The Berry Islands combine two qualities that are rare together in a popular sailing destination: genuine solitude and easy access from a major provisioning base. At 35 miles north-east of Nassau, the chain of cays stretching from Great Harbour Cay to Chub Cay sees a fraction of the charter traffic that passes through the Exumas or Abacos, yet the provisioning, refuelling, and clearance infrastructure of Nassau is never far away. For a Lurssen charter yacht, among the largest and most capable vessels available for private charter anywhere in the world, the Berry Islands offer both the deep-water anchorages that large yachts require and the solitude to justify a voyage to a genuinely uncommon destination. Lurssen builds from its yard in Bremen, Germany, and has delivered some of the most significant superyachts ever launched, including numerous vessels above 100 metres. The four Lurssen charter yachts available in the Bahamas region are among the rarest and most impressive vessels in the charter market, carrying amenities and crew of a scale that the Berry Islands have rarely if ever seen. Weekly charter rates for Lurssen yachts in the Berry Islands range from approximately 200,000 to 800,000 euros or more. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent for fuel, provisions from Nassau, and any berthing fees at the marinas. Provision at Nassau and confirm berth dimensions at Great Harbour Cay before departure. The itinerary covers Great Harbour Cay on arrival and then ranges south through the uninhabited cays to Chub Cay and back, with the full tender and toy programme deployed from the beach club at each stop.
