The charter season in the Bahamas spreads pretty much year-round, with balmy climes and shallow waters making it more or less ideal to cruise all year round. However, the peak charter season is from mid-December to the end of April. The best time to charter a yacht in the Bahamas is going to be around Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Easter.
Most of the yacht charters in the Bahamas will start in Nassau with a vibrant nightlife, iconic scenery, and proximity to high-end resorts. The renowned Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, with exciting casinos and fine dining options.
Our charter broker Bradley Van-Rooyen cruised the Bahamas extensively in his previous life aboard a successful charter yacht and pulled together the following sports for you:
- Nassau - Golf, restaurants, nightlife, casinos.
- Rose Island - Uninhabited private Island to enjoy the private beaches. Perfect for picnics and beach BBQs.
- Staniel Cay - Home of the swimming pigs and is a great location to enjoy some fishing and exploring the reefs. For any James Bond fans, this is a must-stop. As some of James Bond's famous scenes are filmed at the Thunderball Grotto.
- Compass Cay - Home to the nurse sharks that if done with caution you can almost hand feed the sharks from the swim platform at night time.
- Shroud Cay - Mangrove-style areas around here make for great fishing, conch, and lobster fishing too. This is also a hot spot to see turtles along with many different bird species. Snorkelling and kayaking here are also highly recommended.
- Norman Cay - This has to be done for anyone who has seen Narcos or knows of Pablo Escobar as this is where you can snorkel or dive into one of the wrecks from when one of his planes crashed into the ocean.
- Harbour island - This is where you go to step back in time and see the colonial buildings all brightly painted in pastel colours. Lovely local markets and perfect restaurants to taste some of the local cuisines.
- Grand Bahama - This is the perfect place to go for the daredevil inside you who wishes to dive with sharks or snorkel some of the prettiest reefs you might ever see.

- Spanish Wells - This is a fantastic place to snorkel, fish, and scuba dive as the extensive reefs here are home to much marine life over the years the reef has also claimed many ships in the past leaving wrecks for you to explore.
