599  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.

Don't Miss:

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

Wax Cay: grab your jet skis for a thrilling trip through the cay's myriad of mangroves.

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.

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.

How do I start planning my ultimate Bahamas Yacht Charter Holiday?

Embarking on a mega yacht charter in the Bahamas is an exhilarating experience, offering a blend of beaches, secluded beaches, and crystal-clear waters. Begin by deciding whether you prefer a sailing yacht charter or a motor yacht experience. Consider including Paradise Island, known for its world-class resorts like the Atlantis Resort and Exuma Cays, home to the famous swimming pigs. For a more intimate experience, private islands offer secluded beaches away from the typical cruise ship routes.

Can we explore marine life and engage in water sports during our yacht charter in the Bahamas?

Absolutely! Charter yachts in the Bahamas are well-equipped for an array of water activities. The shallow waters around Exumas or Andros Barrier Reef are perfect for snorkeling, revealing vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine animals. For an adventurous day, consider using jet skis around New Providence Island or exploring the underwater mysteries of Thunderball Grotto. Additionally, catamaran charters are ideal for accessing more remote areas, offering a stable platform for both relaxation and activities.

What makes Harbour Island a must-visit during our Bahamas sailing vacation?

Harbour Island is renowned for its beautiful beaches, especially the pink sand beaches that offer a unique backdrop to this charming destination. On your luxury yacht charter, you can enjoy the island’s laid-back atmosphere, explore the chic boutiques, and dine at exquisite restaurants. Harbor Island also serves as a perfect anchorage for sailing yachts and motor yachts, allowing you to experience both the land and sea aspects of the Bahamas. Don’t forget to visit the Green Turtle Cay nearby, known for its friendly nurse sharks and picturesque settings.

How can we make the most out of our motor yacht charter in the Exuma Cays?

The Cays offer an unparalleled yacht charter experience with their exotic marine inhabitants and deserted islands. When chartering a motor yacht, you have the flexibility to explore far-flung locations such as Staniel Cay, Compass Cay, and the Land and Sea Park. Don’t miss the opportunity to swim with the world-famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, snorkel in the pristine waters of Thunderball Grotto, or simply relax on the sand beaches. For a truly immersive experience, consider a day charter to Norman’s Cay to discover its underwater plane wreck and historical allure.

What unique experiences does New Providence Island offer for a sailing yacht charter?

New Providence Island, home to the capital city, Nassau, is a vibrant hub for those on a Bahamas sailing vacation. A sailing yacht provides the perfect platform to explore the bustling markets, historical forts, and the luxurious Palm Cay Marina. For a touch of nature, the nearby Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama Island presents caves and mangroves to explore. Sailors can also enjoy the shallow draught motor yachts’ advantage, allowing access to hidden coves and private beaches around Paradise Island and the Rose Island area, known for its tranquility away from the main tourist spots.

What are the top destinations to include in our Bahamas yacht charters itinerary for a diverse experience?

A boat charter in the Bahamas offers an array of destinations, each with its unique charm. Treasure Cay in the Abacos is renowned for one of the world’s most breathtakingly beautiful beaches, perfect for those seeking relaxation on their luxury yacht charter. Adventure seekers can head to Andros Barrier Reef for world-class diving, exploring the vibrant coral reefs and rich marine life. Don’t overlook the serene Cays Land and Sea Park, the first of its kind, offering pristine secluded beaches, untouched marine habitat, and protected waters ideal for sailing yachts and motor yachts alike. For a mix of luxury and natural beauty, Palm Cay Marina on New Providence Island provides top-notch amenities and easy access to both Nassau’s vibrant culture and nearby private beaches.

How can we personalize our Bahamas yacht charter to include both relaxation and adventure?

Personalizing your private yacht experience in the Bahamas is all about balancing leisure with adventure. Opt for a luxury yacht equipped with all the amenities for relaxation, including spacious decks, jacuzzis, and fine dining options. Incorporate destinations like The Exuma Islands for a mix of relaxation on white beaches and adventure with activities like swimming with the swimming pigs or snorkeling at Thunderball Grotto. Adventure enthusiasts might enjoy catamaran charters for a stable and spacious option, ideal for water sports and exploring secluded beaches. Include stops at Green Turtle Cay for a quaint island experience and Norman’s Cay for snorkeling around the intriguing plane wreck. Tailor your itinerary to include both wild and untouched islands for privacy and iconic spots like Harbour Island for a taste of local culture and history.

