Admiral yachts are built by the Italian yard ADMV, based in La Spezia, and occupy a distinguished position in the mid-to-large motor yacht market. The yard produces full-displacement and semi-displacement steel-and-aluminium vessels from 30 to 75 metres, each designed to a high Italian standard of aesthetic and structural quality. For Andros Island in the Bahamas, a destination defined by its barrier reef, its bonefish flats and its near-total absence of tourist infrastructure, an Admiral provides a practical and elegant platform for exploration.
Three Admiral yachts operate across Bahamas and Caribbean waters, typically in the 35-to-55-metre range. These are solidly built, well-maintained vessels with experienced crew teams and the range to reach Andros comfortably from Nassau. Tender garages are well-equipped for the combination of reef diving and flat-water exploration that Andros demands. The interior standards reflect the Italian production tradition of combining quality materials with practical layout.
Charter rates for Admiral yachts in this region fall between approximately 60,000 and 150,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. High season runs December through April. The Bahamas bonefish season peaks in winter when tarpon and permit are also present on the flats.
Andros rewards a week’s slow exploration. Fresh Creek on the east coast sits beside the barrier reef and provides the base for wall diving. Nicholl’s Town to the north has a sheltered anchorage and local supplies. Mangrove Cay to the south is accessible from the Bight and provides flat-water anchoring for snorkelling days. Behring Point on the west coast is quiet, warm and productive for fishing. Congo Town near the southern tip rounds out the island with a handful of local restaurants.
