Bahamas Catamaran Charters – The Advantages

Here are the reasons why you should choose a crewed catamaran for your sailing vacation in the Bahamas:

Catamarans have a shallow draft

This allows access to more shallow harbors, bays, and coves that a motor yacht or a monohull would not be able to access. A crewed catamaran charter will get you closer to the beaches, reefs, capes, and other areas where waters are more shallow. Because of the shallow draft, catamarans have more anchoring options.

Catamarans have large, wide deck areas

Catamarans have an optimal layout with lounging and living areas on top, providing guests with spectacular panoramic views. There is also less space between decks, which means you won’t have to climb tall flights of stairs. The living and lounging spaces, both indoors and outdoors, are much larger. This makes entertaining a breeze.

Catamaran rentals offer more privacy

Finding your own little oasis for a moment of solitude on a catamaran is easy since there is ample deck space. Privacy is one of the reasons many choose a catamaran charter since the layout has sleeping quarters located in the hulls, keeping them separate from the common areas.

Catamaran charters are known for safety and stability

Catamarans are very stable both when at anchor and while underway. They don’t roll because of a dual hull structure, keeping the deck fairly level, and they have natural buoyancy. They also tend to handle rough waters more efficiently, and watertight compartments allow a catamaran to stay afloat even if a hull is pierced. Catamarans are a great choice for families or those who are new to the charter world because of reduced seasickness and overall safer travel experience.

Catamarans offer a wide selection of water toys and activities

Most catamaran rentals come with water toys, sports, and other activities that guests of all ages can enjoy. Scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding are just some of the fun a catamaran can offer. Some have hot tubs on the deck. Trampolines are also a bonus on a catamaran.  When not in the water or exploring one of the Exumas islands and cays, take advantage of the charter’s entertainment options, like movie libraries, video game systems, or board games.

Catamaran charters are cheaper than motor yacht charters

Catamarans have lower operating costs, making them a more affordable option than a motor yacht charter. When you begin the booking process, let your charter broker know your budget, and they will match you to the perfect crewed catamaran. Bahamas catamaran charters are also a more affordable option than taking your group to a luxury resort. Since you’re not competing with hundreds of other guests for the attention of the staff, your charter crew can provide you with a five-star, VIP experience.

Catamarans are family-friendly

There are many factors that make catamarans the best choice for family sailing vacations. When booking, select a crew that has experience working with children. Your kids will remember a captain that shows them how the boat works, and crews that set up theme nights or treasure hunts. The safety and stability of a catamaran’s construction are also ideal for families – some of the boats offer additional features like baby gates, safety nets around the decks, and pocket doors on the stairwells. The layout of the decks and the location of the cabins allow you to be close to the children at all times. Finally, catamarans provide a selection of water sports, inflatable toys, life jackets, and other gear specifically for children.

Welcome to the beautiful Bahamas , a tropical paradise known for its turquoise waters and breathtaking scenery. If you're looking for a unique way to explore this stunning archipelago, why not consider renting a catamaran?

Sailing in The Bahamas is a truly magical experience, and catamarans are the perfect boats for exploring the many islands and cays.

With a catamaran charter , you have the freedom to explore the islands at your own pace. You can anchor in a new location every night or spend several days in one place, depending on your preferences.

There are few things in life as magical as a sailing vacation in the Bahamas. The turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and stunning sunsets are truly breathtaking. And what could be more relaxing than spending your days cruising around on a beautiful catamaran?

If you're thinking about renting a boat in the Bahamas, here are a few things you should know. Firstly, the Bahamas is an archipelago of over 700 islands, so there are plenty of territories to explore. And with average temperatures hovering around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, it's a great destination year-round.

One of the best things about chartering a boat in the Bahamas is that you can tailor your trip to your own preferences. Whether you want to spend your days fishing, swimming, snorkeling, or just relaxing on the deck with a good book, you can do it all at your own pace. There are also many opportunities for adventure, like exploring uninhabited islands or venturing into caves.

