Andros yacht charter
The largest island in the Bahamas and one of its least developed: a vast barrier reef, the deep Tongue of the Ocean, blue holes and some of the best bonefishing in the world.

Andros lies west of Nassau across the Tongue of the Ocean, a deep ocean trench, about 30–40 nautical miles from New Providence. Its east coast is fringed by the Andros Barrier Reef, often described as the third-largest barrier reef in the world, and the island is famous for blue holes and bonefishing. Anchorages are fewer and more exposed than in the Exumas, so Andros is best as two or three days within a Nassau or Berry Islands charter. Crewed catamarans start around $20,000 a week.
Reef walls, blue holes and bonefish flats
Andros is the largest island in the Bahamas, yet home to only a few thousand people. Along its east coast, the barrier reef drops into the Tongue of the Ocean, creating dramatic wall dives. Inland and offshore, blue holes plunge deep into the limestone. To the west, endless flats have made Andros a byword for bonefishing.
It is the right choice for guests who want nature over nightlife: experienced divers, keen anglers and families who like exploring.

How we plan an Andros charter
Andros’s east coast faces the open Tongue of the Ocean, and protected anchorages are limited, so captains choose settled weather for the crossing and stay flexible. We usually suggest Andros as part of a longer charter: Nassau, two or three days on the Andros reef, then on to the Berry Islands or back to Nassau.
Diving is arranged with the yacht’s crew if it is a dive-equipped yacht, or with a local dive operation. Bonefishing is best with an Andros guide, which we can organise alongside your charter.

Most yachts are based in Nassau, so a Nassau round trip avoids relocation fees. Specialist diving or fishing guides are booked separately.
Add Bahamas charter taxes (10% VAT plus a 4% charter fee, about 14% in total) and a crew gratuity of 15–20%. Our Bahamas charter cost guide walks through all-in examples.
Ranges are our own guide and vary with yacht, season and availability.
