Lürssen is the pre-eminent builder of very large custom superyachts, operating from its Bremen shipyard with a 150-year history that encompasses naval vessels, river cruisers and some of the most complex superyacht commissions ever undertaken. Four Lürssen yachts charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean, each a bespoke steel displacement motor yacht typically exceeding 80 metres in length, built to technical and material standards that leave no detail to chance. Ragged Island is a compelling destination for a Lürssen charter week, not only for the solitude and beauty of the southern Bahamas, but because these vessels’ range, self-sufficiency and systems redundancy make remote itineraries genuinely comfortable rather than just technically feasible. The overnight passage from Nassau positions the charter in waters that see almost no other traffic of this scale. Charter rates for Lürssen yachts in the Bahamas range from 500,000 to well over 1,000,000 euros per week, reflecting the extraordinary scale and specification of the vessels. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies. The season is November through May, with the Christmas and New Year period booking years in advance for some hulls. Ragged Island’s Duncan Town and the Jumentos Cays serve as waypoints on itineraries that extend south toward Acklins, Mayaguana and the Turks and Caicos for the most ambitious charter groups.
