When planning a 7-day yacht charter to the Bahamas, yacht size, age, and amenities play a significant role in pricing and experience. Yachts typically start at around $20,000 per week plus expenses for a 44-foot late-model power catamaran. These yachts are ideal for smaller groups or families, offering modern amenities, comfortable cabins, and an efficient design perfect for the shallow waters of the Bahamas. 

As you move up in size and budget, mid-range yachts costing $30,000 to $50,000 per week plus expenses typically range from 55 to 70 feet. They offer larger living spaces, more cabins, and enhanced features like gourmet kitchens, shaded outdoor dining, and upgraded entertainment systems. Newer yachts in this category often include luxurious, modern designs.

For ultimate luxury, yachts over 80 feet can cost $50,000 or more per week plus expenses. These provide expansive decks, premium amenities like jacuzzis and water toys, and a highly trained crew that includes a private chef and stewards. These larger yachts focus as much on delivering a luxurious onboard experience as on the destination.

The term "plus expenses" refers to costs beyond the base charter fee, including fuel, food and beverages, docking fees, and crew gratuities, typically adding 30 to 35 percent to the base price. Whether you’re seeking an affordable adventure or a high-end escape, there’s a yacht to suit your budget and deliver an unforgettable experience in the Bahamas.
