Cat Island is 77 kilometres long, rarely six kilometres wide, and home to the highest point in the Bahamas. It receives a fraction of the yacht traffic that the Exumas attract, which means the west coast anchorages are quiet even in January. Trinity Yachts builds large American displacement motor yachts in Louisiana, prioritising interior volume, fuel range, and the kind of structural robustness that supports extended offshore passages.
Trinity yachts available in the Bahamas typically run from 45 to 60 metres, with six to eight guest cabins, crews of ten to fourteen, and interior arrangements closer to a private residence than a conventional charter yacht. Sky lounges, dedicated gyms, and beach clubs capable of deploying multiple tenders are standard at this level.
Weekly charter rates for Trinity yachts at Cat Island range from 142,000 to 430,000 euros per week, with an advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, food, drinks and marina fees. The Bahamas applies no VAT to charter, a meaningful saving on a weekly fee at this level.
Cat Island suits the Trinity model because the yacht’s range and tank capacity allow a week-long itinerary without relying on infrastructure. Fernandez Bay on the west is the signature anchorage; Hawk’s Nest Marina in the south provides the only reliable fuel point on the island. The reef at Port Howe, the Atlantic-facing east coast beaches, and the Conception Island marine reserve to the south complete a week-long circuit with little retracing of route.
