The 2027 Bahamas Charter Yacht Show is expected to deliver several days of structured yacht tours, onboard experiences, and professional networking, all centered on yachts actively operating throughout the Bahamian islands.

Brokers attending the show can expect guided walkthroughs led by captains and crew, offering insight into onboard service styles, guest layouts, and itinerary suitability. The show’s manageable scale allows time for detailed discussions, making it particularly valuable for brokers looking to build genuine familiarity with the fleet rather than rush between viewings.

Evenings typically transition into informal dockside gatherings and hosted events, providing a relaxed setting to connect with fellow professionals while enjoying the easygoing hospitality the Bahamas are known for.

Showcasing over 50 motor, sailing, and catamaran yacht charters across four premier marinas in Nassau and Paradise Island, the Bahamas Charter Yacht Show offers yacht brokers an unparalleled opportunity to explore top-tier amenities and watersports collections tailored for Bahamas and Exumas yacht charters.

Seamlessly connected by a network of ground and water transport, the marinas included in the event are:

• Atlantis
• Bay Street Marina
• Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina

Beyond the showcase of motor and sailing yacht charters in the marinas, attending crews are invited to showcase their creativity through three thrilling competitions.

The Chef Competition, introduced in 2025, allows superyacht chefs from attending Bahamas yacht charters to showcase their culinary prowess, emphasizing the significance of gastronomy in the luxury charter experience. Participants are tasked with creating unique dishes that not only demonstrate their technical skills but also highlight local Bahamian ingredients, reflecting a growing commitment to sustainability within the industry. 

The Bahamas continue to rank among the most sought-after yacht charter destinations in the world, thanks to their accessibility, variety, and cruising convenience.

With direct international flights into Nassau and modern marina infrastructure throughout the islands, the Bahamas provide an easy gateway for charter guests and crew alike. From Nassau and Paradise Island, yachts can cruise seamlessly toward the Exumas, Eleuthera, or the Berry Islands, offering everything from lively anchorages to untouched natural beauty within short distances.

Shallow turquoise banks, calm waters, and protected anchorages make the Bahamas particularly appealing for families, first-time charter guests, and those seeking an effortless cruising experience paired with striking scenery.

Opening times and dates for the 2027 Bahamas Charter Yacht Show are yet to be announced.

Easily accessible from USA favorites like Florida, the Bahamas are easily accessible and boast an array of exceptional experiences that keep charter guests returning year after year.

From breathtaking dive sites like Dean's Blue Hole on Long Island to stunning national parks such as the Exuma Cays Land and Sea National Park, adventure awaits along every shoreline. Must-see highlights include the famous swimming pigs at Pig Beach, ensuring an unforgettable charter vacation for guests of all ages.
