Turquoise Yachts builds in Istanbul and has established a strong reputation for producing large motor yachts and sailing yachts with a Turkish craftsmanship tradition applied to international design standards. The yard’s approach combines European-trained naval architecture with production efficiency, resulting in vessels that offer impressive value at 50-plus metres without compromising the finish quality that charter guests in this category expect. Acklins and Crooked Island, with their combination of protected inner waters and exposed ocean reef, provide the kind of varied conditions a Turquoise is built to handle.
Four Turquoise yachts operate across Bahamas and Caribbean waters, typically in the 45-to-65-metre range. These are well-maintained vessels with professional crew teams of ten to sixteen, stabilisation systems suited to overnight passages and tender garages that carry the full equipment suite expected in this market. The interior arrangements are typically spacious, with six or more guest cabins and main-deck owner suites.
Charter rates for Turquoise yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean run from approximately 150,000 to 350,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. High season runs December through April with significant premiums at Christmas and New Year.
From Acklins, a Turquoise’s size and range make the entire southern Bahamian chain accessible in a single week. Colonel Hill on Crooked Island provides the sheltered first anchorage. Landrail Point gives access to Atlantic reef diving. The Bight of Acklins and its uninhabited cays, including the pristine beaches at Lovely Bay and Spring Point, provide the kind of anchoring experience that few destinations in the Bahamas can still offer.
