Luxury yacht rental LEVERAGE has opened bookings for Bahamas yacht charters for the winter 2026/27 season, bringing the 125ft (38.1m) Palmer Johnson yacht to the region for private cruising between the islands and cays.

Built in 2003 and completing a multi-million-dollar refit in 2023, luxury yacht charter LEVERAGE is arranged across several decks for indoor and outdoor living, with multiple dining areas, a deck Jacuzzi with a swim-up bar, and an on-deck barbecue.

Her PADI-certified dive center also gives guests the opportunity to make use of scuba equipment during their charter.

Outdoor living aboard LEVERAGE

LEVERAGE is a private yacht charter set up for spending time outside, with a sun deck, exterior bar, sunpads, and a swim platform providing different ways to enjoy the yacht at anchor.

The deck Jacuzzi incorporates a swim-up bar, while multiple dining areas and an outdoor barbecue give groups options for relaxed meals throughout the day.

The watersports inventory is geared toward both active days on the water and more relaxed time at anchor. Guests can use two three-seat Yamaha VX Cruiser WaveRunners, two SEABOBs, two paddleboards and several kayaks, alongside waterskis, a kneeboard, towable equipment, snorkeling gear and fishing equipment.

LEVERAGE is also a PADI-certified training center, allowing guests to undertake scuba training and diving during their charter.

Her 19ft (5.79m) Nautica tender provides access to beaches, shallow-water anchorages, and dive sites throughout Bahamas and Exumas yacht charters, while two bikes and beach games offer options when guests head ashore.

Cruising the Bahamas by private yacht charter

The Bahamas offers a network of islands and cays that lends itself to multi-stop yacht itineraries, with cruising grounds ranging from the developed facilities and restaurants of Nassau to the smaller settlements and anchorages of the Out Islands.

The Bahamas currently lists 16 main island destinations, with the wider archipelago comprising more than 700 islands and cays.

For a charter aboard LEVERAGE, the Exumas provide a natural focus for time on the water. Elizabeth Harbour is a well-established anchorage for visiting Caribbean yacht charters from November through May, while the wider Exumas provide opportunities for snorkeling, diving, fishing, and exploring smaller cays by tender.

The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is also a significant part of the cruising environment, with protected marine areas requiring guests and crews to follow local conservation rules.

The Abacos offer a different style of itinerary, with a chain of islands and cays extending for around 120 miles and a strong boating infrastructure. The area includes settlements such as Hope Town and Green Turtle Cay, while the protected waters between the islands allow for island-hopping by yacht.

The Bahamas tourism authority lists 17 marinas across the Abacos, giving Bahamas yacht charter itineraries a choice of places to stop between days spent cruising and exploring by tender.
