Term Charters
More Than a Charter. Make It a Journey.
Escape aboard your own private yacht for several days or an entire week. Wake up somewhere new each morning, discover secluded islands and hidden anchorages, and experience the freedom of a journey completely tailored around you.
Multi-Day Yacht Charters
Don't Just Visit.
Wake Up Somewhere New.
A term charter turns the yacht from a day on the water into your private home at sea. Cruise beyond Miami, spend multiple days aboard and build an itinerary around islands, anchorages, beaches and destinations that cannot be experienced in a few hours.
From a long weekend in Bimini to a week exploring the Exumas, YCN helps match you with the right yacht and shape the journey around your group.
The Experience
Your Yacht Becomes the Journey.
Instead of returning to the dock after a few hours, keep going. Each day can bring a new anchorage, island, marina or experience.
Choose Your Yacht
Match the yacht to your group, destination, range, accommodations and preferred style of cruising.
Build the Route
Shape the itinerary around the places you want to see while leaving room for weather and discovery.
Live Aboard
Wake up on the water, enjoy breakfast aboard and experience destinations without constantly packing and unpacking.
Keep Exploring
Move from island to island, marina to anchorage and let the yacht connect every part of the trip.
Why Go Multi-Day?
More Than a Charter.
A Different Way to Travel.
A term charter gives you the freedom to move at your own pace while keeping your accommodations, views and experiences with you.
Wake Up on the Water
Start the morning at anchor, in a marina or beside an island instead of returning to the same hotel room.
Reach More Places
Explore secluded beaches, cays and anchorages that are best accessed by private yacht.
Your Own Itinerary
Build the route around your interests rather than following a fixed group-tour schedule.
Water Every Day
Swim, snorkel and enjoy yacht-specific water toys as conditions and locations allow.
Life Aboard
Combine time aboard with island restaurants, beach clubs, marinas and local experiences along the route.
Slow Down
Stay longer when you find somewhere special instead of trying to fit the experience into a single day.
Choose Your Journey
How Long Should You Charter?
The best duration depends on your departure point, yacht, cruising speed and how deeply you want to explore.
The Long Weekend
Ideal for a quick escape such as Bimini or a short South Florida and Keys itinerary, depending on the yacht, conditions and departure point.
The Island Escape
More time to slow down, combine several stops and enjoy the yacht without turning every day into a transit day.
The Full Experience
A week opens the door to deeper Bahamas itineraries, including multiple islands and cays, depending on your starting point and yacht.
Where Will You Go?
One Yacht. Endless Possibilities.
South Florida is a natural gateway to island-hopping, the Florida Keys and The Bahamas.
Bimini
A natural first Bahamas escape from South Florida, combining clear water, beaches, snorkeling and island time in a compact itinerary.
Nassau & New Providence
A major yachting hub with provisioning, marinas, restaurants and access to surrounding islands and onward Bahamas itineraries.
The Exumas
Turquoise banks, secluded cays, sandbars, reefs and wildlife encounters make the Exumas one of the signature multi-day yacht destinations.
Eleuthera & Harbour Island
Combine quieter anchorages and island exploration with the distinctive character of Harbour Island and Eleuthera.
Florida Keys
Cruise south through Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon and toward Key West with reefs, waterfront stops and changing island scenery.
Your Own Route
Tell YCN how many days you have and what you want from the trip. The route can then be developed around the yacht, weather and your priorities.
Choose the Right Yacht
For a Term Charter, the Yacht Matters Differently.
For a day charter, social space may be everything. For multiple days aboard, cabins, storage, range, ride comfort, crew areas and onboard systems become much more important.
A Week on the Water
No Two Days Need to Look the Same.
A sample Bahamas rhythm — not a fixed itinerary. The actual route always depends on the yacht, departure point, weather and conditions.
Day 1 — Depart
Board, settle into the yacht and begin the journey toward your first destination or overnight anchorage.
Days 2–3 — Explore
Swim, snorkel, visit beaches and move between islands or cays at a pace that suits the group.
Days 4–5 — Go Deeper
Continue farther into the itinerary, mix secluded anchorages with marinas, restaurants or island stops.
Final Days — Return Slowly
Use the final part of the charter for favorite stops, new discoveries and a comfortable route back.