The Bahamas – An Adventurer’s Paradise

Scattered like dabs of possibility on an adventurer’s palette, the Bahamas are ready-made for exploration and there is no better way to explore than on a Bahamas yacht charter or yacht rental. From pirates to rum smugglers, wily go-getters have converged and caroused on the country’s 700 islands and 2,400 cays for centuries.

So why travel by private yacht charter? The Bahamas almost demands it. There’s sailing to Abacos. Diving Andros’ blue holes. Kayaking the countless cays around Exumas. Lounging on Eleuthera’s beaches. Pondering pirates in Nassau. Indeed, there’s a Bahamian island to match most every water-and-sand-based compulsion on a Bahamas luxury yacht charter. Each of them framed by a backdrop of gorgeous, mesmerizing blues and greens. All this means that once you know  how to charter a yacht , there’s no excuse not to. Paint your own adventure, the palette awaits.

Why Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas?

It is true what they say – life is better in the Bahamas! Here are just some of the many reasons you should choose the Bahamas as your next superyacht charter destination:

• Over 700 pristine islands and cays to explore
• Easy access through international airport in Nassau
• Laid-back island culture and charm
• Vibrant coral reefs and world-class fishing and diving
• Vast selection of private charter boats available year round

Yachts For Charter In The Bahamas

What are the best islands to explore in the Bahamas?

With over 700 islands to choose from, the Bahamas truly has something for everyone. Whether you seek adventure, are looking for unique experiences, or are just looking for a relaxing vacation, the is the place to visit.

Whether snorkeling, exploring the uninhabited cays, or enjoying a cocktail onboard, the Exumas’ crisp palette of ocean blues provides the perfect backdrop for  creating memories With 365 cays extending over 100 miles, there is more than enough adventure to go around on a private yacht charter. Bahamas favorite Staniel Cay is an activity hub and a favorite destination of yachters. Across from Staniel Cay is the James Bond famous Thunderball Grotto, a great place to snorkel or scuba. Pretend to be Robinson Crusoe for the day in the Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park. Swim in bath-like waters with friendly sea pigs on Pig Beach. The Exumas offer a Bahamas luxury yacht charter vacation with a difference

Abaco Islands

The largely uninhabited Abaco Islands lie less than 200 miles east of South Florida, and are easily accessible by flying into Marsh Harbour. Great Abaco and Little Abaco, along with smaller barrier cays make up the island chain. They are protected by the third largest barrier reef in the world and are an excellent destination for fishing, diving and water sports. Your  superyacht crew  will recommend some excellent spots to visit, including Great Guana Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Spanish Cay, Green Turle Cay, and Hope Town on Elbow Cay. With similar weather to South Florida, the Abaco Islands are the perfect spot to escape with friends and family onboard a Bahamas luxury yacht charter.

You haven’t experienced a real escape until you’ve vacationed in Eleuthera, one of our all-time favorite yacht charter destinations . Simple breathtaking views are the norm, deserted expanses of white- or pink-sand beaches are your playground, and islanders are genuinely friendly. The low-key, relax-and-relax-some-more island vacation isn’t for everyone, but when you need to recharge your batteries on a private yacht charter. Make sure to stop at Harbour Island, often called the Nantucket of the Caribbean, offering 3 miles of pink beaches. North of Eleuthera is the fishing community of Spanish Wells, which resembles a tropical New England town.

Out Islands

East of the Exumas and South of Eleuthera, the Southern Bahamas feels unspoiled by the modern world. Cat Island is dotted with relics of old Pineapple plantations from early colonial times. Cat Island is also home to the highest point in the Bahamas complete with a stone abbey hermitage at the peak. South of Cat Island, San Salvador rises up out of the ocean –  the location of Christopher Columbus’ landfall. San Salvador is surrounded by a steep drop off of the ocean floor, perfect for fishing and diving. The Out Islands are begging to be explored by the adventurous or those who want to just get away from the hustle and bustle on a Bahamas luxury yacht charter.

Let us organise your perfect Bahamas yacht charter experience with our bespoke itineraries

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

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

Charter Yacht Options in the Bahamas

• By Yachting Staff
• April 25, 2024

With the spring yacht-charter season heating up in the Bahamas, several top companies are promoting yachts that are looking to secure more bookings into the summer months.

First up is the 180-foot Amels Amigos , a 2017 build that is part of the Edmiston charter fleet. The owner will consider short-term charters with a minimum of four days, including during July and August.

