Nassau Yacht Charter Pricing — What to Expect
A Nassau Bahamas yacht charter from Miami is priced as a term charter — a multi-day, all-inclusive package rather than a standard day rate. Pricing depends on the vessel size, number of days, group size, and provisioning requirements. As a general framework:
| Charter Type | Duration | Vessel Size | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nassau Express | 3 days / 2 nights | 60–80 ft | Crossing both ways, 2 nights Nassau, captain, crew, fuel |

| Grand Bahamas Voyage | 7+ days | 80–220 ft | Multi-island route, complete provisioning, all-inclusive |
All Nassau yacht charter prices at Miami Boat Charters include the vessel, USCG-licensed captain, professional crew, fuel for the crossing and local Bahamas cruising, and Bahamas cruising permit coordination.

Best Time for a Nassau Yacht Charter from Miami
November through April is the ideal season for a Nassau Bahamas yacht charter from Miami. During these months, the Gulf Stream crossing is calmer, trade winds are lighter and more predictable, and the Bahamian waters offer exceptional visibility for snorkeling and diving. Temperatures at Nassau hover between 72°F and 82°F — perfect for outdoor activities at Atlantis and island exploration across the Exumas.
Summer months (June through September) are possible but require more flexibility. Afternoon tropical squalls are common and passage timing needs to adapt to weather windows. Hurricane season officially runs June through November — the majority of charters during this period depart in the early summer before peak activity. Our captains monitor conditions closely and will advise on the best weather window for departure regardless of the time of year.
Customs and entry requirements: All guests must carry a valid US passport — passport cards are not accepted for Bahamas entry. Our crew handles the vessel-side documentation and coordinates the Bahamas Immigration and Customs clearance on arrival in Nassau. Most private yacht arrivals clear customs at Nassau’s Brown’s Boat Basin or Atlantis Marina within 30 to 60 minutes.
