Perini Navi is an Italian shipyard with facilities in La Spezia and Viareggio, specialising in aluminium sailing superyachts in the 40 to 88 metre range. The yard is known for its signature ketch and schooner rigs, hydraulic furling systems, and the capacity to deliver vessels that sail efficiently while carrying interior volumes comparable to motor yachts of similar length. Perini Navi yachts are the benchmark for serious sailing at superyacht scale.
Seven Perini Navi yachts operate in the Bahamas and Caribbean charter fleet. Lengths range from around 40 to over 80 metres, with crew sizes from eight to sixteen and guest capacities of eight to twelve. The fleet covers a range of rigging configurations and interior styles, all sharing the yard engineering discipline and the sailing performance that makes a Perini passage a genuine experience.
Weekly charter rates for Perini Navi yachts in the Bahamas range from around 80,000 to 300,000 euros per week depending on size. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent for fuel, provisioning, port dues, and crew gratuity. Caribbean sailing season peaks November through April. On seven vessels, selection is possible across size and budget, but the larger vessels book out early for the winter peak.
Long Island is natural Perini Navi territory. The trade winds run along the 80-mile coast with a consistency that rewards a ketch rig precisely, and the anchorages from Cape Santa Maria in the north to Clarence Town in the south are well spaced for a week that mixes sailing passages with time at anchor. Dean Blue Hole at the end of the itinerary provides a diving close that few Bahamian weeks can match.