If you're looking for a truly unique and memorable vacation, chartering a catamaran in the Bahamas is a great option. You'll create lifetime memories and have an experience you'll never forget.

Where to sail in the Bahamas?

There is no better way to spend your vacation than sailing around the beautiful islands of the Bahamas on a catamaran. The turquoise waters and white sand beaches are calling your name!

Here are some of the best places to sail with a catamaran in the Bahamas:

  • The Exumas - This chain of islands is known for its stunning beaches, coves, and crystal-clear waters. It's the perfect place to anchor your catamaran and enjoy some time swimming, sunbathing, and exploring.
  • Eleuthera - This island is home to some of the most beautiful pink sand beaches in the world. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy the views.
  • Cat Island - This island is named after its abundance of cats (of course!). It's a great place to sail if you're looking for peace and quiet, as it's one of the lesser-known islands in the Bahamas.
  • Nassau - The capital city of the Bahamas, Nassau is a vibrant and lively place to sail. There's plenty to see and do, from exploring the markets to enjoying the nightlife.
  • Abaco Islands - The Abaco Islands are a popular sailing destination for their sheltered coves and outstanding sailing conditions. They're also home to some of the best bonefishing in the world!

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the Bahamas?

There's nothing quite like a Bahamas vacation. The bright blue waters, the white sand beaches, and the endless sunshine make it a perfect destination for a boat charter. And with so many options available, it's easy to find a catamaran that fits your budget.

Of course, there are a few factors that will affect the price of your rental. The size of the boat, the length of your stay, and the number of people in your party all play a role in determining the cost. On average, a rental in the Bahamas costs approximately $1,490 per day or $10,430 per week, accommodating an average of 10 guests aboard the boat. With careful planning and an understanding of what you want, it's possible to find a catamaran rental that won't break the bank.

The harbors in the Bahamas

The Bahamas offer some of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the Caribbean, and a catamaran charter is a perfect way to explore them. From bustling harbors and marinas to remote coves and bays, there is something for everyone when chartering a catamaran in the Bahamas.

  • Marsh Harbour : Located in the Abacos, Marsh Harbour is one of the most popular ports of call for a catamaran charter in the Bahamas. Home to many local restaurants, bars, and shops, this vibrant harbor has plenty to keep you busy while you’re here. With its deep waters and sheltered bays, it’s also an ideal spot for sailing, fishing, or simply relaxing.
  • Nassau : Nassau is one of the most famous cruise ports in the Caribbean. It’s home to many luxury resorts and casinos, as well as several excellent marinas that can accommodate your catamaran charter. The main marina located here is Nassau Yacht Haven Marina which offers slips with electricity and water hookups as well as all kinds of amenities like shops, restaurants, bars, and more.
  • Freeport : Freeport on Grand Bahama Island is another must-see port of call on your catamaran charter adventure in the Bahamas. With its palm-lined beaches, crystal clear waters, and vibrant culture, it makes for an unforgettable experience. Moody's Marina provides great facilities for both short-term visits and long-term stays with full-service amenities including laundry services and fuel docks.
  • Andros Town : Andros Town on Andros Island is a hidden gem within the Bahamas archipelago that should not be missed during your catamaran charter vacation here. Here you will find some of the best fishing spots in all of the Caribbean, along with spectacular coral gardens just offshore that you can explore by kayak or paddleboard from your boat. Andros Town Marina provides slips with electricity hookups as well as access to all kinds of supplies including fuel and food items.

No matter where you choose to dock during your catamaran charter vacation in the Bahamas, you will be sure to have a remarkable time! Whether it’s exploring bustling harbors or discovering secluded coves, there are so many wonderful places to visit when sailing around these beautiful islands!

Renting a catamaran with or without a skipper

Renting a boat in the Bahamas can be a wonderful experience, and it can be done with or without a skipper. Depending on your needs, one option may be more suitable than the other. To make sure you make the right decision, let’s look at the benefits of both options.

