PRIVATE CREWED BAHAMAS CHARTERS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA
The Bahamas by Crewed Luxury Yacht
The Bahamas begin just east of the Florida coast, across the Gulf Stream. A luxury yacht charter Bahamas voyage covers that open water aboard a fully crewed superyacht departing from a deep-water marina in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Crown Yachts Miami is a South Florida operator, and every crossing is completely private, fully crewed, and managed from first inquiry to the final anchorage in the islands.
We operate a fleet of luxury yachts and superyachts cleared for open-water passages to the Bahamas. The captain manages the route, weather windows, customs clearance at the Bahamian port of entry, and all navigation. Once you arrive, the islands open up: Nassau and Paradise Island, the extraordinary water of the Exumas, the pink sand of Harbour Island, and the quieter cruising grounds of the Berry Islands and the Abacos. White-glove service, a private chef, and full provisioning come standard on the multi-day itineraries.
Luxury Bahamas charter pricing is built around your specific voyage. The vessel, islands, 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 Luxury Bahamas Yacht Charter Works
A luxury yacht charter in the Bahamas is a fully crewed voyage, not a day charter on the bay. Here is what every crossing includes from first contact to your days at anchor across the islands.
PLAN YOUR CHARTERFULLY CREWED
Captain, Crew, and White-Glove Service on Every Charter
A crewed yacht charter Bahamas voyage means a USCG-licensed captain and a full professional crew handle every mile. Navigation, anchoring, tender operations, and the daily service that defines a luxury yacht charter Bahamas experience are all managed for you. Passengers do nothing but enjoy the water. Crown Yachts Miami operates luxury vessels and superyachts built for the open Atlantic and extended island time.
COMPLETELY PRIVATE
One Group, One Vessel, No Other Passengers
Every private luxury yacht Bahamas booking belongs entirely to your group. No shared passengers, no group tour format, no other guests at the marina or on board. The vessel, the captain, and the full crew are yours for the entire voyage from the South Florida departure marina to every Bahamian anchorage and back.
OPEN-WATER VESSELS
Superyachts Built for the Gulf Stream and Island Passages
A luxury boat charter Bahamas voyage needs more than a bay yacht. Open-water crossings require extended fuel range, offshore navigation equipment, stabilization, and full safety gear. Crown Yachts Miami maintains a dedicated fleet of superyachts and luxury motor yachts cleared for the crossing and confirms vessel eligibility before booking. View the superyacht fleet.
CHEF AND PROVISIONING
Private Chef, Full Provisioning, and Open Bar Pre-Loaded
A multi-day luxury yacht rental Bahamas trip requires everything loaded before leaving the dock. Crown Yachts Miami coordinates full trip provisioning through the onboard catering team and private chef service. Every meal, beverage, and daily supply for the voyage is sourced and organized before departure. An open bar package and custom decoration for milestone crossings are also available.
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 throughout the voyage. Every leg from the South Florida marina to Nassau, the Exumas, and Harbour Island is managed entirely by the crew.
ITINERARY OPTIONS
A Nassau Circuit, an Exumas Expedition, or a Custom Route
Nassau and the Berry Islands suit 3 to 4-day charters. The Exumas require a minimum 5-day itinerary, ideally 7. Harbour Island, Eleuthera, and the Abacos extend the route on a longer voyage. Many groups combine several islands on a single multi-day Bahamas charter. For a shorter first taste, a Bimini day trip or overnight is the closest crossing.
DEPARTURE POINTS
South Florida Marinas for Bahamas Departures
Crewed luxury Bahamas charters depart deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. We match the departure point to where your group is staying and to the superyacht assigned for your voyage.
Select a marina to see the location
Miami Beach Marina
South Beach, Miami
The primary Miami departure point for a luxury yacht charter to the Bahamas. Located at the southern tip of Miami Beach, adjacent to Government Cut and the open Atlantic. Vessels clear the Cut within minutes and head east into open water toward the Bahamian Bank. The most requested marina for crewed crossings to Bimini, Nassau, and the Exumas.
Watson Island deep-water marina on the MacArthur Causeway, between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. It accommodates large superyachts with deep-water berths and direct bay access, so it is a natural base for the bigger vessels used on a luxury Bahamas 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 Bahamas crossing. A leading Fort Lauderdale departure point for a crewed luxury yacht charter.
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 superyachts used for a luxury yacht charter Bahamas voyage, 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 Bahamas crossing.
At the Rickenbacker Causeway entrance, gateway to Key Biscayne and a southern Miami approach to the Atlantic. Vessels exit through the Cape Florida Channel for the open-water crossing to Cat Cay and Bimini. A convenient Miami departure for guests staying south of the city.

