $40,000 to $100,000. For a sailing yacht under 80 feet, average fees range from $10,000 to $20,000 per week, while a sailing yacht over 150 feet can go around $100,000 to $200,000. Motor yachts under 80 feet average somewhere between $15,000 to $35,000, while a motor yacht over 150 feet can average between $150,000 to $500,000 for a week's charter.

When is the yachting season in Bahamas?

Yachting season in the Bahamas falls between November to April, where temperatures average between 27 to 28 degrees Celsius. The islands fall under the hurricane belt, with the annual Atlantic hurricane season between June to November.

Bahamas yacht charter for a day

One of the most popular options for a full-day boat rental in the Bahamas is a luxury catamaran. Sailing luxury catamarans, in particular, are ideally suited for the sailing condition in the Bahamas. These boat options can carry guests from an intimate party of 2 to a large group of 30 guests onboard. What makes a luxury catamaran an excellent option for cruising in the Bahamas is its small draft, allowing you to go through shallow waters, which can bring you closer to secret coves and hidden beaches.

The Bahamas offers unlimited options to spend a whole day yacht charter with hundreds of islands to explore. For one of the most popular destinations in the region, Harbour Island is definitely on the top list. Only two hours from Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, Harbour Island is home to the world-famous pink sand beaches. Dubbed as the crown jewel of the Caribbean, if you only have a yacht charter for a day, then this spot is the best place to spend a few hours of your Bahamian holiday. Explore its beautiful beaches, pastel-painted cottages, and of course, marvel at the beautiful and perfectly-soft, pink sand beaches.

Another worthwhile destination in the Bahamas you shouldn't miss for a full-day luxury catamaran boat rental is the Conception Island National Park. It is home to a wide range of wildlife, from green turtles to sea birds, whale sharks, migratory birds, and reef sharks. And of course, you can also take your luxury catamaran for a full-day itinerary exploring several of the 365 cays that dot the Exumas.

Bahamas yacht charter overnight

For an overnight yacht charter in the Bahamas, head to the Exuma Islands with over 365 smaller islands around it. An overnight charter will have you sleeping on your private yacht in a bay, where the soft waves gently rock you, and you wake up to a beautiful sunrise over cerulean waters.

Depart from Georgetown, the capital of the Exuma Islands, and head to Highborne Cay, an idyllic location for an overnight stay. You can kayak and snorkel at Horseshoe Bay, with its uninhabited beach, then head over to Allan's Cay with 3-feet iguanas waiting for you at the beach. You can then spend a beautiful dinner at a hilltop restaurant with 360-degree views of this unspoiled paradise.

In the morning, head over to Norman Cay, famously home to Carlos Lehder's drug smuggling operations between 1978 and 1982. A sunken plane is now home to a wide array of colourful tropical fish and vibrant corals, perfect for diving. End the day with a sunset cruise before heading back to a Georgetown marina.

Bahamas yacht charter for a weekend

If you have three days to spare, a weekend boat charter in the Bahamas is a must. Enjoy three nights on board your very own private yacht, whether it's a luxury catamaran or a mega yacht that has all the amenities and comforts of a 5-star resort.

A weekend boat charter will allow you to explore some of the Exumas' most beautiful cays. With more than 300 cays, you'll never run out of small islands and beaches to explore. Most of the coves and beaches are uninhabited, so imagine enjoying a day out on a private piece of paradise you can call your own for the weekend. Here is a sample weekend itinerary in the Bahamas, onboard your very own boat charter:

Day 1: Highborne Cay

Spend your first day and night at Highborne Cay, where you can kayak or snorkel at Horseshoe Bay, and discover the famous "Octopus Garden" reef. You can also head out to Leaf Cay beach and enjoy dinner at a hilltop restaurant with breathtaking views of the reef below.

Day 2: Great Guana Cay

On your second day, which is Saturday, spend a full day on the island where locals welcome you at the Black Point Settlement, a quaint little town. There are friendly restaurants on the island, where you will be served traditional Bahamian cuisine and immerse yourself in the local culture. Though there are no moorings on the cay, it features a well-protected and guarded anchorage, which is considered one of the largest in the Exumas.

