VSY yachts, known for refined motor yacht construction and careful interior specification, bring a performance-focused approach to the Bimini charter market. The island sits just 50 nautical miles from Miami, making the crossing from Florida short enough that passage-making ability takes second place to anchorage comfort and fishing credentials, but VSY’s efficient hull forms handle the Bahama Bank crossing with ease in most winter sea conditions. Charter-available VSY yachts in the Bahamas run in the 35 to 55-metre range, carrying six to ten guests with professional crews. Bimini rewards the visit on multiple fronts: the protected harbour between North and South Bimini carries exceptional water clarity, the bonefishing flats along South Bimini shore provide excellent sport for fly fishermen, and the offshore sportfishing grounds at Gun Cay have sustained the island’s angling reputation since Hemingway’s era. Weekly charter rates for VSY vessels sit between approximately 75,000 and 150,000 euros before the advance provisioning allowance of 30 per cent. That allowance covers fuel from Bimini Bay Marina, food and drinks, harbour dues and any applicable Bahamian fishing permit fees. The island has limited provisioning resources, so most charters arrive with full stores from Nassau or Florida. Peak season runs from November through April.
