Bahamas Yacht Charter FAQ

The Bahamas is an excellent sailing destination for first-time yacht charters, offering calm waters, stunning scenery, and plenty of safe anchorages. However, if you're unsure about navigating the area, consider hiring a skipper or opting for a crewed yacht charter for a more relaxed experience.
Prices displayed only include the base yacht rental fee.

For a bareboat rental, you'll have to add the operating costs and the skipper daily rate should you need one.

For a crewed yacht charter, you need to add the Advance Provisioning Allowance aka APA (20 - 40% on top of base fee), taxes and tipping to the crew.

Contact us if you want a more detailed quote for yachts that match your criterias.
Crew members included in your yacht charter in Bahamas depend heavily on the length of your boat.

Bareboat rentals can include one professional skipper.

Smaller yacht charters typically include one captain and one or two stewardesses.

Bigger yachts can include chefs, deckhands, engineers, cleaning staff and even watersports guides.

Get in touch with our team for more details about a yacht you've seen.
