With the spring yacht-charter season heating up in the Bahamas, several top companies are promoting yachts that are looking to secure more bookings into the summer months.

First up is the 180-foot Amels Amigos, a 2017 build that is part of the Edmiston charter fleet. The owner will consider short-term charters with a minimum of four days, including during July and August.

Amigos is a Tim Heywood design that accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, including a full-beam master with a private terrace. The VIP is on the main deck forward with a foldout balcony. Interiors are by Laura Sessa. Up on the sundeck, there’s a countercurrent pool along with alfresco dining shaded by the superstructure. There’s also an outdoor cinema. Down at water level, the beach club has a steam room.

Also headed to the Bahamas with availability this spring is Eros, a 121-foot Ferretti that’s part of the Fraser charter fleet. This yacht is a 2019 build that most recently was refitted in 2022. The owner is offering a reduced weekly base rate of $130,000 to encourage bookings.

Accommodations aboard Eros are for 10 to 12 guests in five staterooms. There also are quarters for seven crew. Also notable is that Starlink is included with each charter, so guests can have online access virtually all the time.

Fraser says another yacht in its charter fleet, the 142-foot Christensen Grade I, is also offering a reduced weekly base rate of $130,000 in the Bahamas.

Grade I is a 1995 build that most recently was refitted in 2018. The yacht accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, and has modern features such as at-anchor stabilizers for guest comfort on board.

Yet another option in the Bahamas is the 144-foot Burger Crossed Sabre, which recently joined the fleet at CharterWorld.

Crossed Sabre has a seven-stateroom layout, including a king-berth stateroom on the main deck, a queen-berth VIP on the bridge deck, and three queen-berth staterooms on the lower deck. The remaining lower-deck staterooms have twin or convertible berths. Notable features aboard Crossed Sabre include a folding balcony in the salon, a sundeck hot tub, and an elevator with wheelchair accessibility.

What else is happening in the Bahamas? The Potlatch Club boutique hotel is expected to open on Eleuthera in June. It’s a property that was popular with visitors in the 1960s and ’70s before it fell into disrepair in the 1980s. It has been restored with garden cottages, ocean-facing cottages and ocean-view villas, along with a restaurant, bar, spa and gym.
