Lürssen of Bremen builds at the extreme end of the motor yacht market: full-custom vessels from 60 to 140 metres, each conceived to a specific owner’s vision and executed with German engineering rigour at a scale that few yards in the world can approach. The result is a fleet of yachts that combine unprecedented internal volume with the structural confidence to operate in any sea state and any ocean. For Andros Island in the Bahamas, a destination that rewards vessels with range, dependability and the ability to make any anchorage feel like a private resort, a Lürssen is the definition of appropriate.
Four Lürssen yachts operate across Bahamas and Caribbean waters, typically in the 60-to-90-metre range and beyond. These are professionally managed vessels with crew teams of fifteen or more, stabilisation systems that make overnight passages genuinely restful and beach clubs that make every anchorage accessible and social. The ranges involved in southern Bahamian cruising are well within the operational parameters of any Lürssen.
Charter rates for Lürssen yachts in this region begin at approximately 300,000 euros per week before expenses and rise significantly for the largest custom builds. The advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, drinks, berthing and local fees. Specialist provisioning brokers handle the logistics for this category of vessel. High season runs December through April.
From Andros, a Lürssen makes the barrier reef at Fresh Creek, the flats at Behring Point, the anchorage at Nicholl’s Town and the blue holes along the east coast all feel like entries in a private itinerary rather than stops on a charter route. The vessel’s size and capabilities transform a destination that rewards exploration into one that also rewards simply arriving.