If you choose to rent with a skipper, you will be able to enjoy some of the best sailing spots in the Bahamas without having to worry about navigation and safety. A qualified and experienced captain will oversee operating the vessel while you simply relax and take in all that this stunning area has to offer. You can also enjoy all sorts of water sports like snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking which wouldn’t be possible without a skipper on board.

On the other hand, if you opt for a bareboat charter, you will have full control over your trip and there is no need for a skipper. This allows for more freedom when it comes to planning and scheduling activities, as well as destinations. You will also get to experience sailing yourself as you navigate around the islands. Plus, it is often more affordable compared to renting with a skipper due to lower costs associated with operating the boat.

Whether you decide to rent with or without a skipper in the Bahamas, both options have their own unique advantages that can help make your trip unforgettable. Just remember to choose what works best for you based on your skill level and budget!

When is the best time to go?

Exploring the Bahamas is a dream come true for many, and sailing is one of the best ways to do it. But what is the best time to go? The answer depends on your specific needs, but if you’re looking for the ideal time to sail in the Bahamas, then late spring or early fall is your best bet.

From late April through May and again from September through October, temperatures are mild, ranging from 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 65–75 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Rainfall is also low at this time of year, making for calm seas and good sailing conditions. Plus, wind speeds tend to be steady and consistent throughout these months — perfect for experienced sailors who want an enjoyable cruise.

Bahamas Yacht Charter

A Bahamas yacht charter promises guests a slice of tropical perfection and unparalleled escapism. The idyllic chain of islands that form the Bahamas provides yacht charter guests with a decadent cocktail of sun-drenched sands (even pink ones), crystalline waters teeming with marine life, and diverse topography.

Comprising more than 700 heavenly islands with precious few inhabited, the cruising grounds of the Bahamas archipelago offer a fascinating mixture of seclusion and connectedness. Expect a gloriously slower pace of life that harmonizes with the gentle tide, blended with a fiesta of blazing color and soft-calypso: an endearingly exotic charter experience.

Silhouetted by coral cays, aquamarine shallows are garlanded with glistening coves and iridescent bays are often only three or four meters deep, making the Bahamas both a perennial family favorite and a jet-setter's paradise. It's ideal territory for shallow draft yachts or catamarans, who can cozy up to seldom-visited anchorages and soak up their celestial calm, or delve deeper for an aquatic adventure.

Bahamas Yacht Charters: At a Glance

  • Constant sunshine Its sun-drenched shores amid cinematic landscapes charm yacht charter guests all-year-round. A blissful sanctuary awaits you when you reach these islands.
  • 700 islands, cays, and islets Make up the achingly beautiful jigsaw that is the Bahamas archipelago; expect beaches and bays that make your heart sing as par for the course. You'll be spoilt for choice with stunning anchorages.
  • 4% cruising fee Attractively low fees help to make the Bahamas an enduringly popular yacht charter destination.
  • Easily accessible Reaching the Bahamas is a mere hours flight from Florida or three hours from New York and Toronto. The Bahamas also has excellent transport links to other worldwide destinations.
  • Tropical thrills The Bahamas is a place of endless adventure and intrigue: from swimming with inquisitive pigs and gliding alongside friendly nurse sharks; to strolling otherworldly pink beaches and diving into coral-filled caves that once appeared in a James Bond film. The list really does go on and on.
  • Shallow waters The Bahamas' alluringly clear waters aren't deep, so shallow draught motor yachts, sailing yachts or catamarans provide guests with more opportunities to admire the Bahamas' natural splendor.

Where to Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas

Sensationally beautiful cays dapple every part of this glittering archipelago, so Bahamas yacht charter guests can take their pick of destinations to venture to. Every kind of possible itinerary can be catered to here; from simply recalibrating on silky sanded beaches lapped by gentle waves of unearthly blue: to shimmying the night away at twinkling bars until dawn; to whiling away sun-kissed afternoons golfing, snorkeling, fishing, and even horseback riding.

