Turquoise Yachts, built at the Antalya shipyard on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, produces fully custom expedition motor yachts with range and structural capability suited to serious offshore voyaging. In Bimini, where charter guests arrive across 50 nautical miles of open Atlantic from Florida, those expedition credentials provide comfort and confidence: the hulls handle the kind of sea conditions that can make the Bahama Bank crossing uncomfortable in a lighter production vessel, and the extended fuel capacity means range is never a constraint in Bahamian and Caribbean waters. Charter-available Turquoise yachts in the Bahamas run from around 40 to 55 metres, carrying eight to twelve guests with professional crews. The expedition pedigree of these vessels suits Bimini well: the island offers limited shore facilities but exceptional water and fishing, and the self-sufficient character of a Turquoise means the yacht provides everything guests need without depending on island infrastructure. Weekly rates run from approximately 95,000 to 200,000 euros before the advance provisioning allowance of 30 per cent, covering fuel at Bimini Bay Marina, food, drinks and marina fees. Peak season runs from December through April. For guests wanting to extend beyond Bimini, the expedition range of a Turquoise makes passages to the Abacos, Nassau or the Exumas practical additions to the charter itinerary.
