With the winter yacht charter season about to kick into high gear in the Bahamas and Caribbean, several top management companies have welcomed notable motoryachts into their fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the largest yacht in this category is Samsara<\/em>, a 290-foot Oceanco<\/a> that recently joined the Y.CO<\/a> charter fleet. Brokers are now accepting inquiries for winter charters in the Bahamas and Caribbean (and for summer 2024 bookings in Greenland and Iceland) at a lowest weekly base rate of $1.1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsara<\/em> is a 2015 build that most recently was refitted in 2023, with accommodations for 12 guests in seven staterooms. This yacht has a private owners\u2019 deck, swimming pool, gymnasium, massage room and hair salon, along with an elevator for guest use. \u201cHer seven-cabin layout is ideal for multigenerational groups or two families traveling together,\u201d says David Price of Y.CO<\/a> Charter Management. \u201cIt offers the flexibility to suit many kinds of charter groups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, over at Edmiston, two notable yachts have joined the charter fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First is Wayfinder<\/em>, 223-foot powercat that Astilleros Armon built in 2021. This yacht has an unusual layout, with 11 en suite staterooms (nine singles and two with twin berths) for 12 guests, along with quarters for 20 crew. It can be booked as either its own charter yacht or as a support vessel for more traditional charter yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wayfinder<\/em> has an open aft deck with a helipad that doubles as a pickleball court. This yacht also has belowdecks storage for six tenders and four Sea-Doos. The lowest base rate to book a week in the Caribbean is $300,000, with inquiries also being accepted for the Mediterranean and other destinations in summer 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also new to the Edmiston charter fleet is the 164-foot Home<\/em>, a 2017 Heesen<\/a> that will be in the Bahamas this winter at a lowest weekly base rate of $245,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home<\/em> accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, and charters with nine crew. Interiors are by Cristiano Gatto\u2014Edmiston describes them as \u201ccrisp, light-filled and Ibiza-inspired.\u201d For outdoor fun, the complement of tenders and toys includes a 34-foot Jupiter towed tender, a 21-foot Williams jet tender that can reportedly hit 35 knots, Sea-Doos, standup paddleboards, skis, inflatables, snorkeling gear and scuba equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, last but not least, IYC has added the 162-foot Christensen Remember When<\/em> to the charter fleet, with bookings available this winter in the Bahamas at a lowest weekly base rate of $230,000. It\u2019s a 2011 build that was most recently refitted in 2020, with accommodations for 12 guests in six staterooms. An elevator services all four decks, and the full-beam main-deck master has a private office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it too early to call for summer 2024 yacht charter bookings?<\/strong> Nope. In fact, IYC also just welcomed the 90-foot Sanlorenzo SAL<\/em> to the charter fleet. It\u2019s a brand-new build for 2023 that\u2019s currently accepting bookings for the West Mediterranean, Croatia and Montenegro in summer 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