Types of Charter Yachts in the Bahamas

Crewed motor yacht charters and luxury catamaran charters are undoubtedly the best way to discover the Bahamas.

As one of the most popular destinations for yacht charters in the Caribbean , guests have countless fleet options when it comes to a Bahamas crewed charter. If you are unsure whether to opt for a motor yacht, sailing yacht or catamaran to cruise Bahamian waters, here are some main points to consider:

Shallow Cruising Grounds

The waters all around the Bahamas are fairly shallow, often no more than 4 meters deep, and even less in some places. Therefore, yachts with shallow drafts make the ideal choice for luxury charters around this enchanting region.

Most sailing charter yachts come equipped with a retractable keel, facilitating access to the beautiful turquoise shallows, although larger sailing yachts may still find their draft too deep for some areas, even with their keel up!

To get around this, some of the larger luxury yachts drop their anchor further out into the deeper waters and use their onboard tenders to explore the area, where guests can experience the thrill of getting up close and personal with the archipelago’s astonishing marine fauna, including rays, sharks and inquisitive swimming pigs. The yachts’ tenders also enable even greater access to the Bahamas' myriad exquisite island reefs and blue lagoons.

Motor yacht charter in the Bahamas

A luxury motor yacht provides guests with a tranquil haven to uncover the startling beauty of the Bahamas. Whether you want to peacefully bronze under Bahamian rays or get out the jet skis and whizz around deserted islands, a crewed motor yacht charter in the Bahamas provides you with boundless itinerary options. 

Sailing Yacht Charter in the Bahamas

Chartering a sailing yacht in the Bahamas means you can embrace all that these substantially beautiful islands have to offer. Cruising further afield to otherwise inaccessible sleepy villages with chalk-white beaches and waters suffused with a pale aqua glow is worth incorporating into any itinerary.

Catamaran Charter in the Bahamas

Given that the majority of catamarans have shallow drafts, crewed catamaran charters are a highly popular choice for Bahamas vacations. As you can cruise close to the cays, guests can savor the liberating feeling of being able to jump off-board at almost any point. Whether it's to dive amid sunken shipwrecks and admire shoals of fish that shimmy through fronds of coral in a kaleidoscope of color or to dance the night away at a private island under a blanket of stars; the choice is all yours.

How Much Does It Cost To Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas?

Bahamas yacht charters are plentiful, which means there are a vast array of motor yacht and catamaran charters to suit every type of budget. The average prices for motor and sailing yacht charters in the Bahamas are as follows;

For motor yacht rentals in Bahamas, prices can range from $42,100 to $1.47m per week, plus expenses

For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Bahamas, prices can go from $30,000 to $343,476 weekly, plus expenses

Tax for Yacht Charters in the Bahamas

What is the cost of tax for yacht charters in the Bahamas? From the 1st of July 2022, a new 10% VAT rate will be levied on the total charter fee, and is applicable to all yachts cruising in Bahamian waters. The new 10% levy does not replace the current 4% cruising fee which remains payable to the Port Department. 

All yachts wishing to cruise within the archipelago must now register for VAT in the Bahamas and receive a Bahamian TIN number. 

Please consult your chosen yacht charter broker who will be able to offer personalized advice on VAT and any other business for your next Bahamas yacht charter.

Foreign-Flagged Yachts in US Waters

There are strict and complicated rules governing commercial yacht charters (non-private) cruising US waters, which in general means that only US-flagged yachts or US built yachts with a coastwise endorsement can conduct yacht charters in the US. Furthermore, yachts that are available for charter are considered to be "engaging in a trade" and thus ineligible for a US cruising licence. Most luxury charter yachts are also not US duty paid.

As the majority of the charter fleet are foreign-flagged yachts, Bahamas yacht charters will likely begin outside of the US, usually in the Bahamian capital of Nassau where there is a large busy international airport.

