Looking for the best crewed catamaran charters in the Bahamas for 2026? We’ve handpicked the top 10 catamarans based on firsthand experience, broker feedback, and what’s actually delivering quality in the Exumas right now. These aren’t just the biggest or flashiest boats—they’re the ones where the crew goes the extra mile, the food’s consistently excellent, and the itineraries run smoothly.
10. YLIME | 60ft
YLIME is a 2023 Sunreef 60, and at $38,000 to $42,000 a week she is the most accessible entry point onto this list without dropping below a proper luxury-cat standard. She sleeps 8 guests across 4 en-suite cabins with a soothing, modern colour palette throughout.
We like her large exterior spaces: sun pads on both the front terrace and the flybridge, plus a cozy alfresco dining area on the aft deck and a hydraulic swim platform that makes water access effortless.
Her crew of three, led by French Captain Tom Foucher, are strong with water sports specifically. If your group wants an active week without stepping up to a bigger, pricier cat, we would start here.
9. JOY | 77ft
JOY is a Lagoon Seventy 7, one of the first of her model available for Bahamas catamaran charter, and she sleeps 8 guests across 4 cabins with a South African crew of four. The main salon runs the full width of the boat, and the transom beach club opens straight onto the water, which is a real advantage in the Exumas’ calm, shallow anchorages.
We rate Captain Carl highly. He is a professional dive instructor and underwater photographer, so if diving matters to your group, he is someone we would specifically recommend.
Her full sail inventory also means a genuinely quiet, sailing-under-canvas experience when conditions allow, which not every catamaran on this list can offer.
8. SEMPER FIDELIS | 67ft
SEMPER FIDELIS is a Fountaine Pajot 67 delivered in 2022, and one of our brokers has booked Bahamas clients onto her directly. She sleeps 8 guests across 4 cabins, including a primary and VIP suite, and she carries a Jacuzzi on deck plus a well-shaded flybridge for long lunches.
We like her value at $56,000 to $60,000 a week for a 67-footer of this spec, genuinely one of the better rates on this list for the space and toy list on offer.
Evenings on board come with an overhead projector for movie nights, a small touch that tends to matter a lot with families.
7. PALOMA | 65ft
PALOMA has one of the strongest reputations among our own brokers of any catamaran on this list. One of our brokers has called her the clear pick over other options in her class, another had her booked and confirmed within three days, and a third told us plainly that the captain and crew on Paloma are excellent.
She is a 2024 Lagoon 65, built to carry a genuinely large group in comfort, and at $62,000 a week she sits right in the middle of this list on price.
Given how consistently she comes up in our internal conversations, we would suggest asking about her early. Boats our brokers personally vouch for tend to book up fast.
6. JACK | 76ft
JACK is a 76-foot McConaghy built in 2023, one of the newer performance sailing catamarans we can offer for the Bahamas. She sleeps 8 guests, and her McConaghy pedigree means she is built as much for genuinely fast, comfortable sailing as she is for lounging at anchor.
At €65,000 a week, she sits in the upper-middle of this list, and we would recommend her for a group that wants a boat that sails properly, not just one that happens to have two hulls.
5. CARTOUCHE | 95ft
CARTOUCHE is a custom-built 95-foot sailing catamaran designed by naval architect Jean-Jacques Coste, one of the largest catamarans in the world, and in our experience one of the best on this list for diving. Her captain and chef are both PADI Divemasters and CMAS level 4 divers, and her stewardess is an Advanced Open Water diver who also teaches yoga and therapeutic massage on board.
She sleeps 8 guests across 4 cabins with a crew of 4, and the deck layout is built for outdoor living: two bars, a Jacuzzi, and an outdoor cinema, alongside a wide toy list that includes an electric hydrofoil.
We would put her forward for a group serious about diving, or simply for guests who want the scale and presence of one of the largest catamarans afloat.
CARTOUCHE
4. ANKAWER VI | 69ft
ANKAWER VI is a brand-new 2025 Sunreef 69, and she winters in the Bahamas after a Western Mediterranean summer season. She sleeps 8 guests across 4 cabins, and being fresh off the yard means everything on board, from the systems to the finishes, is as current as it gets.
We like her for guests who want a genuinely new boat rather than a well-maintained older one. There is a real difference, and at this size it shows.
At $75,000 to $90,000 a week, she sits toward the top of this list, in line with her age and spec.
3. SHADES OF GREY | 78ft
SHADES OF GREY is a Sunreef 80 built for genuinely large-scale luxury: a vast central lounging space, a sheltered bow terrace, and an expansive cockpit that all blend into one continuous living area. She sleeps 9 guests, and the aft platform doubles as extra lounging space while carrying the tender.
We would recommend her for a group that wants the biggest possible feel from a catamaran without stepping up to a full motor yacht.
At €70,000 to €80,000 a week, she is one of the more premium picks on this list, and it shows in the finish.
2. ODYSSEY | 77ft
ODYSSEY is a 2022 Lagoon 77 based here in the Bahamas, and her 36-foot beam gives her genuinely spacious cabins: an ensuite master with a walk-in closet, plus three further ensuite queens, one of which converts to twins. We like that her deck spaces do not feel like an afterthought — a sun awning, bimini shade, and a BBQ that somehow always turns a quick lunch into a long one.
Her crew of 4 and her toy list, including paddleboards, a Seabob, wakeboard, and adult water skis, make her a strong fit for an active family week.
At $84,000 to $90,000 a week, she is one of the higher-end picks on this list, and being homeported in the Bahamas means less relocation uncertainty than some of the others here.
1. ENDLESS HORIZON | 80ft
ENDLESS HORIZON tops this list for us, and it is not just the size. She is a Sunreef 80 homeported between the BVI and the Bahamas, and one of our brokers, who has chartered widely across the fleet, called her flat-out amazing.
She sleeps 8 guests across 4 cabins, and everything about her is built for a genuinely big-boat experience without stepping up to a motor yacht.
At $92,000 to $100,000 a week, she is the most expensive boat on this page, but for a group that wants the full Sunreef 80 experience with real Bahamas availability, we think she is worth the number.
