A sailing yacht charter trades a little speed for something quieter and more elemental. Under sail the yacht heels gently, the engines fall silent and the passage between islands becomes part of the pleasure rather than a transfer.
Sailing yachts and catamarans in Acklins & Crooked Island range from nimble performance cruisers to large crewed sloops and ketches. Catamarans in particular suit these waters, with shallow draft for close reef anchorages, wide stable decks and bright twin hull interiors. Every yacht carries crew who handle the sails so guests simply enjoy the ride.
Weekly rates range from about 40,000 Euros for smaller sailing yachts and catamarans to over 800,000 for large crewed sailing superyachts, with many fine options near 150,000 to 250,000 Euros. A charter is quoted plus expenses, with an advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covering fuel, food, drinks and dockage. The best yachts and dates book far ahead, so early enquiry secures both.
Around Acklins and Crooked Island, the appeal is space and solitude, with the vast Bight of Acklins, world class bonefishing flats and anchorages you may have entirely to yourselves. This is the Bahamas at its most remote and unspoilt. Speak to our charter team to plan an itinerary and secure the right yacht.
