Amazing yacht rental experience. Ben was great on board, helpful, friendly and on top of everything. Everything went perfect, and the jet skis were superior. Will definitely be back.
Liveaboard Cruising Across the Islands

AS SEEN IN
PRIVATE LIVEABOARD CHARTERS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA
The Bahamas Over Several Nights Aboard
A Bahamas multi day charter is a fully crewed liveaboard trip that cruises the islands over several nights instead of a single day at sea. The yacht is your accommodation the whole way, so there are no island hotels to book and no luggage to move. Every trip departs from a deep-water marina in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, private to your group and sized from two nights to a full week.
Crown Yachts Miami is a South Florida operator running private, crewed charters across to the Bahamas. The captain stages the Gulf Stream crossing for the calmest window, then plans each onward leg between islands: Bimini and Cat Cay first, the Berry Islands and Nassau midway, and the Exumas on longer routes. Provisioning, route planning, and customs entry are handled by the crew, so you wake up at a new anchorage each morning with nothing to arrange.
A multi day boat charter to the Bahamas is quoted per trip. The vessel, the number of nights, the islands on the route, the group size, and add-ons such as a private chef and an open bar all factor in. Share your dates and islands via WhatsApp and we build the quote.

WHAT TO EXPECT
How a Multi-Day Bahamas Charter Works
A multi-day Bahamas charter is a liveaboard trip across the islands, not a single crossing. Here is what every trip includes, from the marina in Florida to the last anchorage before the run home.
PLAN YOUR TRIPLIVEABOARD FORMAT
Your Cabin Is Your Accommodation for the Whole Trip
A multi-day Bahamas charter is a liveaboard trip. Your private cabin doubles as your room for every night of the itinerary, so there are no island hotels to book and no luggage to move between stops. Your group unpacks once at the South Florida departure marina and wakes up at a new Bahamian anchorage each morning, whether the trip runs a single overnight, two nights, or a full seven-night week.
FLEXIBLE 2 TO 7+ NIGHTS
Trips Sized to the Islands You Want to Reach
Multi day charter lengths flex to the route. A single overnight suits a first Bimini crossing, a Bimini and Berry Islands run suits two to three nights, Nassau and the northern cays suit three to four, and the Exumas need five or more. A full weekly Bahamas charter of seven nights gives the widest range and the most relaxed pace.
STAGED CROSSINGS
The Gulf Stream Crossing Timed by the Captain
A multi day boat charter to the Bahamas begins with the Gulf Stream crossing from South Florida, roughly 50 nautical miles of open water to Bimini. The captain stages the departure for the calmest window, then builds each onward leg between islands around the marine forecast. On longer routes the crew plans intermediate anchorages so no single day at sea is longer than it needs to be.
PROVISIONING INCLUDED
Every Meal and Supply Loaded Before You Leave the Dock
Bahamas island charters run beyond easy resupply, so everything is loaded before departure. Crown Yachts Miami coordinates full trip provisioning through the onboard catering team and private chef service. Meals, beverages, ice, and daily supplies for the entire liveaboard itinerary are sourced in Florida. An open bar package and custom decoration for a milestone trip are available.
ROUTE PLANNING
A Custom Island Itinerary Built Around Your Group
Every multi day yacht charter Bahamas itinerary is planned before you board. The captain maps the island order, the crossing timing, and the anchorages around your dates, group, and interests, from the Bimini flats to the Exuma cays. Snorkel stops, beach days, and fishing runs are slotted in where they fit the route best.
CAPTAIN HANDLES ENTRY
Customs, Cruising Permit, and Navigation Managed by the Crew
Passengers carry only a valid passport. The captain handles the Bahamian cruising permit, vessel documentation, customs clearance at the official port of entry, and all navigation across every leg of the trip. From the crossing to the return, the international paperwork and the route are managed entirely by the crew.
DEPARTURE POINTS
Miami and Fort Lauderdale Departure Marinas
Multi-day Bahamas trips depart from deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We assign the departure point closest to where your group is staying for the shortest run to the crossing.
Select a marina to see the location
Miami Beach Marina
South Beach, Miami
The primary departure point for multi-day Bahamas trips. At the southern tip of Miami Beach beside Government Cut, vessels clear the channel within minutes and are in open water heading east toward Bimini and the wider Bahamian bank. The most requested marina for liveaboard crossings from Miami.
A Watson Island deep-water marina on the MacArthur Causeway between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. It accommodates larger liveaboard vessels with deep-water berths, and a short transit south reaches Government Cut and the open Atlantic for the crossing.
