Looking for the best crewed motor yacht charters in the Bahamas? A motor yacht is still the default choice out here: the islands are spread out, and speed is what turns a five-hour crossing into a two-hour hop, leaving you more time at anchor and less time underway. We’ve handpicked these 10 yachts based on amenities, condition, value for money, crew, and firsthand broker and guest feedback, not just size or headline price.
Every yacht on this list has a real track record in Bahamian waters: charters our brokers have booked directly, crews we’ve met in person at the Bahamas Yacht Show, or guests who came back and told us exactly what worked. They’re ranked #10 to #1 by weekly rate, so you can see where your budget lands before you start comparing layouts.
10. BEACHFRONT | 108ft
BEACHFRONT is a 108ft Hargrave, built in 2006 and refit in 2022, based in Nassau. She sleeps 10 guests across 5 en-suite cabins, and our broker Nadja booked her for a client in January 2025, and the feedback came back fast: “best trip of my life, my only complaint is that it wasn’t longer.”
We like the sundeck as the social hub here: dining space, built-in sofas, sun loungers, and an on-deck Jacuzzi that keeps the daily rhythm simple: swim, soak, repeat.
Her crew consistently goes above and beyond, from themed dinners to drone footage of the trip, and Chef Martin’s cooking earned particular praise. At $64,900 to $90,000 a week, she is the most accessible entry point on this list.
9. TAIL LIGHTS | 116ft
TAIL LIGHTS is a 116ft Azimut, built in 2011 and refit in 2016, and she is built around the flybridge: a deck Jacuzzi, wet bar, and alfresco dining so nobody has to choose between shade, snacks, and staying part of the conversation.
We particularly like the owner’s suite here, reached via its own private staircase amidships, with a king bed, sitting area, self-service bar, and a proper en-suite with both a bathtub and a separate rain shower. It reads as a genuine retreat, not just a bigger cabin.
She sleeps up to 10 across 5 suites, and Captain Sean’s crew has built a strong reputation with families specifically. One recent group told us the crew “really made the trip something special.”
8. NO MATTER WHAT | 88ft
NO MATTER WHAT is an 88ft San Lorenzo, built in 2022, and our broker Chris was onboard at the Bahamas Yacht Show and came away seriously impressed: a sharp, stylish yacht with real volume inside and an aft deck built around an inflatable toy dock.
We like the partially enclosed flybridge with air conditioning and a sunroof, a smart touch that extends usable space whatever the weather. Four en-suite cabins sleep 8 guests, a solid layout for a smaller group that still wants a proper crew.
The energetic crew and rotating chef are an advantage here, and we would call this a well-rounded charter from top to bottom.
7. KASHMIR | 133ft
KASHMIR is a 133ft motor yacht, built in 2008 and refit in 2021, homeported in Nassau, and she sleeps 12 guests across 6 suites. We like that she carries two Jacuzzis: one on deck for the whole group, plus a private spa Jacuzzi in the on-deck primary suite for a quieter soak.
Her toy list does not hold back: a custom water slide, two Yamaha WaveRunners, two Seabobs, paddleboards, wakeboard, towables, and adult water skis, enough to split a group into “full speed” and “just floating” without anyone feeling short-changed.
Captain David’s crew has built a genuine following with returning families. One recent group called his command of the boat “amazing” and said they felt very safe throughout.
6. MISS STEPHANIE | 138ft
MISS STEPHANIE is a 138ft tri-deck built in 2004 and refit in 2018, and she was actually used to film Fool’s Gold with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. Our broker Nadja visited her at the Bahamas Yacht Show and came away fully recommending her. Chief Stewardess Winnie and the crew bring genuine energy and warmth to the guest experience.
She sleeps up to 12 guests across 6 staterooms, and we like the toy chest here specifically: four jet skis, two Seabobs, a 39ft Yellowfin center console rigged for fishing with its own dive door, plus the usual paddleboards, wakeboard, and towables.
She is one of the few yachts on this list with six bathtubs, a small detail that regularly gets mentioned in guest feedback.
5. SWEET ESCAPE | 130ft
SWEET ESCAPE is a 130ft Christensen, built in 1993 and refit in 2022, and our broker William picked her for a client specifically for two reasons: her bold, unforgettable interior and her long-standing record of happy guests.
She sleeps 12 across 6 suites and leans hard into watersports: a giant waterslide, Flyboard, and eFoil, backed by a submersible aft swim platform that makes water access genuinely easy for kids and less confident swimmers.
Review after review says the same thing: a crew that goes above and beyond, incredible food, and a level of care that makes guests feel truly looked after from morning coffee to evening champagne. One family’s charter here marked a 60th wedding anniversary, and they called it “an astounding week of togetherness.”
4. MEMENTO VIVERE | 130ft
MEMENTO VIVERE is a 130ft Westport with a 2021 refit, and she is built around deck life: a deck Jacuzzi and multiple alfresco zones mean the group can rotate from lunch to lounging without playing musical chairs.
We like her watersports program specifically: an inflatable waterslide, two Jet Skis, a Seabob, and an e-foil, plus a 32ft Intrepid tender for beach runs and a change of pace when the group wants one.
She sleeps 10 across 5 cabins, and Chef Warren’s cooking gets singled out in nearly every piece of guest feedback we see. One family called the whole week “the most memorable and fun ever,” and told us the crew felt like family by the time they left.
3. ROMEO FOXTROT | 118ft
ROMEO FOXTROT is a 2024-built 118ft Hargrave tri-deck, and our broker Chris toured her at the Bahamas Yacht Show and came away impressed by how modern and meticulously finished she feels for her size.
She sleeps 10 across 5 cabins, including a full-beam on-deck master, and we particularly like the sundeck: a waterfall-style Jacuzzi, full bar, dining space, and a proper day head, plus a sky lounge with a glass-top bar for the group that wants the view without the wind.
The toy list is stacked: a brand-new 32ft Grady White tender, jet skis, Seabobs, and paddleboards. The beach club setup even includes a steam room, a rare touch at this size.
2. JUST ENOUGH | 141ft
JUST ENOUGH is a 141ft tri-deck, built in 2012 and refit in 2024, and she ticks every box we look for at this size: a genuine jacuzzi, a serious toy list including a floating swimming pool and tri-deck water slide, and a crew guests consistently rave about.
She sleeps 11 across 5 cabins, and we like the classic, elegant interior here, with warm wood finishes throughout that make the yacht feel more like a private residence than a typical charter boat.
Guests talk about Michelin-worthy meals and cabins that somehow stay spotless all week, and by the end of most charters the crew feels more like friends than staff.
1. MISS CHRISTINE | 157ft
MISS CHRISTINE tops this list for us. She is a 157ft Trinity Yachts tri-deck, built in 2006, with multiple leisure areas spread across three decks and a full-beam main-deck master that includes a private office and his-and-hers bathrooms.
We think the sundeck is where she wins: a deck Jacuzzi, wet bar, and BBQ upstairs, plus three separate alfresco dining areas so the group can change scenery without changing plans.
Captain KC’s crew has built an exceptional reputation with guests specifically. One recent group called the quality of service “the highest level” they had experienced in years, and said the captain introduced them to places they did not know a boat this size could reach. At $165,000 to $189,750 a week, she is the most expensive yacht on this page, and by every account we have heard, she earns it.
