29 Jan - 2 Feb 2025
An iconic addition to the annual yachting calendar, the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show hosts an extravagant exhibition of the most desirable luxury charter yachts operating in the Caribbean.
Launching onto the scene in 2023, the Bahamas Yacht Charter Show is a trade-only event that aims to educate and inform the yachting industry of the many benefits of Bahamas yacht charters, and of course, provide exclusive opportunities to explore the season's hottest luxury charter yachts operating in the region.
Organized by IYBA (International Yacht Brokers Association) in collaboration with the Association of Bahamas Marinas, the four-day event welcomes industry professionals, Captains, crew, and brokers to an exhibition that displays over 80 motor yacht charters.
Seamlessly connected with complimentary water and ground transportation, the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show spans several different Nassau and Paradise Island marinas, which are;
- Atlantis
- Bay Street Marina
- Nassau Cruise Port
- Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina
Throughout the show, brokers attending the event will be able to board the attending superyacht charters and engage in fully immersive tours with Captains and crew associated with each relative Caribbean charter yacht.
Acting on their own or on behalf of clients, visitors to the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show can experience premium dining, entertainment, and cultural influences of New Providence, and the Bahamas as a whole, building a solid understanding of the region and relating back all the best attractions to see and do in the Bahamas.
With several marinas participating in the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show, attending industry professionals can expect to see a broad range of motor and catamaran yacht charters. Starting with 56 yacht rentals in the first edition, the Bahamian event has rapidly grown traction as a staple yachting event within the Caribbean, welcoming superyachts from some of the biggest shipyards in the industry.
Featuring names like Heesen, Sunseeker, and Christensen, the pontoons offer ample opportunities for brokers to explore the attending yacht charters, gaining first-hand experience of what each superyacht can provide for prospective charter guests.
Already playing host to some staggering yacht rentals, 197.4ft (60.15m) super yacht charter IRON BLONDE took the place of largest yacht in show during the 2024 edition of the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show, plus other well-known fleet yachts including 191ft (58.22m) luxury yacht charter UNBRIDLED, and 163.5ft (49.8m) superyacht rental HOME.
Challenging visiting crews to prove their bragging rights of being the best on the Bahamas and Exumas yacht charter market, the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show hosts two competitions that allow crew members to use their creative flairs to present exceptional tablescapes and unique cocktails.
Using items already onboard and specified sets of ingredients, the Best Tablescape and Best Cocktail competitions bring out the competitive side of the crews, before their dedicated day of training seminars and watersports taster sessions on the final day of the show.
Popular throughout the winter season thanks to its proximity to Florida and Central America, Bahamas yacht charters effortlessly provide a gateway to paradise with abundant palms, boundless amounts of space for iconic watersports sessions, and, of course, plenty of soft sandy beaches.
Boasting an impressive amount of attractions around the beautiful archipelagos like the Abacos Islands, charter guests visiting the Bahamian region can find coveted stopovers like Allen's Cay, captivating dive sites including the stunning Andros Barrier Reef, and hubs of activity such as Elbow Cay. However you want to enjoy the Caribbean, the Bahamas can deliver.