That said, it is possible to pick-up charter guests in the US so long as the yacht's next port of call is outside of US waters. This can be a good option for those wishing to meet the boat in Florida and cruise down to the Bahamas from here.

Where Should I Begin My Yacht Charter in the Bahamas?

The vast majority of yacht charters in the Bahamas embark and disembark in the country's picturesque capital  Nassau , which is home to its best-known international ports, dotted with top-rung marinas all along its azure waters. The city is justly renowned for its throng of fine-dining options, boutiques, hip eateries, and casinos fringed by towering palm trees. Nassau is also conveniently located for cruising to the Exumas and beyond.

Atlantis Resort, Nassau

For a real respite from the crowds, it's common for yacht charter guests to embark their vessel at Marsh Harbor on the  Abaco Islands ,  where you can trace the mesmerizing string of sandy cays that can be found here. Its shores, a serene and shimmering topaz, are perfect for dropping anchor and taking the toys for a spin.

When is the Best Time to Visit the Bahamas by Yacht?

One of the great joys of choosing a Bahamas yacht charter is that its balmy climes and shallow waters make it more or less ideal to cruise all-year-round* .  But the Bahamas does have a peak season from mid-December to mid-April. The average temperatures of both Bahamian summers and winters are unsurprisingly tropical: hovering between 24-29 degrees and rarely dipping below this. 

Palm tree lined beach in the Bahamas

During the summertime (from May until October), guests can expect endless sunshine and some humidity, while from November until April, the Bahamas has a slightly cooler temperature and colder waters.

*However, whilst Bahamian weather is pleasingly warm all-year the islands do fall within the hurricane belt, running from June until the end of November along the US East Coast and the Caribbean. The Western Caribbean's own hurricane season usually starts from mid-September until early November.

Nevertheless, it is worth keeping in mind that hurricanes in the Bahamas are fairly infrequent, and even less so than on the US East Coast.

Marinas in the Bahamas

It is not hyperbole to say that the Bahamas offers some of the most spectacular marinas in the world: from glamorous hotspots replete with award-winning restaurants, designer stores, and buzzing beach bars, to the exquisite barefoot luxury that emanates from the less frequented.

Marina in the Bahamas

A slew of activities is on offer here, including bonefishing, ocean fishing, dolphin watching, golfing, and snorkeling. And that's not even to mention the dizzying array of casinos, water parks, and marine reserves you can also find. Simply put, marinas in the Bahamas are simply of the finest caliber.

But which marinas are the best? Below are some charter favorites:

  • Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina : the newly renovated marina at Paradise Landing close to the famous Atlantis Resort in Nassau offers a raft of 5-star amenities, wellness facilities and world-class retail outlets, not to mention exclusive restaurants and bars, alongside an on-site customs facility and slips catering to yachts up to 420ft (128m) LOA.
  • Treasure Cay Beach, Marina and Golf Resort (The Abacos): well-protected deep water marina, with excellent provisioning. Features an outstanding golf course, as well a spa for an extra dose of pampering. Excursions to see the delightful water-bound pigs can also be arranged here. It offers a 164-berth capacity up to 46m.
  • Green Turtle Club and Marina (The Abacos): tranquil and conveniently located to Abaco's hotspots as well as a perfect spot for beach hikes and land-based activities. Accommodates 40 berths up to 39m.
  • Atlantis Marina: iconic megayacht marina featuring a protected harbor with 63 berths up to 67m. Has an extensive number of facilities including a golf course, casino, spa, water park, and more. You can also arrange swimming with dolphins excursions here.
  • Emerald Bay Marina (The Exumas): large superyacht marina that has a berth capacity of 150 for yachts up to 79m. Within easy reach of many mesmerizing cays, including Cave Cay and Staniel Cay.
  • Palm Cay Marina (Nassau): ideal jumping point for exploring Paradise Island and the Exumas, with state-of-the-art facilities and amenities. 194 berth capacity up to 33m.
  • Highbourne Cay Marina: exclusive marina on a privately owned island, seen as the gateway to the Exumas. Accommodates up to 26 berths.