Amigos is a Tim Heywood design that accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, including a full-beam master with a private terrace. The VIP is on the main deck forward with a foldout balcony. Interiors are by Laura Sessa. Up on the sundeck, there’s a countercurrent pool along with alfresco dining shaded by the superstructure. There’s also an outdoor cinema. Down at water level, the beach club has a steam room.

Also headed to the Bahamas with availability this spring is Eros , a 121-foot Ferretti that’s part of the Fraser charter fleet. This yacht is a 2019 build that most recently was refitted in 2022. The owner is offering a reduced weekly base rate of $130,000 to encourage bookings.

Accommodations aboard Eros are for 10 to 12 guests in five staterooms. There also are quarters for seven crew. Also notable is that Starlink is included with each charter, so guests can have online access virtually all the time.

Fraser says another yacht in its charter fleet, the 142-foot Christensen Grade I , is also offering a reduced weekly base rate of $130,000 in the Bahamas.

Grade I is a 1995 build that most recently was refitted in 2018. The yacht accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, and has modern features such as at-anchor stabilizers for guest comfort on board.

Yet another option in the Bahamas is the 144-foot Burger Crossed Sabre , which recently joined the fleet at CharterWorld.

Crossed Sabre has a seven-stateroom layout, including a king-berth stateroom on the main deck, a queen-berth VIP on the bridge deck, and three queen-berth staterooms on the lower deck. The remaining lower-deck staterooms have twin or convertible berths. Notable features aboard Crossed Sabre include a folding balcony in the salon, a sundeck hot tub, and an elevator with wheelchair accessibility.

What else is happening in the Bahamas? The Potlatch Club boutique hotel is expected to open on Eleuthera in June. It’s a property that was popular with visitors in the 1960s and ’70s before it fell into disrepair in the 1980s. It has been restored with garden cottages, ocean-facing cottages and ocean-view villas, along with a restaurant, bar, spa and gym.

Chartering in the Bahamas, a Destination for Every Season

The Bahamas are a year-round yacht charter destination with weather patterns that closely mirror South Florida, making for an incredible climate for vacationing with a boat charter. Bahamas winters are cooler than the rest of the Caribbean, and temperatures can occasionally drop to the mid-to-low 60s, especially between December and February. Late spring and early summer have the best weather for boat rentals, with warm temperatures, calmer waters, sunny skies, and fair winds.

Bahamas Crewed Motor Yacht Charters

Chartering your own private motor yacht is the best way to see the islands of the Bahamas. Crewed motor yachts are the perfect way to island-hop, seeing as many attractions as possible and then relaxing offshore to enjoy water sports and beachside activities. Motor boats are the most popular type of yacht charter in the Bahamas. Crewed motor yachts also carry a wide range of recreational gear, from wakeboards and standup paddleboards to kayaks and Jet Skis, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

108ft / 32m

Bahamas Crewed Catamaran Charters

Why choose a crewed catamaran for a luxury yacht rental? Bahamas daydreams conjure up images of lounging in the sun, and with a chartered catamaran, you can make the dream a reality on your own portable island! These wide-bodied vessels offer generous deck space and are more stable than motor yachts. What better way for both the sun-worshipper and the avid snorkeler to explore the reefs and sea life? With well-appointed living conditions, catamaran charters are perfect not only for the first-time sailor but for anyone wishing to relax with plenty of room to spread out.

Explore with a Boat Charter: The Bahamas

Want to learn more about the excitement you’ll find on your Bahamas yacht charter? These are the main cruising areas and yacht charter itineraries with our favorite stops, exhilarating adventures, and unforgettable experiences you won’t want to miss on your private crewed boat charter in the Bahamas.

Worldwide Boat and our experienced captains can help customize the perfect mix of must-see destinations and unique adventures with your boat rental. Nassau, Bahamas, and other exciting destinations will be yours to explore!

This stretch of stunning islands and cays is the perfect spot for Bahamas yacht charters. Idyllic beaches, hidden coves, and dozens of world-class ports make the Exumas some of the country’s top cruising grounds.

Here, you can swim with the pigs at Pig Beach on Big Major Cay or swim with nurse sharks at Compass Cay: They’ll be so close you can touch them!

The Exuma’s protected waters also offer a calm location to paddleboard, kayak, and Jet Ski around the islands. Don’t forget to visit Staniel Cay and nearby Thunderball Grotto! This fantastic underwater cave system is teeming with exotic marine life and is such an amazing location for snorkeling, diving, and wading that it was a location for two James Bond movies!