Day 3: Rose Island

Rose Island is located on the eastern coast of Nassau. It is a small 11-mile-long island with impressive snorkelling conditions, hidden coves, and four beautiful beaches you can choose to spend your day at. On Sundays, which is your 3rd day on board your boat rental, you can join the island's festivities, where a vibrant party scene occurs every week at the seaside restaurants and bars. Suppose you're looking for a more peaceful anchorage or experience. In that case, however, you can stay overnight at the northern side of the island before you head back and culminate your weekend yacht charter around the Exumas.

Bahamas yacht charter for a week

With so many islands, a week-long liveaboard on your yacht charter is the perfect way to explore the Bahamas. Enjoy days out in the waters anchored on secluded and protected bays, immerse yourself in the local cultures, and enjoy the natural scenery. Here is a sample one-week itinerary for your yacht charter in the Bahamas.

Day 1: Nassau

Enjoy a day out in this capital onboard your private yacht charter. It is a bustling metropolitan capital but with some of the world's most stunning beaches. Powdery white sand and crystal clear, turquoise waters are yours to enjoy, while a host of water sports activities are yours for the taking. Head out to Harbour Island on a 2-hour cruise, and anchor off the bay for the night.

Day 2 & 3: Harbor Island and Eleuthera

Spend a day visiting the town of Harbour Island, enjoy swimming and sunbathing at the pink beaches, then head your way to Eleuthera at the end of the day. On Day 3, explore Eleuthera's beauty, including the Glass Window Bridge, grottos, and diving the Cobia Fish Cage for a unique diving experience.

Day 4 & 5: Staniel Cay and Wardwick Wells

Visit Staniel Cay and the Thunderball Grotto, the most outstanding snorkelling location in the eastern Bahamas. Established as a Land and Sea Park since the 1980s, Wardwick Wells features a fantastic ecosystem and wildlife. It is home to sand dunes, rocky bluffs, mangrove creeks and features miles of hiking trails and crystal clear waters.

Day 6: Shroud Cay and Georgetown

Explore the last spot on the itinerary, which is also located within Exuma Park. It features outstanding natural beauty and pristine waters, famous for its marine life. Head to Georgetown at the end of the day and begin your journey exploring the capital of the Exuma Islands. You can either disembark here or head back to Nassau.

Wedding yacht charter in Bahamas

The Bahamas is the perfect place to have your wedding and honeymoon at the same time. You can book a yacht charter for a wedding on board or use the yacht as your transfer to a secluded, private island for your ceremony. A wedding yacht charter in the Bahamas is a unique opportunity to enjoy your special day in paradise, along with your loved ones, or for an intimate wedding ceremony with just the bride and groom. Once the party is over, you can hop back on board to explore the islands for your week-long honeymoon onboard your yacht charter.

A luxury catamaran is an excellent option for your boat charter, and it's one of the most popular boat options for wedding charters. It is a perfect choice for weddings and all kinds of events and celebrations, such as celebrating a birthday onboard, anniversary, corporate party, and any type of celebration. A luxury catamaran is also a perfect choice for large groups on board, as it can usually accommodate a group of 30 onboard, sailing away on the waters of the Bahamas as you party throughout the day and enjoy a beautiful sunset as you head back to the island.

Luxury yacht charters in Bahamas

The Bahamas is one of the world's leading yacht charter destinations, and it comes as no surprise that you will find some of the world's most superior and impressive superyachts cruising its waters. Most of these luxury yachts are available for charter, and all you have to do is choose one for your full-day, overnight, weekend, or week-long Bahamas escapade. Take your pick from the Bahamas luxury yacht charters that are complete with all the amenities you'd want in a boat and more. As you sail from one island to another, not only will you experience onboard comforts and luxuries, you'll also be pampered by the yacht's dedicated staff and crew that can include a private chef, masseuse, fitness trainer, and more.

