PRIVATE NASSAU CROSSINGS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA

Nassau by Private Yacht Charter

Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, sits on New Providence Island roughly 180 miles from South Florida. A private yacht charter Nassau crossing covers that distance in 6 to 8 hours on an offshore-rated vessel departing from a deep-water marina in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Because of the distance, a Nassau yacht rental is best enjoyed as a multi-day crewed charter, not a same-day trip. Every crossing is completely private, fully crewed, and managed from first inquiry to the final approach into Nassau Harbour.

Crown Yachts Miami operates a fleet of vessels cleared for open-water crossings to the Bahamas. The captain manages the route, weather windows, customs clearance at the Nassau port of entry, and all navigation across the passage. Once you arrive, the islands open up: Paradise Island and Cabbage Beach across the harbour, the calm bays and Sandy Toes beach at Rose Island, snorkeling at Athol Island, and a day at anchor at Blue Lagoon Island. Nassau is also the natural base for reaching the Exumas.

Nassau charter pricing is built around your specific trip. The vessel, number of nights, group size, and add-on services including a private chef, DJ, and open bar all factor in. Share your dates and itinerary via WhatsApp and we build the quote.

WHAT TO EXPECT

How a Nassau Yacht Charter Works

A Nassau yacht charter is a multi-day voyage, not a day charter on the bay. Here is what every crossing includes from first contact to your days at anchor around New Providence Island.

PLAN YOUR CROSSING
A MULTI-DAY CROSSING

180 Miles from South Florida, Best Enjoyed as a Crewed Voyage

Nassau sits on New Providence Island roughly 180 miles from Miami and Fort Lauderdale, a 6 to 8-hour open-water passage. That distance is why a Nassau yacht charter is planned as a multi-day crewed trip rather than a same-day run. The crossing leaves early, reaches the harbour by afternoon, and gives your group full days at anchor before the return. For a shorter first taste of the Bahamas, Bimini is the closest island and can be done in a day.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE

One Group, One Vessel, No Other Passengers

Every Nassau yacht rental is a completely private booking. No shared passengers, no group tour format, no other guests at the marina or on board. Your group has the vessel, the captain, and the full crew exclusively for the entire voyage from the South Florida departure marina to Nassau Harbour and back.

OFFSHORE-RATED VESSELS

Vessels Cleared for the Open Atlantic Crossing to Nassau

A boat charter to Nassau needs more than a bay yacht. Offshore passages require extended fuel range, offshore navigation equipment, stabilization, and full safety gear. Crown Yachts Miami maintains a dedicated list of vessels cleared for the Nassau crossing and confirms vessel eligibility before booking. View the luxury fleet.

CAPTAIN HANDLES EVERYTHING

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 Nassau port of entry, and all navigation across the crossing. Every leg from the South Florida marina to Paradise Island and Rose Island is managed entirely by the crew.

FULL PROVISIONING PRE-LOADED

Every Meal, Drink, and Supply Loaded Before Departure

A multi-day Nassau charter requires everything loaded before leaving the dock. Crown Yachts Miami coordinates full trip provisioning through the onboard catering team and private chef service. All meals, beverages, ice, and daily supplies for the trip are organized before departure. An open bar package and custom decoration for milestone crossings are also available.

ITINERARY OPTIONS

A 3 to 4-Day Nassau Circuit or a Longer Exumas Expedition

Nassau works best on a 3 to 4-day charter that allows one travel day each way and two full days exploring the harbour, Paradise Island, and Rose Island, with a sunset cruise on the calm bank most evenings. Nassau is also the natural base for reaching the Exumas, so many groups combine the two on a multi-day Bahamas charter. The famous swimming pigs and the Exuma islands extend the trip to 5 to 7 days.

DEPARTURE POINTS

South Florida Marinas for Nassau Departures

The Nassau crossing departs deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We match the departure point to where your group is staying and to the offshore vessel assigned for your trip.

Miami Beach Marina

South Beach, Miami

The primary Miami departure point for the Nassau crossing. Located at the southern tip of Miami Beach, adjacent to Government Cut and the open Atlantic. Vessels clear the Cut within minutes of departure and head east into open water. The most requested marina for private yacht charter Nassau crossings from Miami.

Watson Island deep-water marina on the MacArthur Causeway, between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. It accommodates large yachts with deep-water berths and direct bay access, so it is a natural base for the bigger vessels used on a Nassau boat charter. A short transit south reaches Government Cut and the Atlantic.

The best-known marina in Fort Lauderdale, on Seabreeze Boulevard near the beach and the traditional home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. From Bahia Mar the yacht reaches the Port Everglades inlet and the open Atlantic quickly for the crossing to Nassau. A leading Fort Lauderdale departure point for a boat rental Nassau Bahamas voyage.

A deep-water mega-yacht marina on the Intracoastal at the 17th Street Causeway, minutes from the Port Everglades inlet. Its deep berths suit the larger offshore vessels used for a Nassau yacht charter, and the run to open water is short. Convenient for guests staying in the Harbor Beach and 17th Street hotel district.

