Private yacht crossing from Miami to the Bahamas
Multi-Day Yacht Charters

Yacht Charter Destinations

Cross from Miami to Bimini, Nassau or the Exumas on a fully crewed private yacht, or fly south to Cartagena, Colombia. Itinerary, provisioning and marina slips handled for you.

The idea

Escape Miami. Discover the Bahamas & Cartagena by Yacht.

A private yacht trip to the Bahamas is not transportation. The yacht becomes your base: you sleep aboard, eat aboard, and wake up wherever you decided to anchor the night before. Instead of one hotel and one beach, you get the islands, the reefs, the sandbars and the restaurants that sit between them.

That changes how a trip works. You can spend a morning snorkeling a wreck, a midday at a sandbar in waist-deep water, an afternoon ashore at a beach club and an evening at a restaurant in town, without checking in and out of anything. When the group wants somewhere quieter, you move.

Prime Experiences plans the whole thing: matching the yacht to your group, routing the itinerary, arranging marina slips and provisioning, and coordinating onshore reservations. You choose the destination and the pace.

Crossing and travel times are estimates only. Actual timing depends on the yacht, departure point, weather, sea conditions, route and the itinerary you choose. Your captain makes the final call on the day.

Fly In. Yacht Out.

You do not have to spend the crossing at sea. Depending on the destination, the yacht and the itinerary, guests can fly into the Bahamas and have the yacht experience begin there. It is a popular choice for travelers who would rather spend their days exploring islands than covering distance. Tell us your dates and we will confirm what is possible for your group.

Fly-in availability depends on the yacht, the destination and the itinerary. We confirm airports, timing and logistics with you before anything is booked.

Yacht charter destination questions

Which Bahamas destination is best for a yacht charter from Miami?

Bimini is the closest and suits short escapes focused on the water. Nassau combines yacht days with resorts, restaurants and nightlife. The Exumas are the most remote and adventurous, built around island hopping between hundreds of cays. The right choice depends mostly on how many days you have and whether you want nightlife or nature.

How long does it take to cross from Miami to the Bahamas by yacht?

There is no fixed answer. Crossing time depends on the yacht, your departure point, weather, sea conditions, the route and the itinerary. Your captain sets timing on the day based on conditions, and we give you a realistic estimate for your specific yacht when we plan the trip.

Can you fly into the Bahamas and meet the yacht there?

In many cases yes. Guests who would rather not spend the crossing at sea can fly in and begin the yacht experience in the Bahamas. Availability depends on the yacht, the destination and the itinerary, so we confirm the specifics before anything is booked.

Do you need a passport for a Bahamas yacht charter?

Yes. The Bahamas is an international destination, so every guest travels with a valid passport. Your captain handles the vessel's clearance process on arrival.

How many guests can join a Bahamas yacht trip?

Multi-day trips are limited by sleeping cabins rather than day capacity, so the number of guests depends on the yacht. We match the yacht to your group size when we plan the itinerary.

What is included in a Bahamas yacht charter?

The charter covers the yacht, licensed captain and crew, and a planned itinerary. Fuel for the crossing, marina slips, provisioning, customs fees where applicable and crew gratuity are quoted separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Add-on experiences such as chef service, water toys or onshore reservations are confirmed per trip.
