Yacht charters
in The Bahamas

Bahamas yacht charters offer time to explore an Atlantic archipelago of 700 islands and more than 2,000 cays, southeast of Florida and north of Cuba. White-sand beaches, turquoise shallows and island towns create a varied setting for swimming, snorkelling and days ashore.

YCN offers multi-day yacht charters across three Bahamas destinations: The Exumas, The Abacos, and Eleuthera & Harbour Island. Discover Exuma sandbars, the Abacos’ harbour towns or Harbour Island’s pink-sand beaches. Choose the island group that suits your holiday and allow time to enjoy both the yacht and the places along your route.

Planning a private yacht charter in The Bahamas

The Bahamas spans very different charter areas, so the first decision is not simply which yacht to choose but which island group best fits the available time. Bimini, Nassau, the Exumas and the Abacos create different routing and embarkation requirements.

Choose the right Bahamas region

Explore Exumas yacht charters for island-hopping and cays, Abacos yacht charters for a different northern Bahamas cruising area, or Bimini yacht charters for a destination closer to South Florida.

When to charter The Bahamas

Bahamas charter planning is highly date- and weather-dependent. Seasonal conditions, yacht positioning and the intended island group should all be checked before committing to a route.

Where to embark

Nassau is an important term-charter gateway, while some yachts may be positioned elsewhere in The Bahamas. A charter originating in Miami requires separate planning for the international crossing, yacht suitability and entry procedures; see Miami to Bahamas yacht charters.

Choosing a yacht

For multi-day Bahamas cruising, consider guest accommodations, range, tender setup, water toys, outdoor living and the yacht’s draft and operating profile. Yacht position can be as important as size when planning a seven-day itinerary.
