About Our Locations

Navigare Yachting is proud to expand its presence in the Bahamas. Our newest base in Nassau at Palm Cay Marina serves as the perfect gateway to the Exumas. Meanwhile, we remain deeply committed to the Abacos. Following the reconstruction efforts after Hurricane Dorian in 2019, Navigare is honored to continue supporting the region's recovery efforts through our base at the Conch Inn Hotel and Marina in Marsh Harbour, which opened in 2021.

Both locations are conveniently accessible: our Nassau base is a short drive from Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS), while our Abacos base remains just 10 minutes from the Leonard Thompson Airport (MHH).

When to Go

Cruisers and charterers in the Bahamas will enjoy a steadily warm climate with sustained trade winds; similar to southern Florida, generally sunny with slightly colder temperatures from December through February. A Bahamas catamaran charter is ideal year-round, with prime sailing conditions during the winter and spring seasons. 

Local Considerations

The official currency for the Bahamas is the Bahamian Dollar, which, like the US dollar, is denoted with a dollar sign. The denotation B$ is used to distinguish it from other Dollar currencies. The U.S. dollar is on par with the Bahamian dollar and is accepted all over the Bahamas, so there is no need to change to Bahamian if you are able to pay in USD. 

Fleet Size/Boat Offered

The Navigare fleet in the Bahamas consists of 15+ sailing catamarans, making it easy to plan the perfect catamaran charter in the Bahamas:
