Yacht Charter The Bahamas

Yacht charters in the Bahamas start from approximately $5,000 per day for a 50 ft motor yacht and can exceed $50,000 per day for a large superyacht. Weekly charters range from $25,000 to $400,000+. The Exumas are the most popular charter destination, with Nassau and the Abacos also in high demand. Bluebnc Yachting arranges Bahamas charters with all-inclusive pricing.

The Exuma Cays are the crown jewel of Bahamas chartering, featuring the famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, the Thunderball Grotto (a James Bond filming location), and the pristine sandbars of Pipe Creek. Other highlights include Harbour Island (pink sand beaches), the Abacos (colonial charm), and Eleuthera (dramatic Glass Window Bridge).

The prime charter season runs from November to May, with December to April offering the most reliable weather (24–28 °C, low humidity, minimal rainfall). The Bahamas sit outside the main hurricane belt but June to November carries some tropical weather risk. February and March offer the best combination of weather, water clarity, and marine life encounters.

Yes — the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay in the Exumas are one of the most iconic yacht charter experiences in the world. Bluebnc Yachting includes this stop on most Exuma itineraries. The pigs swim out to visiting boats, and the experience is best enjoyed in the morning before larger tour groups arrive. Our captains know the optimal timing and approach.

Citizens of the US, UK, EU, and most Commonwealth countries do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days in the Bahamas. Your yacht's captain handles all customs and immigration clearance at the port of entry (typically Nassau or Staniel Cay). Bluebnc Yachting manages all documentation and cruising permits as part of the charter arrangement.
