The right water toys can turn a great yacht charter into an unforgettable one. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or just want fun activities for the kids, here are the 5 most requested water toys on Bahamas yacht charters in 2025—and the best yachts that carry them.
2. Jet Ski
Jet Skis are a staple on Bahamas motor yacht charters—and for good reason. These fast, nimble watercraft are perfect for exploring nearby cays or just blasting across the water for pure adrenaline.
Unlike many other Caribbean destinations, the Bahamas doesn’t require a license for Jet Ski use, making it accessible for everyone onboard.
Jet skis consistently top the list of guest requests, and motor yachts with jet skis are easy to find.
Why it’s popular on charters
They’re fast, flexible, and fun for guests of all experience levels. Jet Skis are great for exploring smaller islets, zipping around anchorages, or just getting an adrenaline hit. The Bahamas is especially suited for Jet Ski use because of its wide-open bays and minimal regulation compared to other destinations, like the British Virgin Islands, where there is a total ban on jet skis.
Our Insights
We regularly see guests take Jet Skis out first thing in the morning—racing through the Exumas’ blue channels or scouting private beaches. It’s a top choice for couples and friends traveling together. Just keep in mind: usage may be restricted in marine protected areas, and your captain will advise accordingly.

2. Seabob
Everyone wants a Seabob on their Bahamas yacht charter, and they are found on most charter yachts these days. Seabobs are high-performance electric underwater scooters that let you swim like a dolphin. They’re small, powerful, and incredibly intuitive to use—pulling you through the water at speeds up to 15 km/h on the surface and 11 km/h underwater. The Bahamas’ shallow, crystal-clear waters are perfect for Seabob use, especially around places like Thunderball Grotto, Allen’s Cay, or the coral heads near Compass Cay.
Why it’s popular on charters
They’re quiet, thrilling, and very easy to use. You can glide just a few feet below the surface with excellent visibility—perfect for spotting stingrays, turtles, or reef fish in the shallows.
Our advice
Seabobs are a hit with families, especially with kids 10+ who want to explore underwater without needing full scuba gear. We often see them used the most during anchorages near coral gardens and calm bays.

3. E-foil
Imagine flying above the water on an electric hydrofoil that hits speeds up to 45 kph. E-Foils are an exciting way to explore the calm bays of the Bahamas without noise or wake. They’re especially fun in anchorages with glassy water like those in Shroud Cay or the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. This electric board with a hydrofoil lifts riders above the surface, offering a ride that’s equal parts relaxing and futuristic.
Why it’s popular on charters
Offers a futuristic flying sensation with zero noise. One of the coolest, most buzz-worthy toys on yachts today.
Our insights
We’ve had more and more charter guests asking for E-foils in the last two seasons. They’re ideal for quiet bays, and most people can pick it up within a few hours, especially if you have previous surfing experience.

4. Inflatable Water Slide
Inflatable water slides are a guaranteed hit for all ages, especially when anchored in warm, shallow water. They’re easy for the crew to set up and often deployed at popular family stops like Big Major Cay (home of the swimming pigs) or Norman’s Cay.
Why it’s popular on charters
Instant joy for all ages, easy to set up, and very social. Great for family charters. Let’s not forget the photo ops! Sliding into a turquoise bay makes for an unbeatable photo. It’s not just fun; it’s a go-pro-worthy activity that guests love to share, making it a hit not just on the yacht but on social media, too.
Our Advice
If you’re chartering with kids or planning group fun days, choose a yacht with an inflatable slide. It keeps everyone engaged, and we’ve seen even the most reserved guests take the plunge. Water slides are common on motor yachts, and we even see some bigger Bahamas catamarans have them onboard.

5. Flyboard
Flyboards are becoming increasingly popular in Bahamas luxury yacht charters. They are a next-level toy for adrenaline lovers. Using jet propulsion powered by a personal watercraft, they can lift riders up to 15 meters into the air. You’ll find them used in flatter water near anchorages like Highbourne Cay or Nassau—places where calm conditions make balancing easier.
Why it’s popular on charters
It’s the ultimate thrill for guests who want to feel like superheroes. Within minutes, most beginners are flying. Great photo ops, serious adrenaline, and easy for crew to supervise.
Our insight
We recommend Flyboards to guests who want something beyond the usual toys. They’re especially popular with teenagers and athletic adults looking for a standout experience.
