Bahamas Yacht Charters Imagining Taking Your Own Boat To The Bahamas

Friday, 14 August 2009

When you decide on Bahamas Yacht Charters you have over 500 miles of tropical waters to explore. The Bahamas is an archipelago that contains over 700 islands
so unless you have loads of cash you won’t get to see them all in one charter vacation. Choose from crewed yacht charters or a bareboat charter
but whichever one you choose
you can decide where you want to go. Bahamas Yacht Charters can help you plan your vacation so that it fulfills your every need.

The difference in crewed yacht charters and bareboat charters is in the amenities that the yacht offers. You don’t have to know how to sail the yacht if you want the cheaper bareboat
but you do have to supply your own food and supplies. In addition
you have to bring along your own lounge chairs and watersports equipment or choose to rent them from Bahamas Yacht Charters. With crewed yacht charters
you don’t have to do any work aboard the yacht and everything is supplied for you. If you have lots of money to spend
you can choose one of the luxury yacht charters. Bahamas lends itself to dreaming of luxury
so for that once in a lifetime vacation
why not splurge?

As a rule
Bahamas Yacht Charters begin with a chart briefing at 9 A.M. Then you can sail at 10 and you have to have the yacht back by 10 at the end of the charter period. If you would prefer to have an afternoon sailing time
you have to request this when you book your yacht charters. The Bahamas is suitable for any time sailing and with the short distance from Florida to the Bahamas
it doesn’t make any difference what time you leave. You do have to be careful of the weather if you book the yacht charter during hurricane season.

You can also begin and end the charter in the Bahamas. Fly into Abaco and take the yacht from there. For yacht charters
Bahamas tax rates are 4% of the total cost of the charter and you have to pay a daily insurance rate for the yacht. This depends on the size of yacht you charter. For example
the premium for yachts 41 feet and under is $33 per day and for those over 41 feet
the premium is $38 per day. The deductible with the yacht charter insurance is $400
which you must pay yourself if you cause any damage. Bahamas Yacht Charters supplies you with a full tank of fuel when you have a bareboat charter
but you must return the yacht with the tank full.

Sailing yachts from Bahamas Yacht Charters are much more expensive. A typical yacht charter will cost about $13
0
which does not include meals
docking
drinks and fees. During the summer
the yacht charters are based in Fort Lauderdale
Florida and during the winter they are based in the Bahamas. If a group of people decide to get together and book a charter from Bahamas Yacht Charters
they can split the cost between them
which will significantly reduce the price per couple.
