BAHAMAS
Bahamas
yacht charters are well known
and well regarded worldwide, as the Islands offer exquisite beaches, beautiful
warm shallow waters as well as warm locals. The Bahamas are made up
of more than 700 islands and countless (over 2400) cays to explore and is
encompassed by one of the world's great barrier reefs.
This vast reef
system surrounds the reef-and-key sheltered waters, providing 100 miles of
relaxed cruising in the relatively shallow safety of The Sea of Abaco. The
Bahamian island chain begins with Bimini, just 45 miles from Miami, stretching
all the way to the Turks, 500 miles to the southwest. The Bahamas is a
brilliant charter location that has either excitement or serenity, depending on
your mood, and is also within easy access for both American and European yacht
charter vacations.
Presently
the Bahamas are very popular amongst crewed luxury superyachts, whether
the boats are for charter or they are private owners' use.
However,
back in history, this is where Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492 and has in
earlier days been an area sailed by swashbuckling pirates and privateers
looking for places to bury their plunder in the many secluded anchorages. In
many places little has changed since these early days and the Bahamas still
features exceptional sailing on the warm Gulf Stream, turquoise waters and
moderate winds.