To give you an example of what a luxury yacht charter in the Bahamas looks like, here are a few features of a mega yacht that you can rent. A 270-foot yacht that costs around $600,000 for a full-week itinerary sailing the islands can feature 14 dedicated staterooms that can accommodate a group of 28 adults. A boat like this will typically have 28 or more crew members, all dedicated to serving the needs of each guest. Other features included in a luxury yacht rental can consist of water toys such as water slides, jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, and other water toys. Amenities on board a luxury yacht charter can include a Jacuzzi on deck, a swimming pool, a cinema, a massage room, sunbeds, and more. A true luxury yacht charter in the Bahamas is a 5-star experience in features, safety, services, amenities, and of course, unbelievable experiences cruising around the spectacular islands.

Choose from a week-long yacht charter or a short weekend luxury yacht charter where you have whisked away to uninhabited islands and private beaches that you can enjoy all to yourself. A yacht holiday in the Bahamas is truly a dream vacationer's dream come true. With marinas on every major island, spectacular natural beauty, and plenty of things to do and places to explore, a yacht charter in the Bahamas is the best way to indulge yourself on your holiday.

What's in a name, a kittiwake is....

The catamaran has a special name that reflects its seagoing character.

According to Wikipedia, kittiwakes are a seabird species in the gull family Laridae. The name is derived from its call, a shrill ‘kittee-wa-aaake, kitte-wa-aaake’.

They have a white head and body, grey back, grey wings tipped with solid black, and a yellow bill. They can have either black or red legs.

In contrast to the dappled chicks of other gull species, kittiwake chicks are downy and white since they are under relatively little threat of predation, as the nests are on extremely steep cliffs. Unlike other gull chicks which wander around as soon as they can walk, kittiwake chicks instinctively sit still in the nest to avoid falling off.

Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the North Pacific, North Atlantic, and Arctic oceans. They are the only gull species that are exclusively cliff-nesting.

Guest Review:

“My husband and I, along with two friends, decided to charter Kittiwake and sail the Exumas. I can say without reservation it was one of the most enjoyable and restorative vacations we’ve ever taken. The new boat was ultra-comfortable and spacious, with plenty of places to curl up and read or watch the mind-blowing scenery unfold. And Kittiwake’s many amenities provided a luxurious touch. Most importantly, though, was the crew. From the moment we came onboard, the Captain and Chef took care of us in every respect. Their professionalism and commitment to our enjoyment never ceased to impress us.

There’s so much more I could say about this trip. Five out of five stars. It would be impossible to place a value on how much we loved it. We’ll be back.”  ~ Dave L. and Stuart M.

We're Glad You'll Be Sailing on Our Boat

Most people agree, that if you want a relaxing, quality vacation on the Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas are the ideal choice. Nassau and Freeport are both full of historical sights and teeming marketplaces. For a more active pastime, you can rent diving gear to explore coral reefs. Or discover uninhabited islands from aboard by boat.

Location of the Bahamas

The group of 690 islands and more than 2000 coral reefs lies southeastward from Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. Out of them, only 29 islands are inhabited. The average area of the reefs is four and a half square km . From south Cuba, and from north Florida will be the archipelago. The combined area of the Bahamas is 13939 km2 and the population of the country is 303 000. There is a parliamentary monarchy in the area and the official language is English. Nassau is the capital and largest city of the Bahamas. About 70% of the country’s total population lives here. It has its own harbour and international airport.

Beaches in the Bahamas

Picturesque beaches, gulfs, and lagoons with the gorgeous view of the sea and warm sunshine will all make your journey unforgettable.

Gulf of Goodman:

Goodman’s Bay Beach is a popular public beach in Cable Beach. This beach offers locals and tourists a variety of fitness activities and a number of water sports. It’s ideal for lovers of sailing. Besides sailboat rental you can rent a moped or banana boat. The sand is rougher compared to other beaches in Nassau, but the water is just as clean and refreshing. There are no restaurants, but in busy periods you can find hot dog stands and merchants selling soft drinks. Due to safety reasons, visiting the beach at night is not recommended.

Pink Sands beach:

Many people visit Harbour Island to view the famous Pink Sands beach. You shouldn’t believe every picture you see on the internet though. Some are left disappointed when they find out that the beach is not fully pink as some photos suggest. The unique mixture of coral, broken shells, miniature rocks, and calcium carbonate color the sand with pink fragments. It’s a long, wide beach. Calm waters surround it. It’s ideal for wedding ceremonies, sports, and yoga.