A landmark full-service marina on the Intracoastal near the 17th Street Causeway, adjacent to the Rio Vista estate neighbourhood. A southbound run reaches the Port Everglades inlet and open water immediately, a practical Fort Lauderdale departure for the Nassau crossing.

BOOKING PROCESS

How to Plan a Nassau Yacht Charter

01

Share Your Dates, Duration, and Group Size

Contact us via WhatsApp with your preferred travel dates, how many nights you have in mind, and how many guests will be on board. Because Nassau is a multi-day trip, we build a route recommendation around your timeline, whether that is a 3-day Nassau circuit or a longer Exumas expedition.

02

Receive an Offshore Vessel Shortlist

We send a curated list of vessels cleared for the Nassau crossing, matched to your group size and duration. Options range from the Lazzara LSX 75 and Princess 88 to the Azimut 116 and Pershing GTX 116. Each option includes offshore range, speed, and cabin capacity for overnight stays.

03

Choose Your Route and Departure Marina

We confirm whether you depart Miami or Fort Lauderdale based on where your group is staying, then finalize the route. A Nassau harbour circuit with Paradise Island and Rose Island, or an extended run to the Exumas. Depart from Miami Beach Marina or a deep-water Fort Lauderdale marina depending on your vessel assignment.

04

Arrange Provisioning, Add-Ons, and Documentation

A multi-day Nassau charter requires full trip 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 crossing dates with a deposit. You receive a full charter agreement covering the marina address, boarding time, captain contact, provisioning confirmation, and a complete checklist of everything included. The captain monitors the marine forecast and confirms the exact departure window 48 hours out.

06

Board, Cross to Nassau, and Explore the Islands

Most Nassau crossings depart early to complete the open-water passage in the calmest part of the day. The captain and crew are on board before you arrive, with every provision and add-on ready. The vessel crosses to New Providence, clears customs in Nassau Harbour, and your group settles in for full days at Paradise Island, Rose Island, and beyond.

AROUND NASSAU

Where to Go on a Nassau Yacht Charter

From Nassau Harbour the islands open up in every direction. Paradise Island and Cabbage Beach, the calm bays of Rose Island, snorkeling at Athol Island, and the run southeast to the Exumas or north to Harbour Island. Every itinerary is built around where you want to go and how long you have.

Select a destination to see where it is

Nassau Harbour

Base of the Trip

Nassau Harbour separates New Providence Island from Paradise Island and is one of the most recognizable anchorages in the region. It is the base of most Nassau charters, with the historic waterfront, the cruise port, and easy access to Cabbage Beach and the resorts on Paradise Island. The captain clears customs here at the official port of entry before the group settles in for the trip.

Paradise Island sits across the harbour from downtown Nassau and is home to Cabbage Beach, one of the finest stretches of sand in the Bahamas. Quiet anchorages on the eastern side give the group beach access away from the cruise terminal, and the yacht can tender guests ashore for the day. A short cruise from the harbour makes Paradise Island the most popular stop on a Nassau yacht rental.

Rose Island lies just east of Paradise Island, a string of calm bays and shallow turquoise water perfect for a day at anchor. Sandy Toes beach on Rose Island is a favorite stop for swimming, paddleboarding, and lunch on the sand. The protected water on the lee side makes it one of the most comfortable anchorages near Nassau, and the run from the harbour takes under an hour.

Blue Lagoon Island, also called Salt Cay, sits a few miles northeast of Paradise Island with sheltered lagoons and palm-lined beaches. It is a classic day-anchor spot on a Nassau charter, with calm water for swimming and easy tender access to the sand. The short hop from Nassau Harbour makes it an easy addition to a day exploring the islands east of New Providence.

Athol Island, between Paradise Island and Rose Island, is the best-known snorkeling stop near Nassau. Clear water and reef around the island make it a natural place to drop anchor with masks and fins on a Nassau boat rental. The crew sets up the water toys while the group snorkels the reef, then continues east to Rose Island for the afternoon.

Nassau is the natural base for reaching the Exumas, a 365-island chain stretching southeast with the clearest water in the Atlantic. From Nassau the yacht can continue to Staniel Cay, the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, and the nurse sharks at Compass Cay. Adding the Exumas turns a Nassau trip into a 5 to 7-day expedition. See the full Exuma yacht charter for the extended route.

It was our first time exploring Miami by yacht and it was one of the best experiences we've had. The crew took great care of us the entire time. They were super friendly and patient. We stopped at multiple spots to take photos and the captain was more than happy to adjust the route whenever we wanted.

We rented the 66ft Azimut during our trip to Miami and it was honestly one of the best days of our vacation. Everything was smooth from the start. We ordered food and drinks ahead of time, and when we arrived, everything was already set up on the yacht and super fresh. The drinks were already chilled in the ice box, which was perfect. We had an amazing time out on the water, everything was exactly how we hoped it would be. Definitely recommend Crown Yachts Miami if you're trying to have a fun day out with friends. Would 100% book again!

