Rent a Heesen Yacht in The Bahamas — 5-Day Private Charter

Rent a Heesen Yacht in The Bahamas — 5-Day Private Charter

⚓ Six crewed superyachts, one private guest list — wake up anchored off a different Bahamian cay every morning, with your own chef, your own captain and nobody else aboard.

↓ pick your yacht & your islands — the Exumas are waiting, the crew is ready

This is not a cruise. A privately crewed Heesen charter in The Bahamas hands your group the entire vessel — 105 to 180 feet of Dutch engineering, a captain who knows every cut between the cays, and a chef who plates dinner while the anchor holds over sand so white it hums. Five days, six days, a week: the itinerary belongs to you, and the guest list is the event. ⚓✨

🗺️ Five Days Across the Bahamian Cays

Route planning map for a private multi-day superyacht charter from Nassau through The Bahamas

Board in Nassau, where the harbour water is so clear you can count the starfish from the aft deck. Your captain reads the wind, the swell and your mood, then lays a course through the islands — a long lunch at anchor off a deserted sandbar, an afternoon drifting over a shallow reef, and evenings so quiet the only sound is the tender bumping the swim platform. With five to seven days ahead there is room for everything and a rush for nothing. 🌊

Show details

Day 1 — Nassau boarding & first anchorage. Step aboard mid-afternoon, champagne on the sundeck, and a short run out of the harbour to a calm anchorage for the first swim. Dinner is served under the stars while the crew settles the yacht for the night.
Days 2–4 — the Exumas run. Long, unhurried cruising days between the cays: snorkelling a shallow reef, kayaks and paddleboards off the transom, the jet ski and Seabob out after lunch, and a Jacuzzi soak as the light goes gold. Your chef works the galley; you work on your tan.
Days 5–7 — the slow return. A last sandbar morning, a beach club lunch, and a gentle cruise back toward Nassau — or onward, if you have booked the week. Nobody on board will be checking the time.
💡 Insider tip: ask your captain to time the Exuma run so you anchor before the afternoon breeze fills in — the shallow banks go glassy in the morning, and that is when the water looks like it was invented for your photographs.

Private superyacht anchored in a turquoise cove in The Bahamas

These multi-day charters suit couples, families and celebration groups who want a private island itinerary rather than a schedule. Every yacht here is fully crewed — five to eleven professionals handle navigation, anchoring, service and the galley, so your only job is deciding which cay to wake up beside.

🤫 A Secret for You…

Heesen builds in Oss, a Dutch town nowhere near the sea — hulls travel by canal to be finished. Almost every superyacht you have ever admired started life on a river barge. 🇳🇱

🌴 Feeling the Vibe?

Nassau’s harbour has been a pirate capital, a rum-running port and a duke’s winter address. Your tender ride out of it crosses four hundred years of very profitable bad behaviour. 🏴‍☠️

Fast & Timeless

  • ⚡ 25-knot cruise — she covers island ground nothing else here can
  • 🛁 Jacuzzi on deck for the evenings at anchor
  • 🏊 Jet ski and floats ready at the swim platform
  • 🛏️ Five cabins for ten guests, master suite plus four doubles
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
A 143-foot Heesen with a 26-foot beam and a 25-knot cruising speed — she reaches the far cays while slower yachts are still clearing the harbour. Five cabins for ten guests, a Jacuzzi on deck, and a crew of five who run the week like a private hotel.

🛥️ The Best Part?

Superyacht tenders are not dinghies — they are fast, upholstered and often worth more than a house. Your group steps off the mothership and into a private launch, every single time. 🚤

Balanced & Versatile

125 Heesen

125 Heesen superyacht with sundeck and gym for private Bahamas charter

  • ☀️ Sundeck with sunpads for the long, lazy island afternoons

  • 🎿 Waterslide, jet ski, Seabob, waterski and wakeboard aboard
  • 🏋️ Gym, Jacuzzi and five en-suite cabins for twelve guests
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
Five en-suite cabins sleep twelve guests, with a crew of seven, a gym, a sundeck and a Jacuzzi — a full resort squeezed into 125 feet. She cruises at 12 knots with 257 GT of volume, so the days between islands feel as good as the anchorages themselves.

⚓ One Last Thing…

Bahamian mooring is its own art — two anchors, bow and stern, so the yacht swings nowhere in a shifting tide. Watch your crew set it once and you will never worry about the night again. 🌙

Learn More About Yacht Rental in The Bahamas

What is included in a multi-day crewed yacht charter in The Bahamas?

Most charters include the yacht, a full professional crew, fuel for the agreed route, tenders and water toys, life jackets, passenger insurance, soft drinks and water. Chefs, catering, alcohol, scuba diving, private jet transfers and extra toys can be arranged on top. Check each yacht’s live page for exact inclusions before you confirm.

How many guests can a Heesen superyacht take on a Bahamas charter?

The yachts in this article are licensed for up to 13 day guests, with five to six cabins sleeping between ten and twelve overnight guests. Crew quarters are separate, so the entire guest deck stays yours for the whole charter.

Do we need sailing experience to charter a superyacht in The Bahamas?

No — every yacht here is fully crewed, with five to eleven professionals aboard. The captain and crew handle navigation, anchoring, tender operations and safety throughout the charter, so your group only has to decide where to swim next.

Which islands can we reach on a five-day charter from Nassau?

A five-day itinerary comfortably covers Nassau, the Exuma cays and their sandbars, a handful of shallow reef snorkelling spots and a beach club lunch or two. Seven days opens up the longer runs and more remote anchorages — your captain builds the route around the weather and your group’s pace.

How far ahead should we book a private yacht charter in The Bahamas in high season?

For winter and spring weeks, and around holidays and regattas, three to six months ahead is realistic for a Heesen-class yacht. The most requested hulls go first, so early enquiries get the best dates.

Is the yacht private for just our group?

Yes — when you charter through YATR the entire vessel is yours, with no other passengers aboard. The captain and crew work only for your group for the full duration of the charter.