Junkanoo beach:

The Junkanoo is the only beach in the Bahamas that functions as a full-time party beach. This small but lively area has music, bathrooms, showers, and local dealers. The Tiki Bikini Hut restaurant on the shore serves cocktails in fresh coconut shells. The beach, within walking distance of Nassau’s city center, is popular among sailors primarily due to its nearness to the coastal port. The water is just as beautiful as most beaches in the Bahamas, but the sand is a bit rocky. Only 50 m from Junkanoo beach there’s Long Wharf Beach, which has a similar atmosphere but with less audience.

Main attractions in the Bahamas

The capital of the Bahamas, Nassau, is on New Providence Island in the business region of the country. Historically it was a pirate fortress. The House of Parliament and different judicial organizations are also here. There are kid-friendly sights on the Bahamas like the Atlantis, the water park of the Bahamas on Paradise Island. The Dolphin Encounters is a sea habitat with trained dolphins. Dolphins show diving tricks and give kisses to visitors. You can swim with them, take a photo together, or feed them.

The concept of piracy became popular through movies like The Pirates of the Caribbean. This era, however, is a critical period of Caribbean history. The “golden age of piracy” lasted from 1690 to 1720. It had a huge effect on the Bahamas, since the capital, Nassau, supplied the biggest pirate concentration out of every Caribbean island. Visitors of the Pirates of Nassau interactive Museum can view the weapons used by pirates and come to know the most popular pirate legends. This museum is an especially exciting program for children.

The weather in the Bahamas

The Caribbean region is characterized by the all year long hot and humid tropical climate. The weather is somewhat cool and dry from the middle of January to the middle of April. From the middle of June to the middle of November it’s usually hot, wet, and rainy. The country’s weather is dominated by a subtropical monsoon climate. The average yearly medium heat is 28°C.

All-inclusive yacht charters in the Bahamas – The biggest ports in the Bahamas

George town.

George Town can be found in the central-western part of Great Exuma. We can anchor practically anywhere around the town, as the area is well-protected. There are great anchorages in the centre, at Kidd’s Cove, and a little more to the south behind Crab Cay, at Red Shanks. There is a large port that belongs to Exuma Market in the centre; from here we can easily get to the central shops. They have a fuel station nearby that we can use. There are several yacht marinas in the area, for instance, February Point Marina and Marina Village Crab Cay. All of these marinas are relatively small and family-friendly. Exuma Cay Yacht Club can be found in the southern part of town. Here we can get fuel, access electricity, replenish our water and ice supplies, and they have shower cabins as well. There are also many restaurants and groceries in town.

Norman’s Cay

Norman’s Cay is one of the most fascinating islands of the Exumas, as the area is surrounded by an ancient coral reef. The conditions are suitable for all kinds of waterfront activities, but the place is also perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The remains of drug lord Carlos Lehder’s plane lie beneath the sea. It is a classic diving spot, as the plane is still intact, providing a home for tropical fish and corals. We can anchor at several parts of the island. Boats that are well-suited to strong waves may use the area between Battery Point and Norman’s Cut. As for vessels with a smaller draft, they can anchor near Boot Cay. We can find other anchorages on the southeastern side between the dock and the plane wreck. The area is well-protected against winds, and the depth of water is around 2 metres.

Highbourne Cay

Highbourne Cay is a small, private island between Nassau and Eleuthera. It’s a popular stop for boaters heading to Nassau. We can get water, ice fuel, food and all the essential supplies we need here. Its harbour is beautiful, well maintained and protected. Information about sailing in Exumas or yacht charter in Exumas .

Harbour Island

Harbour Island lies in the northern part of the Eleuthera archipelago and is a perfect place for those looking for diversity. There are great hiking opportunities in the district of the old dockyard. We can find a ruinous fort here that was built under the leadership of the legendary pirate Charles Wayne. The area near the beach is full of marvellous caves, the largest of which was converted to a prison in the 18th century. Today, it is one of the most popular spots to visit. Another reason that the tiny island is popular among visitors is the unique beaches covered with pink sand. There are two yacht ports on the island: Harbour Island Club & Marina and Valentines Marina. Both of them is a well-equipped port with fuel docks.