BOOKING PROCESS
How to Plan a Luxury Bahamas Yacht Charter
01
Share Your Dates, Islands, and Group Size
Contact us via WhatsApp with your preferred travel dates, the Bahamian islands you have in mind, and how many guests will be on board. We respond with available crewed vessels and a route recommendation tailored to your group and timeline.
02
Receive a Crewed Superyacht Shortlist
We send a curated list of superyachts and luxury motor yachts cleared for open-water Bahamas crossings, matched to your group size and route. 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 circuit, a full Exumas expedition, or a multi-island run to Harbour Island and the Abacos. Depart from Miami Beach Marina or a deep-water Fort Lauderdale marina depending on your vessel assignment.
04
Arrange Provisioning, Chef, and Documentation
A multi-day luxury 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 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, and Explore the Bahamas
Most Bahamas 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 clears customs at the Bahamian port of entry and your group settles in for full days at Nassau, the Exumas, and Harbour Island.
BAHAMIAN DESTINATIONS
Where to Go on a Luxury Bahamas Charter
Six Bahamian destinations reachable by private luxury yacht from South Florida, from a Bimini crossing to a full Exumas expedition and the pink sand of 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
3-4 DaysNassau, the capital of the Bahamas, sits on New Providence Island and is the base of most luxury charters. Nassau Harbour divides New Providence and Paradise Island and opens onto Cabbage Beach, the calm bays of Rose Island, and snorkeling at Athol Island. The captain clears customs here at the official port of entry. Nassau works best on a 3 to 4-day charter and is the natural gateway to the Exumas. See the full Nassau yacht charter.
The Exumas are a 365-island chain stretching southeast of Nassau with water clarity widely considered the finest in the Atlantic. Key stops include Staniel Cay, the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, Thunderball Grotto, the nurse sharks at Compass Cay, and the Exuma Land and Sea Park. The Exumas require a minimum 5-day luxury charter, with 7 days allowing a more relaxed pace. See the full Exuma yacht charter.
Harbour Island, off the northern tip of Eleuthera, is famous for its three-mile pink sand beach and the historic settlement of Dunmore Town. The pink hue comes from crushed coral in the sand. Calm anchorages and boutique charm make Harbour Island one of the most exclusive stops in the Bahamas, reached on an extended luxury charter from South Florida via Nassau or the northern route.
Bimini is the closest point in the Bahamas to South Florida, roughly 50 nautical miles east across the Gulf Stream. North Bimini has a main marina, restaurants, and direct access to clear Bahamian flats with 30 to 50 feet of visibility. South Bimini offers protected anchorages and calmer water. Bimini is the most popular first crossing and works as a day trip or overnight before continuing to the wider Bahamas. See Bahamas boat rental options.
The Berry Islands are a collection of roughly 30 cays and rocks between Bimini and Nassau. Chub Cay at the southern end is the main port of entry. The Berry Islands are known for deep-sea fishing along the Tongue of the Ocean, private uninhabited anchorages, and the absence of the weekend traffic that characterizes Bimini. A 3 to 4-day luxury charter allows one crossing day each way and two days exploring the anchorages.
The Abacos, in the northern Bahamas, are a chain of cays and cruising grounds famed for protected sailing waters, the colorful settlement of Hope Town with its candy-striped lighthouse, and reef-lined anchorages at Green Turtle Cay and Man-O-War Cay. The Abacos suit an extended luxury charter for groups who want quieter waters and classic Bahamian island villages away from the busier southern route.
- Nassau3-4 DaysNassau, the capital of the Bahamas, sits on New Providence Island and is the base of most luxury charters. Nassau Harbour divides New Providence and Paradise Island and opens onto Cabbage Beach, the calm bays of Rose Island, and snorkeling at Athol Island.

- Crown Yachts Miami is a South Florida operator running crewed luxury charters that depart from deep-water marinas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

The captain handles the vessel's Bahamian cruising permit and coordinates customs clearance at the official port of entry. All passengers present their passports to Bahamian customs on arrival.
- How many days do I need for a luxury Bahamas yacht charter?
- It depends on the islands. A Bimini day trip or overnight is the shortest option. Nassau and the Berry Islands work best on a 3 to 4-day charter, which allows one crossing day each way and two full days at anchor. The Exumas require a minimum of 5 days and are best on a 7-day expedition. Multi-island itineraries covering Nassau, Harbour Island, and the Abacos typically span 10 to 14 days.
- What size yacht do I need for a Bahamas charter?

- November through April is the most popular season for a luxury yacht charter in the Bahamas.
