VSY, the Viareggio Superyachts yard, operates at the 40 to 70 metre scale with a fully custom build model that draws on Viareggio’s centuries-old shipbuilding tradition. Charter vessels from the VSY fleet are built to exacting owner specifications, with interior design programmes by accomplished Italian studios and engineering packages that reflect the highest standards of the yard’s home city. In the Bahamian market, Freeport provides VSY charter guests with a deep-water harbour capable of accommodating vessels across the yard’s full size range. Port Lucaya Marina handles provisioning, fuel and customs clearance, leaving the yacht free to operate its excursion programme independently. Gold Rock Beach in Lucayan National Park, UNEXSO’s world-class dive centre and the snorkelling at Pelican Point and Dead Man’s Reef are all accessible by tender from a Freeport anchorage. The yacht’s range also allows overnight passages to Nassau, the Exumas or the Abacos, making Freeport a versatile staging point for a broader Bahamian itinerary. Charter rates for VSY yachts in the Bahamas run from approximately 90,000 to 250,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 per cent for fuel, provisioning, dockage and crew gratuity. December through April is peak Bahamas season. A specialist broker can advise on available VSY vessels and positioning options for a Freeport-based programme.
