Rent a Palmer Johnson Yacht in The Bahamas — 5-Day Crewed Charter

Rent a Palmer Johnson Yacht in The Bahamas — 5-Day Crewed Charter

⚓ Six crewed superyachts, one guest list — yours, on a five-day run from Nassau through the Bahamian cays, with a jacuzzi on deck and the sea all to yourselves.

↓ pick your yacht, pick your islands — the crew is already waiting in Nassau

This is not a cruise. A privately crewed Palmer Johnson charter in The Bahamas hands your group the entire vessel — the captain, the chef, a jacuzzi on the sundeck and a tender ready to drop you onto sandbars that have no name on any map. Five days, one guest list, nobody else aboard. ⚓✨

🗺️ Your Five Days Across The Bahamas

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

Board in Nassau, where the crew has the lines ready and the first cold drink waiting. From there your captain reads the wind and the swell, then builds five days around what your group actually wants — a slow morning at anchor off a private cay, a run to the Exumas, a beach club lunch with your feet in the sand. There is room for two or three unhurried stops a day and no schedule but yours. 🌊

Show details

Day 1 — Nassau & the first anchorage. A welcome drink on the aft deck, then a short run out of the harbour to a calm anchorage for the first swim. The waterslide comes out, the jacuzzi warms up, and the first evening belongs to your group alone.
Day 2 — Island-hopping toward the Exumas. A morning cruise through turquoise shallows to a sandbar that appears only at low tide. Lunch is served at anchor, then jet skis, Seabobs and paddle boards until the light softens.
Day 3 — A private cay and a beach club afternoon. Your captain picks a quiet stretch of sand, the tender ferries everyone ashore, and the crew sets up the beach club while you do absolutely nothing.
Day 4 — Deep water, fishing and a long lunch. The fishing gear comes out on the run between islands, the chef works the galley, and the afternoon is a slow drift in water so clear the anchor is visible on the bottom.
Day 5 — A last swim and the return to Nassau. One final anchorage, one final lunch on deck, then the cruise back with the sun behind you and the whole week already being retold.
💡 Insider tip: ask your captain to reach the Exuma sandbars on a weekday — by the weekend the prime anchoring spots fill up, and the good ones do not open again until Monday.

Private superyacht anchored in a turquoise cove in The Bahamas

These multi-day charters suit couples, families and small groups who want a real week afloat rather than a schedule. Every yacht comes fully crewed, so navigation, anchoring, cooking and service are somebody else’s job — yours is the swimming, the islands and the sunset.

Flagship Space

150 Palmer Johnson II

150 Palmer Johnson II superyacht available for charter in The Bahamas

  • 🛁 Jacuzzi on deck plus a water slide straight into the shallows
  • 🚤 Jet ski, Seabob, wakeboard and full snorkelling kit aboard
  • 🏋️ Onboard gym, beach club setup and scuba diving equipment
  • 🍖 BBQ grill, satellite TV, AC and WiFi throughout
  • 👨‍✈️ Private crew included
At 150 feet with five cabins for ten overnight guests and a crew of eight, this is the largest hull in the group and still takes 13 for a day afloat. The jacuzzi, the gym and the beach club turn five days at sea into something closer to a private resort that moves.

🌊 Did you know?

There is a beach in the Exumas where the sand is so fine and so pink it looks photoshopped — and it exists because tiny coral creatures have been breaking down there for centuries. Your crew knows exactly which tide puts you on it alone.

🌴 Feeling the Vibe?

Nassau was once a pirate republic — real pirates, real governors, real chaos. Two centuries later the same harbour is where your yacht is waiting. Some traditions are worth keeping.

🤫 A Secret for You…

Palmer Johnson built fighter planes before it built yachts — and it shows. The same yard that welded wartime hulls went on to cut aluminium sport yachts so sharp the Italians copied the look.

🛥️ The Best Part?

Nuvolari Lenard drew the interiors on most of these hulls — the same studio behind some of the most photographed yachts on earth. You are not renting a boat. You are renting a signature.

Learn More About Yacht Rental in The Bahamas

What is included in a five-day private yacht charter in The Bahamas?

Most charters include the yacht, a professional captain and full crew, fuel for the standard route, life jackets, passenger insurance, soft drinks and water. Waterslides, jet skis, Seabobs, snorkelling gear, jacuzzis and sunpads come with the boats listed here; catering, extra water toys and transport can be arranged on top. Check each yacht’s live page for exact inclusions.

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

No — every yacht here is fully crewed, with teams ranging from five to eleven. The captain and crew handle navigation, anchoring, docking and safety for the whole charter, so your group only has to decide which island comes next.

How many guests can a 94–171ft yacht take on a Bahamas charter?

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

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

From Nassau a five-day route comfortably covers the Exumas and their sandbars, a private cay or two, and a beach club afternoon, with time left for fishing and long lunches at anchor. Your captain builds the itinerary around the wind, the tide and what your group actually wants.

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

For winter weeks, holidays and event periods, three to four months ahead is sensible; the most requested Palmer Johnson and Riva hulls are often gone earlier. Shoulder-season dates open up much closer in.

Is the yacht private for just our group?

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