Sanlorenzo, the Viareggio builder founded in 1958, is one of Italy’s most consistently admired semi-custom superyacht yards, producing motor yachts from 24 to 68 metres with a design philosophy centred on clean proportions, open deck living and a close relationship between interior and exterior spaces. In the Bahamian market, Sanlorenzo’s emphasis on alfresco entertaining and well-planned deck areas translates directly to the anchor-and-swim programme that Freeport rewards. Port Lucaya Marina provides the operational hub for a Sanlorenzo charter in Freeport: full provisioning, fuel and customs clearance for vessels up to 70 metres. From there, Gold Rock Beach in Lucayan National Park is the standout day excursion , a long, empty beach on the south shore of Grand Bahama within a protected national park, accessible by tender in under 30 minutes. UNEXSO at Port Lucaya offers reef dives at Theo’s Wreck and blue hole sessions at Ben’s Cave for certified divers. Pelican Point and Dead Man’s Reef provide excellent snorkelling for those who prefer to stay closer to the surface. Charter rates for Sanlorenzo yachts in the Bahamas run from approximately 45,000 to 300,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 per cent covers fuel, provisioning, dockage and crew gratuity. December through April is the primary Bahamas charter season. A specialist broker can identify the right Sanlorenzo model for the party size and desired itinerary across Grand Bahama and the wider Bahamas.