Nassau is the starting and ending port for most yacht charters in the Bahamas. Once dubbed “The Republic of Pirates,” Nassau today features world-class marinas, upscale hotels, resorts, and golf courses. In addition, it is also a great destination on its own, with beautiful beaches and great snorkeling

The Atlantis

The famed Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island is a world of its own, offering spas, world-class restaurants, nightclubs, and more! Snorkel alongside tropical fish in the man-made Ruins of Atlantis, stroll the bottom of the shark exhibit, feed stingrays in the lagoon, or just relax at one of 11 different swimming pools.

Don’t start your charter without spending a day at the Atlantis and enjoying all of the amenities this luxury resort offers, from swimming with dolphins to trying your luck at the best casino in the Caribbean.

With architecture inspired by British settlers, Eleuthera is a casual island of rocky bluffs and low-lying wetlands with magnificent coral reef backdrops. Eleuthera’s beaches are world-famous. Surfer’s Beach is just two miles south of Gregory Town, where southwest winds blow breaks in from the Atlantic. It’s a surfing and kite-surfing mecca! Even if you just want to watch, the two-mile stretch of beach has some of the best sugary-soft white sand in the Bahamas.

Harbour Island

Northwest of Eleuthera lies Harbour Island, which was named by Travel + Leisure magazine as “the best island in the Caribbean” not once but twice. Known for its romantic pink-sand beaches, upscale shore-side accommodations, and picturesque scenery, Harbour Island offers plenty for charter guests to explore.

Located just south of Miami, the two main islands, Great Abaco and Little Abaco, as well as picturesque cays offer the adventurer truly incredible beaches and plenty to do, from deep-sea fishing to snorkeling in six amazing national parks. This is the boating capital of the Bahamas, and sailing on a luxury yacht through its mangrove-covered islands and cays will leave you with the quintessential Caribbean memory.

Bahamas Yacht Charters: What To See & Do

The Bahamas is one of the world’s most revered destinations for yacht rentals. The Bahamas are a paradise of postcard-worthy beaches, beautiful tropical weather, and amazing island adventures.

Some of the Greatest Beaches in the World

The beaches of the Bahamas form such an extraordinary collection of sand and warm turquoise waters that astronauts have praised them from space.

Whether you’d like to swim or snorkel, truly relax on a deserted beach, or head to the waves for some water sports, the Bahamas has plenty of stretches of sand for fun and adventure. Favorites include Pig Beach on Big Major Cay, Dean’s Blue Hole in the Exumas, Rose Island near Nassau, Pink Sands Beach on Harbour Island, Surfer’s Beach on Eleuthera, and Guana Cay and Tahiti Beach in the Abacos.

When you think you’ve tried them all, find your own deserted stretch of sand along an unnamed island to enjoy sunset cocktails or even a private beach picnic.

Crystal-Clear, Aquamarine Waters

The waters of the Bahamas are bathwater-warm year-round, hovering in the low 80s most of the year. Yet beyond their beckoning warmth, they’re also the clearest in all of the Caribbean. Expect 100-foot visibility in most seasons. That makes this the perfect destination for a cruising adventure. Whether you’d like to explore the vibrant and colorful corals, swim with sharks, or dive a blue hole, the islands’ inviting waters are the perfect setting.

Amazing Marine Life

The waters of the Bahamas boast a variety of marine ecosystems and an unparalleled opportunity to experience sea life. Witness massive humpbacks breaking surface waters, or swim with exotic tropical reef fish at James Bond’s Thunderball Grotto. Find world-class marlins and sailfish while deep-sea fishing in the Abacos. Stand at the bottom of the awe-inspiring shark exhibit at Atlantis, or feed stingrays in the lagoon on Paradise Island. Find Dolphin Cay and swim with dolphins at one of the largest marine habitats and animal rescue facilities in the world. With a Bahamas yacht charter, you can swim with the pigs at Pig Beach at Big Major Cay or dive into Compass Cay and get so close to nurse sharks that you can touch them!

World-Class Sporting Adventures

The warm turquoise seas of the Bahamas offer more than just wildlife. The clear, shallow waters are also the world’s largest playground. You can really do it all in the water: paddle-boarding, Jet Ski tours, kayaking hidden coves, wakeboarding, knee-boarding, and water-skiing. Plus, most crewed charter yachts include a garage of gear to help you have fun in the water.

