Amels is a Dutch shipyard under the Damen Group umbrella, best known for its Limited Editions series of semi-custom steel motor yachts. The yard delivers vessels at approximately two-year intervals using platform hulls that reduce build time without standardising interiors. For charter clients, the practical outcome is a fleet of vessels in the 55 to 83 metre range with current systems, generous guest space, and well-maintained values.
Eleven Amels yachts operate in the Bahamas and Caribbean charter market, giving clients genuine choice across sizes and interior styles. The fleet spans from around 55 to 83 metres, with guest capacities from ten to twelve and crew of fourteen or more on the larger vessels. Beach clubs, stabilisation systems, and full watersports packages are consistent features. Many Amels charter yachts include cinema rooms and formal dining for twelve.
Weekly charter rates for Amels yachts in the Bahamas range broadly from 150,000 to 500,000 euros depending on size and specification. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, provisions, port fees, and crew gratuity. Caribbean peak season runs December through April. With eleven vessels to choose from, availability is better than most superyacht builders, but the most popular sizes still book well in advance.
Eleven yachts operating in Bahamian waters signals something worth noting: this is charter territory that rewards ambition. Inagua sits 400 miles south of Nassau and is seldom reached by organised tour traffic. An Amels yacht with proper fuel range covers the crossing from Nassau in a day and returns north whenever the itinerary demands. The flamingo reserves, reef dives, and bonefish lagoons around Union Creek provide enough programme to fill a week without leaving the island.
