VSY, Vittoria Shipyard, builds custom displacement motor yachts in northern Italy with an emphasis on sea-keeping, range and the considered interior architecture that rewards extended charter voyages rather than short marina visits. Three VSY yachts charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean, each built to a specific owner’s brief with a consistent focus on stability and comfortable passage-making. Ragged Island is an appropriate destination for a VSY charter: the yard’s displacement hull philosophy prioritises safety and comfort over speed, and the overnight Nassau-to-Ragged-Island passage is exactly the kind of extended transit these vessels handle with ease. The crew quarters and systems redundancy on a VSY are designed for voyages of this nature. Charter rates for VSY yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 100,000 to 250,000 euros per week depending on hull size and year. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly 30 percent applies, covering fuel, provisions, dockage and crew gratuities. The season is November through May. VSY’s efficient displacement hulls consume fuel predictably on the Nassau transit, and once in the Jumentos Cays the local passages are short enough to keep weekly fuel costs modest by comparison with longer itineraries.