FAQ

Nassau Yacht Charter FAQ

How long does the crossing take on a Nassau yacht charter?
Nassau sits on New Providence Island roughly 180 miles from Miami and Fort Lauderdale, a 6 to 8-hour open-water passage on a larger vessel. Because of that distance, a Nassau yacht charter is planned as a multi-day crewed trip rather than a same-day run. The captain departs early to complete the crossing before the afternoon sea breeze builds and reaches Nassau Harbour by afternoon.
Do I need a passport for a Nassau yacht rental to the Bahamas?
Yes. Every passenger needs a valid US passport with at least six months of validity remaining to enter the Bahamas by private vessel. US citizens do not require a visa for stays under 8 months. The captain handles the vessel's Bahamian cruising permit and coordinates customs clearance at the Nassau port of entry. All passengers present their passports to Bahamian customs on arrival.
How many days do I need for a boat charter to Nassau?
Nassau works best on a 3 to 4-day charter, which allows one travel day each way and two full days exploring Nassau Harbour, Paradise Island, Rose Island, and the snorkeling around Athol Island. Groups who want to add the Exumas and the swimming pigs should plan a 5 to 7-day expedition, since the Exumas lie farther southeast of Nassau.
Where does a boat rental Nassau Bahamas crossing depart from?
Crown Yachts Miami runs private crewed charters departing from deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. From Miami the crossing typically leaves Miami Beach Marina or Island Gardens Deep Harbour. From Fort Lauderdale it departs Bahia Mar, Pier Sixty-Six, or Lauderdale Marina near the Port Everglades inlet. We recommend the departure point closest to where your group is staying. For a route-specific overview, see the Miami to Nassau yacht charter page and the Fort Lauderdale to Nassau route.
What can I see and do on a private yacht charter Nassau trip?
A Nassau charter centers on Nassau Harbour, with the historic waterfront and the cruise port, then opens onto the islands nearby. Paradise Island and Cabbage Beach are a short cruise across the harbour. Rose Island offers calm bays and the Sandy Toes beach. Athol Island is the best snorkeling stop, and Blue Lagoon Island is a classic day at anchor. Nassau is also the base for continuing to the Exumas and the swimming pigs.
Do you offer a luxury yacht charter or luxury boat charter in Nassau?
Yes. A luxury yacht charter Nassau Bahamas trip runs on crewed motor yachts and superyachts with a private chef, full crew, and white-glove service throughout. A private boat charter Nassau or luxury boat charter Nassau booking holds the same fully crewed standard on a range of premium vessels. Tell us your dates and group size and we match the right luxury yacht to your Nassau itinerary.
Can I book a Nassau catamaran charter or sailing charter?
Yes. A Nassau catamaran charter suits the shallow, clear water around Rose Island and the cays, with a wide, stable deck for the day, and a catamaran charter Nassau booking works well for larger groups. A Nassau sailing charter on a crewed sailing catamaran offers a quieter pace under sail when conditions allow. Like every yacht rental Nassau guests book with us, both are fully crewed, so you never handle the boat.
Do you run a private Nassau boat tour?
Yes. A Nassau boat tour with Crown Yachts Miami is always private, so your group has the boat to itself. A private boat tour Nassau day can take in Rose Island, the sandbars, and the reefs off Paradise Island, with snorkeling stops along the way. We build the boat tour around what your group wants to see rather than a fixed route.
What is included in a Nassau boat charter?
Every Crown Yachts Miami Nassau charter includes a USCG-licensed captain experienced in offshore and international passages, a professional crew, all vessel navigation and safety equipment, Bahamian cruising permit coordination, and customs entry coordination at Nassau. Full provisioning, a private chef, DJ, watersports equipment, and custom celebration setup are available as add-ons and are pre-loaded before departure from South Florida.
Can I combine a Nassau charter with the Exumas and the swimming pigs?
Yes. Nassau is the natural base for reaching the Exumas, a 365-island chain southeast of New Providence with the clearest water in the Atlantic. From Nassau the yacht continues to Staniel Cay, the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, and the nurse sharks at Compass Cay. Combining the two turns a Nassau trip into a 5 to 7-day multi-day Bahamas charter. See the swimming pigs tour for that itinerary.
What size yacht do I need for a Nassau crossing?
The open-water crossing to Nassau requires an offshore-rated vessel with the range, stability, and navigation equipment for the passage, plus cabins for the overnight stays. Crown Yachts Miami maintains a dedicated list of Nassau-eligible vessels, including the Pershing GTX 116, Azimut 116, Princess 88, and San Lorenzo 97. We confirm vessel eligibility for your dates and group size at booking.
What is the best time of year for a Nassau yacht charter?
November through April is the most popular season for a Nassau yacht rental from South Florida. The northeast trade winds are consistent, water temperatures are warm, and the crossing is generally more predictable. December through March can bring occasional cold fronts, so the captain times the departure between fronts. May and October suit groups who need to travel during hurricane season.
How much does a Nassau yacht charter cost?
Nassau charter pricing is built around your specific trip. The vessel, number of nights, group size, and add-on services including provisioning, a private chef, and DJ all factor into the total. We do not publish fixed rates for Nassau crossings because no two trips use the same vessel for the same route over the same number of days. Share your dates, duration, and group size via WhatsApp and we build a quote tailored to your Nassau yacht charter. Browse the offshore fleet.