Popular Anchorages in the Bahamas

The Bahamas has jaw-dropping anchorages in abundance, flecked all along the 590-mile-long archipelago.

In the Exumas , you must cruise towards Leaf Cay to meet the colony of stocky but amiable Iguanas who call it home. You won't miss them: they'll be ready and waiting to greet you when you drop anchor. You should also pay a visit to  Staniel Cay, where the famed  Thunderball Grotto ( named after the 1965 James Bond film) is located, to see a cave illuminated by light and flourishes of angelfish. Closeby, you'll find Big Major Cay's  swimming pigs, who have a seemingly never-ending capacity for treats, and Shroud Cay's sea turtles contently floating amid a dramatic underwater backdrop. Simply put, it's a wildlife lover's paradise.

In the Abacos, head south to the isolated Great Guana Cay and  spend an afternoon snorkeling around the marine park, or alternatively, head straight to its golf course. Further north, you'll find Green Turtle Cay : where fishing boats stand charmingly in front of timber houses in a perfectly graduated shade of pastels. Swimming pigs (yes, there's even more here!) are located in nearby Noname Cay . And last but not least, bathe in the calm, warm shores of  Treasure Cay,  where you will find some of the best beaches in the world.

Elsewhere, other popular anchorages include those in  Eleuthera , an island steeped in cultural significance but manages to retain its erstwhile charm. Set towards  St. George's Cay to drink up the peaceful ambiance of Spanish Wells beach  and meander the historic  Governor's Harbor.

  • North Eleuthera Airport: an international airport that is best for reaching the quaint Eleuthera and Harbor Island.
  • Marsh Harbor International Airport: ideal for charters commencing on the crystal clear shores of Abacos, being only 7.9km away.

Booking Advice from the Experts

We strongly recommend booking with your yacht charter broker at least three to six months in advance, as the Bahamas is a highly popular Caribbean luxury yacht charter destination. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.

This also ensures your broker has enough time to craft a personalized itinerary and secure a berth at a popular marina.

Local Insight

Diving in the Bahamas

  • Keep in mind that the endless sunshine from mid-December until April attracts a high number of visitors to this idyllic location, and this is when the Bahamas is usually at its busiest.
  • New Providence Island (where Nassau and the extraordinary Atlantis Resort and Marina are situated) tends to be heaving with cruise ships. If you are looking for a calmer charter, this is worth taking into consideration.
  • Weather conditions and wind strength play a crucial role in anchorage spots in the Bahamas, so plan any overnight anchorages accordingly.
  • Some anchorages can be a bit of a challenge to set: it's common for heavy grass to cover a large section of some of the better spots to drop anchor 
  • Anchorages that appear to have a sandy bottom can oftentimes be just a thin layer of sand over a coral reef or rock, making it difficult to dig the anchor in. Don't be misled by them!

Most Popular Superyacht Hotspots in the Bahamas

Treasure Cay Abaco Bahamas beach

In the north of the archipelago you'll find the Abacos : widely considered to be the boating capital of the Bahamas thanks to its unique geography. Epitomising laid-back Bahamian living, an Abacos yacht charter is ideal for those in search of stillness and solitude. Soak up its subtle alchemy at the vast 2,100 marine reserve in Pelican Cay,  fringed by blossoming coral, tame sea turtles, and dancing angelfish, or explore the superb surfing opportunities at Fowl Cays . For a journey through vivid color, pass a leisurely morning in nearby  Hope Tow n, admiring crayon-hued Bahamian architecture and  Elbow Cay's candy-striped lighthouse whilst drinking in their unpretentious ambiance.

