Eleuthera is one of the less crowded islands on the Bahamas charter circuit, a 180-kilometre island with an Atlantic east coast, a sheltered Bank-side west coast, and some of the most distinctive natural features in the archipelago. Harbour Island at the north has a pink sand beach that stretches for three miles and the small colonial town of Dunmore Town. The Glass Window Bridge marks the island narrowest point. Hatchet Bay provides the only fully enclosed harbour on the island. CRN is an Italian yard in Ancona, part of the Ferretti Group, producing custom steel motor yachts from 43 to 87 metres with a focus on large volume, long-range passage capability and individual design commissions.
CRN yachts available in the Bahamas run from 50 to 70 metres, with five to eight guest cabins, crews of twelve to sixteen, and wide-beam interiors that use the full width of the steel hull for generous main saloons and expansive sun decks. The structural build suits blue-water passages, and several CRN charter yachts winter in the Caribbean after transiting from the Mediterranean each autumn.
Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts at Eleuthera run from 265,000 to 600,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent. No Bahamian VAT applies.
Harbour Island off the northern tip of Eleuthera, reached by water taxi from the Government Dock, has a pink sand beach stretching three miles and the colonial village of Dunmore Town. Hatchet Bay on the west coast provides a fully enclosed harbour and fuel point. Governor Harbour is the main provisioning town. Current Cut, the narrow tidal pass between Eleuthera and Current Island, runs fast at peak tide and is navigable at slack water. The Glass Window Bridge at the island narrowest point offers a view of both the Atlantic and the Bahamas Bank simultaneously.
