Gulf Craft builds in the United Arab Emirates and has developed a range of motor yachts designed from the outset for tropical charter conditions: efficient cooling systems, corrosion-resistant construction and deck layouts optimised for the warm-water activities that Bahamian charter guests expect. For Andros Island, a destination of extraordinary reef and flat-water variety within an easy passage of Nassau, a Gulf Craft provides an accessible and practical platform for a week of genuine Caribbean exploration.
Three Gulf Craft yachts operate in Bahamas and Caribbean waters, offering an efficient entry point into the Andros cruising ground. The yard’s production expertise translates into well-maintained, straightforward vessels with reliable systems and the equipment complement that Bahamian charter demands. Tenders reach the barrier reef quickly, watermakers handle the island distances comfortably and the deck layouts favour the social use that warm-weather charter encourages.
Charter rates for Gulf Craft yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean typically fall between 40,000 and 80,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. Provisioning is handled in Nassau before the passage to Andros. High season runs December through April.
From Andros, a Gulf Craft provides accessible entry to one of the Bahamas’ finest cruising grounds. Fresh Creek on the east coast is the barrier reef base, with snorkelling and diving accessible to guests of all experience levels. Nicholl’s Town to the north has local facilities. Mangrove Cay in the South Bight provides flat-water anchoring. Behring Point opens the bonefish flats on the west coast for those who want to fly-fish the Great Bahama Bank.
