Explore the Bahamas this winter
Although parts of the Northwestern Bahamas, particularly the Abacos Islands and Great Bahama, were badly hit, over 90% of the Bahamas remain pristine and open for business. The Bahamas relies heavily on tourism for economic stability and making sure that yacht charter tourism continues is crucial.
Let IYC tempt you into a Bahamas yacht charter this winter, by showcasing some of the top reasons why this destination is so exceptional. Spread across 700 miles, and home to more than a quarter of the world’s natural reefs, the Bahamas are an incredible yachting destination.
Expect to receive a warm welcome wherever you go in the Bahamas. The Bahamian people will greet you with a smile, and entice you to visit all the best spots and sample the best and most vibrant local flavours. From bustling ports, like Nassau, to tiny islands with only a few inhabitants, there is plenty to see and do, and there are often festivals and music events around the islands.
Stunning Scenery
The Bahamas offers picture-perfect surroundings that look like they are straight off a postcard. Over 700 islands and nearly 3000 coral cays mean there is endless variety, and often your yacht will be the only one in sight. Take a stroll on a deserted white sand beach, and pick a shell for a special souvenir, or simply soak in the views of endless blue skies and tropical beauty.
