Planning a luxury yacht charter vacation in the Bahamas?

Louis Lamprell, a seasoned charter broker with a wealth of knowledge, shares invaluable tips and insights on where to go and what to do on your Bahamas yacht charter in 2024.

Why you should go to the Bahamas for your next yacht charter vacation

The Bahamas offers an expansive playground for yacht charter guests. There is so much to see and do, so much natural beauty, clean white beaches, clear water, incredible marine life, and endless beautiful islands to visit.

It is also known as one of the best diving destinations in the world, AND it has ideal conditions for many kinds of water sports, from windsurfing to Jet skiing!

Some of the famous islands you will already know about, and others are unique areas only accessible when you are on a yacht. An Exuma yacht charter takes you to both iconic destinations and secluded spots away from the tourist crowds.

The distance from Grand Bahama Island in the very north to the Inagua Islands in the very south of the Bahamas is over 400 nautical miles. You, therefore, have to be selective in where you go on your Bahamas yacht charters, especially if you only have one week.

Luckily, the very best part of the Bahamas lies right in the center, easily reached from Nassau, where you will fly into. The area I am referring to is, of course, the Exumas or the Exuma Cays.

Sheltered by the outer islands to the north and Cuba and Haiti to the south, this is a very protected cruising ground. For this reason, an Exuma yacht charter is ideal even for those new to yacht charting.

Where to start your Bahamas yacht charter

Your charter typically begins in Nassau, the gateway to the Exumas. From there, you make your way down through the protected waters of the Exuma Island Chain.

You can then either head back up, reaching Eleuthera and Harbor Island, or you can focus on just enjoying your time hopping around the Exumas, where you can easily spend a week or more.

If this is your first time in the Bahamas, I recommend sticking with an Exuma yacht charter itinerary.

Why the Exumas is the best charter destination in the Bahamas

As I mentioned in the beginning, the Exumas are very protected, which means more comfortable sailing.

The islands are also very close together, which means the passages are quick, so you will have more time to explore the land, go diving or snorkeling, try out different water sports, and simply lean back and take in the stunning surroundings.

The Exumas are renowned for several standout attractions and hot spots that make it one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for yacht charters and travelers seeking unique island experiences.

Below I have listed some of the hot spots included in our typical Bahamas yacht charter itineraries.
