Catamaran or motor yacht: which should I charter in the Bahamas?
Choose a catamaran for space, stability and value; choose a motor yacht for speed, range and service. In the Bahamas the shallow draft of a catamaran is a genuine advantage.
Catamarans sit flat, draw little water, and give you far more deck and cabin space per dollar. They get into the thin water of the Exumas where a deep-draft yacht cannot follow. Motor yachts move at 20 knots rather than 8, which matters if you want Nassau and the Abacos in one week, and they carry more crew, so the service is more attentive. A sailing monohull is the choice if you actually want to sail. Most Bahamas charters end up on catamarans for good reason.
