Top 5 Bahamas Yacht Charters for 10 to 12 Guests

For a group of 12 looking for a genuine superyacht experience, PROVOCATEUR is our top choice.

The 50m Mondomarine motor yacht accommodates 12 guests in 6 ensuite cabins, including a main-deck master cabin, double cabins and convertible twin cabins. Originally built in 2016, she underwent an extensive interior and exterior refit in 2023/2024, giving her the feel of a much newer yacht. With a crew capacity of 11, PROVOCATEUR also provides the level of service expected when chartering with a full group.

Her size becomes especially valuable when 12 people are sharing the yacht for a week. Guests have access to a bow swimming pool, enhanced beach club, sauna, gym equipment, massage table and yoga equipment, creating plenty of separate spaces for relaxation. The water-toy collection adds two Sea-Doo Jet Skis, two Seabobs, paddleboards, kayaks and an E-Foil, while a 42-foot Pirelli chase boat supports excursions away from the main yacht.
PROVOCATEUR operates in the Bahamas and is listed from approximately €300,000 per week, putting her firmly at the top end of this selection. For 12 guests wanting maximum space, amenities and superyacht-level service, she is the standout choice.

YCM FIFTY is another excellent option for a full group of 12, particularly when equal-quality adult accommodation is a priority.

This 50.29m Oceanfast superyacht sleeps 12 guests in 6 ensuite cabins, configured as three king cabins and three queen cabins. That makes her unusually convenient for groups made up primarily of couples, since there is no need for several guests to accept smaller twin cabins. She was extensively refitted in 2024 and carries a professional crew of up to nine.

The yacht combines her large accommodation capacity with amenities designed for group entertainment. There is a Jacuzzi, while her water-toy collection includes a slide, snorkeling gear, four paddleboards, water skis, fishing equipment and Seabobs. Her relatively shallow 1.55m draft is also noteworthy for a yacht measuring more than 50m, particularly when cruising in Bahamian waters.

YCM FIFTY operates in the Bahamas during the winter season and is listed from approximately €150,000 per week. For six couples or a large adult group wanting the space of a 165-foot superyacht, her six king and queen cabins make her especially compelling.

ATLANTIA is perhaps the most practical yacht on this list for guests who specifically need accommodation for 12 without moving into 50m superyacht pricing.

The 20.43m Lagoon 630 MY power catamaran was built in 2020 and has an impressive 6 guest cabins, allowing her to accommodate 12 guests overnight. Her 10.06m beam gives her enormous width for her length, while a shallow draft of just 1.31m makes her particularly well suited to the Bahamas.

That wide catamaran platform also translates into useful living space for a large group. ATLANTIA offers spacious teak decks, lounge areas on both the bow and stern, a large salon with retractable television and convertible dining tables, plus a substantial galley designed to cater for a full complement of guests. She is based in the Bahamas rather than repositioning there seasonally, making her a particularly natural fit for local cruising.

Rates start from approximately $42,000 per week, making ATLANTIA an especially interesting option for groups that need six cabins and 12-person overnight capacity but do not require the facilities or price point of a large superyacht.

For a group of 10 guests, MOTEK offers one of the strongest combinations of cabin capacity, shallow draft and value.

The 17.07m Bali catamaran was built in 2023 and accommodates 10 guests in 5 ensuite queen cabins, including a master cabin and four additional queen cabins. Her 8.84m beam provides the generous living areas expected from a modern Bali catamaran, while her exceptionally shallow 1.22m draft is a major advantage when exploring the Bahamas.

MOTEK is particularly suitable for relaxed group charters where guests want to spend most of the week swimming, snorkeling and moving slowly between cays. Her equipment includes snorkeling gear, floating mats, beach games, fishing equipment, an underwater camera and video setup, sea scooters and a swim platform.

She operates in the Bahamas during the summer season and is offered from approximately $26,000 to $32,000 per week. For five couples or a 10-person family and friends group, MOTEK represents excellent value compared with the larger yachts in this ranking.

LUPO 2 is a good choice for groups of 10 who prefer the speed and styling of a traditional motor yacht.

The 21.34m Azimut Flybridge accommodates up to 10 overnight guests in 4 cabins, while as many as 13 guests can be accommodated for day cruising. Her layout includes a convertible pull-out bed, and a twin cabin can be transformed into an additional king, providing useful flexibility depending on the makeup of the group.

Unlike the slower catamarans in this selection, LUPO 2 cruises at approximately 20 knots and can reach around 27 knots. That speed can be valuable when a group wants to cover more ground during a shorter Bahamas itinerary. She also carries a Sea-Doo RXT-X 300 Jet Ski, floating mat and inflatables, while a swim platform provides easy access to the water.
LUPO 2 operates in the Bahamas and is listed from approximately $35,275 per week. She does not offer the six-cabin capacity of ATLANTIA, PROVOCATEUR or YCM FIFTY, but for exactly 10 guests wanting a faster motor yacht experience, she remains a strong option.