After an afternoon spent floating on a late-summer heat haze, further on to Green Turtle Cay and sip on that famous Bahamian cocktail, the Goombay Smash, by a seafront taverna as the sun casts a peachy glow. Of course, no visit to the Abacos would be complete without a trip to the acclaimed  Treasure Cay Beach : its milky white sands and cyan shallows see it routinely end up on the world's most beautiful beaches list.

pig swimming in waters, the Exumas, Bahamas

Home to 365 cays, days here could easily drift by diving off burnished rocks until the sun slowly slinks away. Life truly does revolve around the water in the Exumas, so think every watersport you could possibly imagine is a go here. Plus, it's the perfect shallow cruising ground for yacht charters, with no cruise ships in sight making it a discerning choice for those looking for repose.

Sailing towards Big Major's Cay is love at first sight for most: it's where you will find Pig Beach ,  and its utterly charming piggies gliding surprisingly effortlessly across the water. Nearby, plunge into the sea with nurse sharks at Compass Cay before ending the day sauntering along the remote  Three Sisters Beach as the sunsets. Whilst you are here, go onshore and absorb Bahamian culture to its fullest in  Georgetown.

long stretch of beach on Eleuthera, Bahamas

An Eleuthera yacht charter has come to encapsulate the island's name, which in Greek means 'freedom'. Secluded, slender, and over 100 miles long, Eleuthera is unquestionably the prettiest out of the Out Islands, fully earning its name as the Nantucket of the Caribbean. With the island's soft, salmon-colored sandy beaches and pastel-painted houses set among pineapple fields, it's hard not to become infatuated by its perfectly-packaged tropical charms.

Make sure you also visit the historic capital  Governor's Harbor  and the verdant  Hatchet Bay whilst you are cruising its unspoiled shores.

Harbour Island

stunning pink sandy beach in bahamas

Situated in the northwest of Eleuthera, Harbor Island is renowned for its astonishing Pink Sand Beach , which gets its unique rosy hue from the presence of millions of tiny crushed coral seashells. Packing a powerful punch to the senses, this seemingly endless stretch of sand which is cool-to-the-touch (and ideal for barefoot walking) extends over three miles and adored by the well-heeled. And you'll understand in an instant why when you visit.  Languid afternoons spent upon its long arc of soft sugar-textured sand, hugged by pale-blue waters and bathed in golden light will linger long in your memory.

But that's not all Harbor Island has to offer. It would be remiss not to mention Harbor Island's lively night scene, and the number of sophisticated boutiques huddled here: with Dunmore Town the ultimate go-to destination for designer wear.

Swimming pigs in the Exumas, Bahamas

Don't Miss:

Andros Barrier Reef: delve into shipwrecks and be greeted with a vast array of marine life at the third longest reef in the world. If you fancy bonefishing, this is among the world's best locations.

Warderick Wells: tether here to discover some of the rarest life forms on earth, as well as lobsters, turtles, and parrotfish.

Wax Cay: grab your jet skis for a thrilling trip through the cay's myriad of mangroves.

Lucayan National Park: a stunning park that is also home to the world's longest underwater cave system.

Walker's Cay: if you love sport-fishing, then this spot should be your prime choice.

Junkanoo: be serenaded by island-inspired calypso and flamboyant dance troupes in this vibrant street parade held every Boxing Day.

Glass Window Bridge: drink in the majestic panoramas here, with views of the rich, sapphire-tinted waters of the Atlantic to the left, and the aqua Caribbean to the right.

John Watling’s Distillery: set in a former plantation house, sample a traditional rum cocktail at the Red Turtle Tavern, bordered by leafy black olive trees.

Clifton Heritage National Park: snorkel around the largest underwater sculpture in the world — an 18-foot statue of a Bahamian girl.

Bimini: less-frequented, this island is one of only a handful of places in the world where you can swim with wild dolphins, so make the most of it.

Bahamas Yacht Charter Q&A

Your vessel will need to have a shallow draft (no more than 4m) as Bahamas waters aren't deep. If you would like to visit the Bahamas by superyacht, it will need to have a shallow draft below 4m or a retractable keel to cruise comfortably and make the most of the idyllic anchorages found here.