On the eastern shore of Key Biscayne with direct Atlantic access east of the island. One of the closest Miami departure points to open water, cutting the run out toward Cat Cay and Bimini at the start of a multi-day itinerary with no inner bay transit required.
Miami's largest marina in the sheltered waterfront neighborhood of Coconut Grove. The southern approach from Dinner Key takes vessels through the lower bay toward Government Cut and the Florida Straits, a convenient start for guests staying south of downtown before a Bahamas liveaboard trip.
The best-known marina in Fort Lauderdale, on Seabreeze Boulevard at Fort Lauderdale Beach. From Bahia Mar the yacht clears Port Everglades and heads straight across the Gulf Stream, a popular Fort Lauderdale start for a multi-day Bahamas crossing.
A deep-water mega-yacht marina on the Intracoastal at the 17th Street Causeway near Rio Vista, minutes from the Port Everglades inlet. A natural Fort Lauderdale departure for the larger vessels used on longer liveaboard itineraries.

BOOKING PROCESS
How to Plan a Multi-Day Bahamas Charter
01
Share Your Dates, Islands, and Group Size
Contact us via WhatsApp with your preferred travel window, how many nights you have in mind, the islands you want to reach, and how many guests will be aboard. We respond with available offshore vessels and a route recommendation matched to your group and timeline.
02
Receive an Offshore Vessel Shortlist
We send a curated list of vessels cleared for Bahamas crossings and sized to your group and route. Options range from the Lazzara LSX 75 and Azimut 105 to the Azimut 116 and Pershing GTX 116. Each option lists offshore range, cabin count, and passenger capacity for a liveaboard trip.
03
Plan the Route and Number of Nights
We finalize the island order and the length of the trip: a two to three-night Bimini and Berry Islands run, a four-night Nassau circuit, or a longer island-hopping route toward the Exumas. The captain stages the Gulf Stream crossing and each onward leg around the marine forecast so the days at sea stay comfortable.
04
Arrange Provisioning, Add-Ons, and Documentation
Multi-day trips require full provisioning loaded before departure. We coordinate with the private chef on menus and dietary requirements, confirm the beverage package, and arrange any celebration setup. Every passenger receives the passport and documentation checklist at this stage.
05
Confirm with a Deposit and Receive Your Charter Agreement
Secure the vessel and dates with a deposit. You receive a full charter agreement covering the marina address, boarding time, captain contact, provisioning confirmation, and the complete route with everything included. The captain monitors the marine forecast and confirms the departure window ahead of the crossing.
06
Board, Cross, and Live Aboard the Islands
Board at the South Florida marina with everything already loaded, cross the Gulf Stream on the captain's chosen window, and settle into the liveaboard rhythm. Each morning the vessel moves to a new anchorage on the planned route, and the crew handles navigation, meals, and entry paperwork the whole way. See the full range of crossings on the Bahamas charters hub.
WHERE YOU WILL CRUISE
Islands on a Multi-Day Route
A multi-day charter strings several islands into one liveaboard route, from a two-night Bimini and Berry Islands run to a full Exumas expedition. Each trip is built around the islands you want and the nights you have.
Select an island to see where it is
Bimini
1-2 NightsBimini is the closest Bahamian island to South Florida, roughly 50 nautical miles east across the Gulf Stream, and the usual first stop on a multi-day route. North Bimini has a marina, restaurants, and the flats at Honeymoon Harbour with its friendly stingrays; the SS Sapona wreck sits in shallow water nearby. Most liveaboard trips spend a night here to break the crossing before pushing on. See the Bimini charter.
The Berry Islands are a chain of roughly 30 cays about 150 nautical miles from South Florida. Chub Cay at the southern end is the main port and a base for deep-sea fishing along the Tongue of the Ocean. The Berries are known for empty anchorages and the absence of the weekend traffic that reaches Bimini, which makes them a favorite middle leg on a multi-day liveaboard route toward Nassau.
Nassau on New Providence Island is the Bahamian capital and a natural hub on a longer trip, about 180 nautical miles from South Florida. Nassau Harbour, Paradise Island beaches, and full marina services make it a comfortable resupply point midway through a liveaboard itinerary. Many routes reach Nassau in stages by way of Bimini and the Berry Islands. See the Nassau charter.
The Exumas are a 365-island chain stretching southeast of Nassau, with water clarity widely rated the finest in the Atlantic. Highlights include the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, the nurse sharks at Compass Cay, and the Exuma Land and Sea Park. The Exumas are the reward at the end of a longer liveaboard route and need five nights or more to reach and explore. See the Exuma charter.
