Have you ever wondered how exclusive vacation seekers island-hop in style? With a destination like the Bahamas offering so many islands, it is hard to choose only one! Luckily, chartering a luxury sailing catamaran with Navigare Yachting allows you to see as many islands as you like, on your own schedule. Imagine blissfully sailing between picturesque islets, cruising past remote sandbars, exploring deserted beaches, and finally arriving at vibrant coastal towns.
Since our first ships set sail in 2001, guests from all over the world have discovered the wonders and unforgettable memories created on Caribbean island-hopping getaways. We strive to help you create unforgettable memories, and demonstrate how easy and affordable this can be for any traveler, regardless of previous boating experience or budget.
All of our 12 destinations are hand-picked for sailing adventures and perfectly suited for island-hopping, but this week we’ll focus on the award-winning Bahamas. Departing from Marsh Harbour, you will set sail on a uniquely attractive sailing tour of the Caribbean. Prepare to surrender to this renowned boating paradise and vibrant island group located about 110 miles off the south coast of Florida.
As a testament to the hard work and dedication of our Bahamas base staff and crew members, our Bahamas base received the TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Award in 2023. Navigare Yachting has a 5-star rating from over 120 satisfied customers in the Bahamas, and look forward to being awarded again in 2024.
You may wonder why island-hopping is the right way to go when traveling in the Bahamas, versus staying at a traditional hotel resort. Simply put, the Bahamas consists of nearly 700 islands, of which about 30 are inhabited. You can’t see much of that from your hotel pool!
Different islands offer different things to see and do, from beautiful beaches and historical sites to unique restaurants and natural wonders. Don’t forget that the Bahamas offers plenty of sandbars, known for deserted magical beaches in the middle of the water, and countless excellent snorkeling and dive sites teeming with rich marine life. Without a boat, these extraordinary must-see places would be completely inaccessible.
On an island-hopping adventure in the Bahamas, you get to see the very best that this beautiful archipelago has to offer. Take a trip back in history to the fascinating Elbow Reef Lighthouse, go for a stroll in Hope Town with its colorful houses, explore the boat-building heritage of Man-O-War Cay, enjoy a sunset dinner at a seaside restaurant in Marsh Harbour, hike in Abaco National Park, relax on the beach in Treasure Cay and so much more. It’s all within reach when you plan an island-hopping adventure with Navigare Yachting in the Bahamas.
What is the best way to plan an island-hopping getaway in a boating paradise like the Bahamas? While there are commercial ferries to and from some of the bigger more populated islands and harbors, you’d miss out on some incredible destinations traveling this way. Not only would your itinerary be restricted in terms of where you can go, but also when. Rushing to stick to ferry schedules that may not fit your itinerary, can add unnecessary stress to your vacation.
Chartering a sailing catamaran with Navigare is an award-winning experience allowing you the ultimate freedom of choice for your itinerary. A private yacht for only you and your group that departs on your schedule and takes you anywhere you want to go makes for the ideal stress-free cruise and creates memories of a lifetime. Create your itinerary with the assistance of our experts and explore sandbars, snorkeling spots, majestic harbors, coastal villages, deserted beaches, and distant coves under the guidance of our local skippers.
You don’t need a skipper’s license or prior experience sailing boats. Our highly-reviewed professional skippers will take care of navigation and serve as your exclusive guide, while you’re encouraged to enjoy the pure sailing experience.
Private yacht chartering offers a more flexible way of enjoying island-hopping compared to traditional travel modes, and it’s also a very luxurious and exclusive experience. Imagine traveling in a luxury hotel suite on the water with unbeatable ocean views that keep changing, a modern kitchen, a spacious luxury salon, several outdoor seating areas, and the world’s largest warm-water pool all around you. It’s the perfect way to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, so just imagine yourself reclined on the fly deck with a tropical drink in hand, enjoying the views and intimate company of your friends and family.

As luxurious and exclusive as it may sound, island-hopping by catamaran charter is surprisingly affordable.
