Bahamas Yacht Charter
Bahamas yacht charters offer the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms. Each itinerary can be shaped around the way you want to travel, with the flexibility to move between time on the water, moments ashore and the simple pleasure of life on board.
Pristine Beaches & Turquoise Waters
The Bahamas stretches across more than 700 islands and 2,000 cays, giving cruising guests an unusually wide choice of beaches, from Harbour Island’s pale pink sand, coloured by crushed coral and shell, to the wide white crescents of the Exumas. Water clarity regularly exceeds 30 metres over the shallow Great Bahama Bank, which is why the sea reads in bands of turquoise, teal and cobalt rather than a single shade. Many of the best stretches, including much of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, are only reachable by boat.
Luxury Private Islands & Resorts
Private island ownership is unusually common in the Bahamas, with dozens of cays in the Exumas alone held by resorts, celebrities or club memberships, and several available for a full-island buyout during a visit. Paradise Island, connected to Nassau by bridge, anchors the country’s largest resort cluster, while smaller out-island properties in the Exumas and Abacos favour a handful of guests over large-scale development. The relative isolation of many cays means a resort stay or a private mooring can feel equally remote.
World-Class Sailing & Marine Adventures
Steady trade winds and mile after mile of sheltered water between the cays make the Exumas one of the most popular sailing grounds in the Caribbean basin, with the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park protecting roughly 280 square kilometres of reef, mangrove and seagrass as a no-take marine reserve. Divers can descend Dean’s Blue Hole off Long Island, the second-deepest known blue hole on Earth at around 202 metres, or explore the Andros Barrier Reef, the third-largest barrier reef in the world.
Iconic Island Experiences
Big Major Cay in the Exumas is home to the country’s original swimming pigs, a colony of feral pigs that wade out to greet passing boats, while nearby Thunderball Grotto, a collapsed limestone cave used as a filming location for two James Bond movies, floods with shafts of light at low tide for snorkellers to swim through. Staniel Cay, the small settlement nearest both, has become a common overnight stop for charter guests working through the Exuma chain, with a handful of bars and a grass airstrip of its own.
Bahamian Culture & Island Lifestyle
Junkanoo, the Bahamas’ signature street festival of costumed dancers, drums and cowbells, dates back to the era of slavery and now fills Nassau’s Bay Street before dawn every Boxing Day and New Year’s Day with elaborate handmade costumes judged in open competition. Away from Nassau, the out islands keep a slower rhythm built around fishing, conch cracked fresh at beach shacks, and small settlements where a single road often connects the whole community.

Bahamas Charter Guide

Everything you need to know before chartering a yacht in Bahamas, from the best time to visit to where to drop anchor.
When's the best time to charter a yacht in the Bahamas?

December through April offers the driest, calmest weather and the most reliable trade winds for sailing between the cays, though it is also the busiest and priciest period. May and June extend the good weather with fewer crowds, while hurricane season runs from June through November, peaking in August and September, when itineraries need more flexibility and closer attention to storm tracking. Winter cold fronts can occasionally bring a few days of wind and swell even in the dry season.

Which airport is best for joining a Bahamas charter?

Most charters join in Nassau, served by Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) with direct flights from the US East Coast and several European hubs, or in the Exumas via Exuma International Airport (GGT) near Georgetown for guests heading straight into the out islands. Grand Bahama’s Freeport International Airport (FPO) suits itineraries starting in the northern Bahamas. Private aviation is common here, since many smaller cays have their own airstrips within a short tender ride of the anchorage.

Which anchorages should we prioritise in the Bahamas?

The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is the backbone of most itineraries, with Warderick Wells as its most sheltered mooring field and Big Major Cay and Staniel Cay nearby for the swimming pigs and Thunderball Grotto. Elizabeth Harbour off Georgetown gives a wide, protected base for exploring Great Exuma, while the Abacos further north suit guests who prefer a shorter hop from Florida. Mooring balls are mandatory in parts of the park to protect the seagrass and reef below.

How many days do we need to see the Bahamas by yacht?

A week is enough to work through the Exuma chain at a comfortable pace, combining a few marquee stops like the swimming pigs and Thunderball Grotto with quieter anchorages in between. Ten days to two weeks allows time to add Nassau, Harbour Island’s pink sand beach or the Abacos without feeling rushed, and the shallow, well-charted water throughout the Bahama Bank makes island-hopping straightforward compared with more open ocean routes.

Do foreign yachts need a permit to cruise the Bahamas?

Yes. Every foreign-flagged vessel must clear in with Bahamas Customs and buy a cruising permit, with fees now tiered by both vessel length and permit duration under rules updated in 2026, ranging from around $150 for a short-term permit on a smaller boat up to several thousand dollars for a year-long permit on a superyacht. Clearance can be arranged online in advance through the Click to Clear portal, and longer permits include one or more free re-entries during their validity.
