Bahamas one of the most popular destinations for super yachts in the world.

Its proximity to southern Florida and its first class marine facilities make the islands of the Bahamas one of the most popular destinations for super yachts in the world.

Originally populated by the Arawak Indians and then discovered by Christopher Columbus, the Bahamas were claimed by the British in 1629. Those on a luxury yacht charter in the Bahamas will see plenty of evidence of the links with Britain, despite the islands becoming an independent state in 1973.

You will be spoilt for choice for water sports activities during a trip to the islands. Here you can find some of the world’s best dive sites as well as excellent fishing and miles upon miles of sandy beaches.

Feed the Bahamian iguanas at Horseshoe Bay or snorkel through the marine life or meet the swimming pigs of Staniel Cay.

The options for activities ashore during a yacht charter in the Bahamas are endless. For those who enjoy golf, the islands boast more than their fair share of excellent golf courses as well as many excellent restaurants and bars.

Having listened to the advice of their most experienced captains and yacht charter crews, and taken on board the suggestions of many of their clients, YPI Group has put together a Bahamas yacht charter itinerary that takes in the highlights of this region.
