The Berry Islands represent a rare combination of accessibility and solitude in the Bahamas: just 35 miles from Nassau, yet far enough from the main charter routes to offer empty anchorages, deserted beaches, and a quietness that the more famous Exumas and Abacos can no longer guarantee. Chartering a Feadship in this context creates an experience of exceptional contrast: the very highest standard of floating accommodation against a backdrop of raw, simple Bahamian island nature. Feadship, the Royal Dutch consortium of De Vries and Van Lent shipyards, has built more than 800 bespoke steel motor yachts since 1949. Each vessel reflects an individual owner brief with no production template, and the twenty Feadship yachts available in the Bahamas region represent some of the most refined and carefully considered private yachts in the world. In the Berry Islands, these qualities of craft and comfort find a setting that amplifies them: there is nothing around to distract from the experience of the yacht itself and the simplicity of island life. Weekly charter rates for Feadship yachts in the Berry Islands run from approximately 95,000 to 500,000 euros or more depending on vessel size. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent for fuel, provisions from Nassau, marina fees, and drinks. Provision extensively at Nassau before departure. The itinerary covers Great Harbour Cay on arrival, then explores south through the uninhabited middle cays to Chub Cay and back, with daily variations across the bone-fishing flats and coral snorkel spots between the two ends of the group.