Browse with ease on our site a wide-ranging selection of motor yachts, sailing yachts, and catamarans for charter in the Bahamas. Select by your chosen dates, number of guests, yacht type, features, and preferred onboard toys and we'll show you what's available.

If you decide to make an enquiry, a yacht charter broker will then contact you to provide you with a custom charter proposal based on your needs.

You can also reach out to your yacht charter broker directly, and they will be able to research for you the ideal yacht charter in the Bahamas.

Mid-December to mid-April is the Bahamas' peak season, characterized by endless sunshine and pleasingly warm waters.

Nassau is the invariably popular choice to begin a Bahamas yacht charter. Not only is the city astoundingly beautiful and replete with world-class marinas, hip boutiques, restaurants, and more, but reaching other Bahamas destinations like the Exumas is a breeze.

In most cases, a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee is required as a deposit to secure your luxury yacht charter, which is payable once the contract has been signed.

The Bahamas is a highly popular yacht charter destination, which for guests means there is a yacht to suit practically every budget.

When booking, keep in mind the additional costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely tax and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). Typically set at 30% of the charter fee, the APA is paid in advance and covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food,  drinks, as well as any special requests (such as for tenders that are not carried by yacht, equipment hire, etc.)

The community's advice on the destination

with SamBoat. Bahamas is the ideal destination to charter a catamaran and explore the Caribbean. As one of the most popular sailing destinations, you'll have access to a wide inventory to hire a catamaran. Rent a catamaran for a day or a week in comfort with flexible cancellation.

Charter a catamaran in the Bahamas

The Bahamas is a country made up of a chain of islands located in the West Indies archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. The Bahamas are easily accessible by land or sea, with annual flights, ferries and boats arriving from the United States, Europe and Latin America. These islands welcome thousands of tourists each year for their beautiful white sandy beaches. Charter a catamaran in the Bahamas and enjoy all its stunning beaches.

You can rent a catamaran in the Bahamas and plan an itinerary of one or several days to discover all the islands and experience an exciting adventure in the crystal clear ocean. Visit the Exumas and its cays, explore their deserted beaches, home to the world's most famous swimming piglets. Discover each of the Exumas cays and enjoy the tranquillity of the area.

When looking for a sailing vacation full of incredible beaches and clear waters in the Caribbean, renting a boat in the Bahamas is always on top of the list. Only 50 miles away from the coast in Florida, the Bahamas are easily accessible and have all of the qualities to be a sailors paradise. With over 700 islands, the area is made for island hopping and discovery. Pair that with the perfect climate and you’ll have a memorable experience. 

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the Bahamas?

When chartering a catamaran in the Bahamas, the prices will vary depending on a lot of factors. First, depending on when you sail, the season will dictate the price. The Bahamas follow the typical sailing season of the Caribbean traditionally having the high season from December to April. Even though some people will sail year round, it is important to keep in mind that the waters outside of this time will not be as calm and it is even more important to avoid hurricane season.

On average, if you plan on hiring a catamaran during the high season, you can expect to pay around 6,000 euros a week and 3,000 to 4,000 outside of December to March. The prices will of course vary depending on the size of the boat, the amenities and whether you’ll need a captain. You can also hire a sailboat in the Bahamas and create an itinerary to sail around. 

Do you need a license to rent a catamaran in the Bahamas?

In the Bahamas, a license is not specifically requested, but you will have to show a proper resume highlighting your previous experience and qualifications. Since the area is windier with currents, you’ll have to showcase experience with the type of boat you would like to rent. If you do not possess experience with a catamaran, you can always opt to hire the catamaran with an experienced captain that will take care of everything. 

Renting a catamaran in the Bahamas

Discover the unspoiled natural beauty of the Bahamas on a catamaran. Once you arrive, you’ll have plenty of activities to partake in including discovering it’s marine life or just appreciating all of the beaches available.

I've used 12 Knots twice now and everything has gone smooth, their site is easy to navigate, and the prices have been tough to beat.
