Westport, based in Westport, Washington, builds fibreglass and composite motor yachts in the 40 to 50-metre range engineered for extended cruising range and comfortable passage-making in varying sea states. In The Exumas, their displacement efficiency makes them well-suited to the Bahamian pace of exploration: fuel costs are moderate, the hull handles the Exuma Sound chop without drama, and the range allows the crew to plan a full chain itinerary from Highbourne Cay to George Town without resupply concerns. The three Westport yachts available for charter in this region carry six to ten guests with professional crew of four to eight, providing an attentive and informal charter atmosphere suited to family groups and guests on their first visit to the Bahamas. Charter weeks from December through April cover the full Bahamian high season, with January and February offering the most settled conditions and clearest water for snorkelling and diving. Rates start from around 40,000 euros per week for a 30-metre vessel and reach 85,000 euros for the largest examples. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel at displacement speeds, provisioning from Nassau wholesalers and George Town markets, marina fees at Staniel Cay Yacht Club and Emerald Bay, and all drinks and watersports consumables. Westport charters in The Exumas deliver strong value for a quality private vessel in one of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the Atlantic.
