Miami Yacht Charters to the Islands of the Bahamas
A private boat charter from Miami to the Bahamas gives your group complete freedom on the water. No ferry schedules, no shared decks, no commercial airport lines. You board at Miami Beach Marina or Sea Isles Marina, and your USCG-licensed captain navigates the Gulf Stream crossing while your crew handles everything onboard.
Bimini is the most popular Bahamas destination from Miami — a 2 to 3-hour crossing on a mid-size motor yacht at cruising speed. Nassau requires an overnight passage or a full-day run on a faster vessel. For guests wanting multiple islands, a 5 to 7-day itinerary covers Bimini, Nassau, and the northern Exuma Cays.
For overnight yacht rentals from Miami, our term charter fleet includes fully cabined motor yachts from 62 to over 100 feet — sleeping quarters for 4 to 12 guests, a full galley kitchen, and dedicated crew. Most overnight guests depart Miami in the late afternoon and wake up anchored off Bimini or Nassau by morning.
Since 2000, our captains have navigated the Gulf Stream crossing hundreds of times. They know the seasonal current patterns, the best departure windows, and exactly how to plan a smooth, comfortable passage for every group.

Best Time for a Miami to Bahamas Yacht Charter
November through April offers the most reliable Gulf Stream conditions. Winter crossings are calmer, with lower wind speeds and smaller swells that make the 50-mile passage to Bimini comfortable even for first-time offshore guests.
Summer crossings are possible but require more schedule flexibility. Afternoon squalls are common June through September — our captains plan early morning departures, typically leaving Miami Beach Marina between 6 and 7 AM, to cross before afternoon weather builds.
For overnight yacht rentals to Nassau or multi-day Bahamas itineraries, book 4 to 8 weeks ahead during winter. December through March availability fills quickly for larger vessels and multi-island routes.
