A Bahamas superyacht charter is the most comfortable and self-contained way to see the islands. The fleet runs 100-300 feet with base rates from $85,000 to $500,000+/week, and every yacht carries its own world onboard: sundeck jacuzzis, beach clubs, spa cabins, and a full toy garage with jet skis, Seabobs, slides, and chase boats.
Start from Nassau or Marsh Harbour, plan 7-14 days, and aim for December to April, since the best yachts book popular dates a year or more out.
The yacht is the resort. The Out Islands are beautiful precisely because there’s almost nothing built on them: your restaurant, spa, and beach club all travel with you.
1:1 crew ratio. A dedicated chef, stewardesses, and water-sports crew mean the service level of a five-star hotel, in places no hotel exists.
The full toy garage. Jet skis, Seabobs, waterslides, dive gear, and a chase boat that gets you to drop-offs and bonefish flats the mothership can’t anchor near.
Ultimate freedom. With 300+ nautical mile range and everything you need onboard, the whole archipelago is your itinerary, not just the stretch nearest the marina.
Broker insight
There are only about two or three beach bars in the whole of the Exuma chain. It's more tranquil and quiet in the Bahamas, and that's exactly why you want the yacht to carry everything. Out there, the boat is your restaurant, your spa, and your beach club.

Base rates run $85,000 to $500,000+/week depending on size, age, and amenities. On top of that, budget a 30-40% APA (fuel, food, drinks, dockage) and the Bahamas’ 14% charter tax. A $150,000/week yacht typically lands around $220,000 fully loaded.
A superyacht’s range means the whole Bahamas is on the table. The classic first-timer week runs Nassau south through the Exumas: Thunderball Grotto, the swimming pigs at Big Major’s Spot, Norman’s Cay, with the option to return via Eleuthera’s pink-sand beaches. The Abacos offer the sociable version: harbor towns, beach bars, and protected water, starting straight out of Marsh Harbour’s own international airport.
For a second visit, ask us about the Berry Islands, Long Island, or Cat Island: blue holes and untouched beaches with no other yacht in sight.
Size, crew, and standard: over roughly 100ft with a full hospitality crew that usually outnumbers the guests, from about $85,000 a week. Below that see our motor yacht charters.
Base rates run $85,000 to $500,000+ per week, plus a 30-40% APA and the 14% charter tax. A $150,000 yacht lands around $220,000 fully loaded. See the full cost breakdown.
Yes. The deeper yachts anchor off and run guests in by tender, which is normal here. Your captain plans anchorages around the yacht’s draft, so the shallow water is not a limitation on the week.
Twelve guests is the charter limit, and on a superyacht the crew often outnumbers them, typically one crew member per guest or better.
A year or more ahead for Christmas, New Year, and the February to April peak, when the best yachts and dates go first.
