Perini Navi is an Italian builder specialising in high-performance sailing yachts from 30 to over 60 metres, produced at facilities in Viareggio and La Spezia. The yard is known for developing the automated sail-handling systems that allow shorthanded crews to manage large rigs, making Perini vessels unusually easy to operate relative to their size. Grand Bahama Island provides a varied environment for a Perini Navi charter, with the prevailing northeast trade winds in winter giving genuine sailing conditions across the Bahamas Bank and the option of motor-sailing along the lee shore of the island in lighter airs. Old Bahama Bay and Freeport Harbour both accommodate sailing yachts of this size with standard marina facilities. The seven Perini Navi yachts available in this region cover lengths from approximately 30 to 55 metres, each combining powerful rigs with refined interior arrangements suited to week-long passages. Weekly charter rates range from approximately 80,000 to 300,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel for motor-sailing passages, food, marina fees and beverages. December through April brings reliable northeast trades that favour the Perini sailing programme, with the Gulf Stream crossing to Grand Bahama from Florida often achievable entirely under sail for parties who enjoy a proper sailing departure. Peterson Cay reef, Lucayan caves and McLean Town bonefishing complement the sailing focus with non-sailing activities.