Head to Surfer’s Beach in Eleuthera for big wintertime swells; it’s perfect for surfing or kitesurfing. Staniel Cay is a great paddleboarding and kayaking spot, thanks to its protected, calm waters. And taking a Jet Ski jaunt around the islands is always fun.

Great Golfing

Test your land legs at the Ocean Club Golf Course on Paradise Island, recognized as one of the top ten resort courses in North America and the Caribbean by Golf Digest. Or set sail to Emerald Bay to play a round at its Greg Norman-designed course.

Bahamas Bucket List

• Swim with nurse sharks at Compass Cay
• Make friends with the famous beach-dwelling pigs at Big Major Cay
• Take a romantic stroll on Pink Sands Beach on Harbour Island
• Enjoy sunset cocktails or a beach picnic on a deserted stretch of sand

A Bahamas Yacht Charter - Where to start from.

You have come to the right place to learn about options to consider on a private yacht charter in the Bahamas, what type of yacht might work best, what’s involved in choosing and booking a private yachts, and how unique your Bahamas charter can be.

Central Bahamas

Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. Nassau is the quintessential Bahamas hot spot! The town of Nassau is centrally located on New Providence Island with a large International airport and major resorts. Many Bahamas charters start here for its convenience to both the Exumas and Eleuthera. Eleuthera is a Bahamian island bordering the Atlantic to the east, and it is a dream Bahamas destination. The sand is pink and the houses are painted in picture perfect bright colors. Eleuthera is warm and inviting, and one can start a vacation there or ideally start in Nassau.

Southern Bahamas

The islands of the Exumas are picture book perfect in every way and one of the most popular destinations for Bahamas yacht charters, with a typical boarding in Nassau. The beaches are beautiful, the area is secluded, and the natural wildlife is exotic and plentiful. The Exuma Land and Sea Park is part of what allows this part of the Bahamas to remain so perfect. Further south would be the Turks and Caicos which are not common for bahamas charters with few yachts based there, if any.

Northern Bahamas

The Abacos Islands are amoungst the more Northern part of the Bahamas and are a much less travelled Bahamas yacht charter destination. When you leave the quiet comfort of your charter yacht, you will be pleasantly surprised to find the warm atmosphere of the islands itself. There are smaller cays to the east and north such as Treasure Cay, Man O'War, Green Turtle, and Elbow Cay to name a few - who could resist names such as these? The Abacos, while not as popular a Bahamas yacht destination, can be an option. Freeport and Grand Bahama are much more popular for land based vacations than charters.

Be Confident Booking Your Bahamas Yacht charter.

When planning a vacation of this magnitude confidence is of the utmost importance. You need to feel confident in the people you are working with, so that you can relax and enjoy your vacation and the time leading up to it. We encourage clients to call us and benefit from our decades of booking Bahamas yacht charters for clients on yachts large and small. You'll speak to a experienced authority on fully crewed Bahamas yacht charters, and there is no obligation on your end. Best of all, our services are free to you.

Will it be custom planned?

Yes, like all of the crewed charters we book, will be custom planned just for you! You will visit the islands you want to visit, when you want to visit them, and stay as long as you wish! Your captain will map out an itinerary to suit you based on your preferences, but remember, it's flexible! Interested in seeing a sample cruise itinerary ?

When to Charter in The Bahamas.

There are but a few variations to The Bahamas being a year-round yachting destination. As these islands share weather trends with southern Florida, winters are much warmer than most of the United States; however there can be an occasional cool down from time to time. The summers have a much more stable weather pattern. The waters are calm and the days are hot, with an average temperature of 85 degrees. To get a feel for what the weather looks like from month to month, check out Bahamas weather .

Client Reviews from Bahamas Charters.

The perfect marriage of tropical utopia and the attraction of a big city make the place a favorite among travelers.

Harbour Isle

One of the best beaches of the Bahamas, Pink Sands Beach, is the way to go.

The pale pink shade of the sand caused by the remains of the Foraminifera insects, mixing with the sand, is a sight to behold. Walk barefoot on the ever cool sand and explore the ribbons of the blue water while on a trip on a   Bahamas private boat charter.

Staniel Key

Swim in via the maze of underwater entrances to satiate your eyes to a breathtaking view of sponges, colorful fish, an occasional tortoise, lobster, coral and other marine life. Come to big Major Cay and acquaint yourself to the swimming pigs on the uninhabited island, who actually come out to the Skiff or dingy to Greet You.
