When is the best time to charter a yacht in the Bahamas?
December to May is the Bahamas charter season, with the most settled weather between January and April. Hurricane season runs June to November.
Winter brings dry air, light to moderate easterlies and water in the mid-70s Fahrenheit. December through March is peak, and the Christmas and New Year weeks are booked a year out at premium rates. April and May are the sweet spot: warm water, fewer boats, softer rates. Summer is hot, humid and carries hurricane risk, and some yachts leave the region entirely. Charter contracts contain standard provisions for named storms.