Rock Sound is a large bay located south of Governor’s Harbour. It is a very friendly town with amazing shops and a wide variety of services. There are great anchorages in the area; however, none of them is completely protected. There are also two small free dinghy docks and an awesome beach near Wild Orchid. Davis Harbour Marina, which is the closest yacht marina, can be found in the southern part of the island. There are 24 anchorages here, and the depth of water is app. 2.5 metres. They offer shower cabins, laundry, fresh-water, ice, fuel and even boat maintenance on the dock. Information about sailing in Eleuthera , or Eleuthera boat rentals .

Blue Water Marina

Blue Water Marina is a great yacht marina in Bimini, providing full comfort to its guests.. We can refuel, replenish our water and ice supplies, use the showers and the laundry service and visit the amazing restaurant. They accommodate 36 boats, and the depth of water is app. 4 metres. We can choose from many diving, fishing and other watersport activities. Information about sailing in Bimini , or boat rental in Bimini .If you wish for an amazing holiday with sunshine and the stunning wonders of nature, visit the Bahamas, where you’ll find all of this.

Crewed Catamaran Charters

All inclusive | full crew.

Experience a yacht charter vacation like no other. Go where you want, when you want. All inclusive with your own Captain, private chef, and tour guide.

A crewed yacht charter is a luxurious way to explore the Exumas, Bahamas while relaxing with your family and friends. Our crew will manage every aspect of your vacation to bring you a private and personalized charter experience.

All of the work of running the boat and prepping the yacht for your vacation is handled by our crew. Benefits of having a professional crew include:

• Yacht Hostess
• Gourmet food
• Provisioning the yacht
• Housekeeping
• Yacht maintenance
• Local knowledge
• Cruising itinerary planning

Simply fly into the islands (we can help with this, too) and meet our crew. Once you’re aboard you’re on vacation!

For non-sailors, or perhaps even sailors who are looking to have a little less responsibility on vacation, a crewed catamaran charter in the Exumas is the perfect solution. From the moment you arrive in paradise to the moment you leave, you will be looked after like family. After your first cocktail, enjoy a chat with your Captain to work out the best itinerary for your group; everything from the amount of time you would like to sail each day, to the type of activities you all enjoy.

Your chef/hostess will be on board to look after you; from making sure you have enough drinks in the tropical climate, to preparing amazing meals tailored to your personal tastes. Our chef will be in touch prior to your trip date to ask about any allergies or dislikes and she will prepare a range of breakfasts, from tasty omelets to French toast. For lunch, depending on your sailing itinerary, you can either choose to have perhaps a Jerk chicken wrap if underway, or perhaps a lovely pasta dish to sustain you through the afternoon. Dinner al fresco at sunset is the best way. If you’ve managed to catch any fresh local fish, your captain and chef will prepare for you as one of your courses (depending on the size, of course!). For more food details, please visit our Sample Menu page. 

To go along with this feast, you will have salads, appetizers, and other sides. Dessert could be something chocolatey and gooey; the best kind, or a cheese and fruit platter. We serve meals with a range of beverages, from healthy smoothies to wonderful wines.

Whether you want to take the helm occasionally, or not at all, or your goal for the week is to “discover sailing” the choice is completely yours. Having your own crew means that you can enjoy island-hopping the beautiful Exuma Islands worry-free.

Activities could be anything from sea scooter, wakeboarding, snorkeling, swimming and exploring uninhabited islands. If reading a book is your main vacation goal; you’ve come to the right place.

Our crew is super friendly and loves the Exumas. They will ensure that you have the best sailing vacation ever, and may even take you to those places that many other sailors would not know about.

Arrive as guests, leave as friends. 

Call us now with your dates and details and we will tailor-make the Exuma sailing vacation of your dreams. Or check rates and availability here .

RELAX, REJUVINATE, AND REVIVE