Cat Cay is a private island just south of Bimini, roughly 55 nautical miles from South Florida. The surrounding sandbars rival any in the northern Bahamas for clarity and make an easy first anchorage on a multi-day trip, especially for vessels departing from Key Biscayne or Fort Lauderdale on the shorter southern crossing.
Andros is the largest and least developed island in the Bahamas, about 160 nautical miles from South Florida. The Andros Barrier Reef, the third largest in the world, runs along the eastern shore within reach of snorkelers straight off the yacht, and the Tongue of the Ocean drops thousands of feet just offshore. Andros suits a multi-day group that prioritizes diving, fishing, and quiet over marinas and nightlife.
- Bimini1-2 NightsBimini is the closest Bahamian island to South Florida, roughly 50 nautical miles east across the Gulf Stream, and the usual first stop on a multi-day route. North Bimini has a marina, restaurants, and the flats at Honeymoon Harbour with its friendly stingrays; the SS Sapona wreck sits in shallow water nearby. Most liveaboard trips spend a night here to break the crossing before pushing on. See the Bimini charter.
- Berry Islands2-3 NightsThe Berry Islands are a chain of roughly 30 cays about 150 nautical miles from South Florida. Chub Cay at the southern end is the main port and a base for deep-sea fishing along the Tongue of the Ocean. The Berries are known for empty anchorages and the absence of the weekend traffic that reaches Bimini, which makes them a favorite middle leg on a multi-day liveaboard route toward Nassau.
- Nassau3-4 NightsNassau on New Providence Island is the Bahamian capital and a natural hub on a longer trip, about 180 nautical miles from South Florida. Nassau Harbour, Paradise Island beaches, and full marina services make it a comfortable resupply point midway through a liveaboard itinerary. Many routes reach Nassau in stages by way of Bimini and the Berry Islands. See the Nassau charter.
- Exumas5-7+ NightsThe Exumas are a 365-island chain stretching southeast of Nassau, with water clarity widely rated the finest in the Atlantic. Highlights include the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, the nurse sharks at Compass Cay, and the Exuma Land and Sea Park. The Exumas are the reward at the end of a longer liveaboard route and need five nights or more to reach and explore. See the Exuma charter.
- Cat CayDay or Overnight StopCat Cay is a private island just south of Bimini, roughly 55 nautical miles from South Florida. The surrounding sandbars rival any in the northern Bahamas for clarity and make an easy first anchorage on a multi-day trip, especially for vessels departing from Key Biscayne or Fort Lauderdale on the shorter southern crossing.

MESSAGE ON WHATSAPPBAHAMAS MULTI-DAY YACHT CHARTER
A Liveaboard Trip Across the Islands: Two Nights to a Full Week
Crown Yachts Miami runs private, crewed liveaboard charters that cross to the Bahamas from Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Every trip is fully private and managed from first inquiry to the last anchorage before the run home.
Liveaboard Bahamas: One Vessel, Several Islands
A new anchorage every morning
A multi day yacht charter Bahamas trip turns the islands into one continuous route. Your group boards once in South Florida, the captain stages the Gulf Stream crossing, and each morning the vessel moves to a new anchorage. Crown Yachts Miami operates private yachts with the range and cabins for a liveaboard trip, departing from Miami Beach Marina or the nearest marina to your group.
Provisioning and Route Planning: Everything Loaded Before You Leave
Beyond the reach of easy resupply
Bahamas island charters run past the point of quick resupply, so everything comes aboard in Florida. Meals, beverages, ice, and daily supplies for the full itinerary are sourced before departure, with a private chef and open bar service available. The captain plans the island order and each crossing around the marine forecast, so the days at sea stay short and the anchorages come at the right pace.
A South Florida Operator: The Crew Handles Customs, You Carry a Passport
Entry into the Bahamas managed from the dock in Florida
Crown Yachts Miami is a South Florida operator; we do not keep a base in the islands. Every liveaboard trip begins and ends at a Miami or Fort Lauderdale marina, and the captain and crew stay with the vessel the whole way. Entering the Bahamas by private vessel requires a cruising permit, vessel documentation, and customs clearance at the port of entry, and the captain handles all of it. Passengers carry only a valid US passport with at least six months of validity, so nothing about the international crossing falls to you.
Sized to Your Trip: From Two Nights to a Full Week
The route flexes to the islands you want
A multi day boat charter Bahamas trip flexes to fit your time. Two to three nights covers Bimini and the Berry Islands, four reaches Nassau, and five or more opens the Exumas or a longer island-hopping route. If you already know you want the full seven nights, a weekly Bahamas charter of seven nights is the format, or explore the luxury Bahamas fleet.

FAQ
Bahamas Multi-Day Charter FAQ
- What is a Bahamas multi-day yacht charter?
