Top 5 Bahamas Yacht Charters Under $50,000 per Week

PRINCESS MILA is our top choice for guests who want as much luxury as possible while keeping the base charter rate below $50,000.

Built by Fountaine Pajot in 2022, this 20.42m power catamaran accommodates 8 guests in 4 cabins, including a king master cabin and additional queen cabins. Her huge 9.85m beam creates exceptional living space, while a shallow 1.58m draft is particularly well suited to cruising through the Bahamas. She is based in Nassau and operates year-round in the Bahamas.

The standout feature at this price point is the deck Jacuzzi, complemented by a flybridge, sun deck, sunbathing areas and sun pads. PRINCESS MILA also carries an electric foil cruiser, three sea scooters, two paddleboards, a tandem kayak, wakeboard and fishing equipment, giving guests plenty to do once the yacht reaches an anchorage.
With rates from approximately $45,000 to $49,000 per week, PRINCESS MILA sits close to the top of the budget but delivers amenities more commonly associated with considerably more expensive yachts.

For larger groups, ATLANTIA offers exceptional value because very few yachts in this price bracket can accommodate a full 12 overnight guests.

The 20.43m Lagoon 630 MY power catamaran features 6 guest cabins and an extraordinary 10.06m beam, creating enormous living space relative to her length. Her 1.31m draft is also ideal for shallow Bahamian waters, while a 2020 build date gives her a relatively modern platform.

ATLANTIA has been designed around entertaining larger groups. Spacious teak decks provide lounging areas at the bow and stern, while the interior includes a large salon with retractable television and flexible lounge and dining areas. Her substantial galley, outdoor refrigerators, sinks and ice maker are particularly useful when catering for a full complement of guests.

With published rates starting from approximately $42,000 per week, ATLANTIA is particularly compelling for families or groups who need multiple cabins. For 10 to 12 guests, the cost per person can make her one of the strongest-value crewed yacht options in the Bahamas.

LADY LEX is the yacht to choose if you want a traditional motor yacht and maximum length for a sub-$50,000 starting budget.

At 30.5m, or just over 100 feet, she is considerably longer than the catamarans on this list. The Broward motor yacht accommodates 8 guests in 4 ensuite cabins, including a full-beam primary suite, VIP cabin, queen cabin and twin cabin. She cruises at approximately 16 knots and operates in the Bahamas during the winter season.

LADY LEX also benefits from an underway stabilization system designed to reduce rolling while cruising. Her water equipment includes a WaveRunner, kayak, kneeboard, towable tubes and snorkeling gear, while a 16-foot tender supports shore trips and excursions.

Weekly rates range from approximately $40,000 to $44,000, making LADY LEX an unusual opportunity to charter a 100-foot crewed motor yacht in the Bahamas while keeping the base weekly rate below $50,000.

NAUTI DOGS 5.4 offers an excellent middle ground between price, space and guest capacity.

Built by Bali Catamarans in 2022, the 16.46m sailing catamaran sleeps 8 guests in 4 queen cabins, all with ensuite bathrooms. Her 8.84m beam provides the wide communal spaces that make modern catamarans so attractive for Bahamas charters, while a 1.48m draft gives the captain plenty of flexibility around shallow anchorages and cays. She is based in Nassau and operates throughout the Bahamas.

Her toy selection is also impressive for the price. Guests have access to paddleboards, floating mats, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment, a kneeboard, wakeboard, underwater scooters, Subwing and towable tubes. Wi-Fi, a flybridge and onboard entertainment add extra comfort between swimming stops.

With charter rates from approximately $31,000 to $34,000 per week, NAUTI DOGS 5.4 is particularly attractive for groups of six to eight who want a modern crewed catamaran without approaching the $50,000 ceiling.

At the most affordable end of this selection, KITTIWAKE demonstrates how accessible a fully crewed Bahamas catamaran charter can be.

The 14.63m Bali catamaran accommodates 6 guests in 3 ensuite cabins, including a master cabin occupying the entire port hull. She has a large open-plan forward cockpit, multiple outdoor living areas and a flybridge with panoramic views, creating plenty of usable space for a smaller family or group of friends. KITTIWAKE is based in Nassau and operates in the Bahamas throughout the year.

Despite having the lowest rate of the five yachts, her toy collection remains substantial. Guests can use two paddleboards, a two-person kayak, wakeboard, towable tubes, snorkeling equipment, floating mats and fishing gear, while Wi-Fi, Netflix and onboard entertainment provide options for quieter evenings.

Rates start from approximately $22,500 to $25,500 per week, making KITTIWAKE our value pick for smaller groups who want the full experience of a private crewed Bahamas yacht charter at a substantially lower base rate.