- A Bahamas multi-day yacht charter is a fully crewed, private liveaboard trip of two to seven or more nights, departing from South Florida and cruising the islands. Your group has exclusive use of the vessel and all cabins for the whole trip, and the yacht is your accommodation each night at anchor. It differs from a single-day crossing because you keep moving between islands, from Bimini to Nassau and the Exumas, on one continuous itinerary.
- How many nights do I need for a Bahamas multi-day charter?
- It depends on how far you want to go. A single overnight works for a first Bimini crossing. A Bimini and Berry Islands trip suits two to three nights. Nassau and the northern cays work well over three to four. The Exumas need a minimum of five nights, and a full seven-night week allows the most relaxed pace or a multi-island route. We match the number of nights to the islands you want to reach and the time you have.
- Do I need a passport for a multi-day Bahamas yacht charter?
- Yes. Every guest needs a valid US passport to enter the Bahamas by private vessel, and we recommend at least six months of validity remaining. US citizens do not require a visa for stays under 8 months. The captain handles the Bahamian cruising permit and clears customs at the official port of entry on arrival, so all each passenger needs to carry is the passport itself.
- How is a multi-day charter different from a weekly Bahamas charter?
- A multi-day charter is flexible on length, from a single overnight to seven nights or more, so you can size the trip to the islands you want and the time you have. A weekly Bahamas charter is simply the seven-night version, which gives the fullest range and the most relaxed pace. Both are the same fully crewed liveaboard trip from South Florida, so an overnight, a mid-week trip, or a full week is booked right here.
- What is included in a Bahamas multi-day yacht charter?
- Every trip includes a licensed captain and professional crew, fuel for the planned route, all navigation and safety equipment, Bahamian cruising permit coordination, and customs clearance at the port of entry. Full provisioning, a private chef, open bar service, watersports gear, and celebration decoration are available as add-ons and loaded before departure from Florida.
- Do you offer an overnight yacht charter in the Bahamas?
- Yes. An overnight yacht charter Bahamas trip is simply the shortest multi-day charter: a single night aboard at anchor in a quiet cay, most often on a Bimini or Berry Islands run. You sleep in a private cabin, wake up on the water, and cruise home the next day. It is the same crewed liveaboard format as a longer trip, sized to one night, so there is no separate booking process.
- What can I see on a 3-day or 5-day Bahamas yacht charter?
- A 3-day yacht charter Bahamas trip is ideal for Bimini, the Berry Islands, or Nassau and the nearby cays, with a relaxed pace and time in the water at every stop. A 5-day yacht charter Bahamas itinerary reaches farther and opens up the Exumas, with the swimming pigs, Thunderball Grotto, and the sandbars on the route. We build the plan around the islands you most want to see and the number of days you have aboard.
- Which islands can I reach on a multi-day charter from South Florida?
- Bimini and Cat Cay are the closest and usually the first stop. The Berry Islands and Andros suit three to four-night trips. Nassau is a natural hub midway through a longer route, and the Exumas are the highlight of a five-night or longer itinerary. Eleuthera, Harbour Island, and the Abacos can be added on extended charters. The route is built around where you want to go and how long you have.
- How much does a Bahamas multi-day yacht charter cost?
- A multi-day Bahamas charter is quoted per trip rather than at a fixed rate, because the total depends on the vessel, the number of nights, the islands on the route, the group size, and add-ons such as a private chef and open bar. No two liveaboard itineraries use the same vessel over the same route for the same number of nights. Share your dates, islands, and group size via WhatsApp and we build a quote tailored to your trip. Browse the fleet.
- Where do multi-day Bahamas charters depart from?
- Our multi-day Bahamas charters depart from deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. In Miami the most popular departures are Miami Beach Marina beside Government Cut, Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island, and Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. In Fort Lauderdale, Bahia Mar and Pier Sixty-Six sit minutes from the Port Everglades inlet. We recommend the departure point closest to where your group is staying.
- Is Crown Yachts Miami based in the Bahamas?
- No. Crown Yachts Miami is a South Florida operator running private, crewed charters that cross to the Bahamas from Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We do not maintain a local base or office in the islands. Every trip begins and ends at a South Florida marina, and the captain and crew stay with the vessel throughout the Bahamian itinerary, handling the crossing, navigation, and customs entry the whole way.
- What is the best time of year for a multi-day Bahamas charter?
- November through April is the most popular season for Bahamas crossings from South Florida. The trade winds are consistent, the water is warm, and the Gulf Stream is generally more predictable than in summer. December through March can bring occasional cold fronts, so the captain times the departure and each onward leg between fronts. May and October are the preferred months for groups traveling during hurricane season.
