What a Private Bahamas Charter Costs

A private, fully crewed Amihan Charters catamaran charter starts at $4,500 for 5 nights (Island Hopper) and $6,500 for 7 nights (Full Bahamas Odyssey) — for the whole vessel, not per person. That price includes your captain, daily breakfast and lunch, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and fuel. It does not include dinner (guests dine ashore or add a private chef) or alcohol beyond what's arranged as an add-on.

How It Compares

Where Amihan Sits

Most Bahamas charter pricing is either hidden behind an inquiry form or built for a much larger boat than you need. Here's the honest comparison.

OptionTypical priceWhat you're getting
Amihan Charters $4,500–$6,500 / whole vessel, 5–7 nights Fully crewed, all-inclusive except dinner & alcohol, max 4 guests, LGBT-owned & operated
Brokered crewed catamaran $8,000–$12,000 / week Comparable-size vessel booked through a broker, per Amihan's own market research
Bareboat rental Often cheaper up front No captain or crew — requires a licensed, experienced sailor aboard
No Surprises

What's Included — and What Isn't

All private charters include: exclusive use of the vessel, your USCG-licensed captain, European-style breakfast and light lunch daily, non-alcoholic beverages, snorkeling gear for all guests, paddleboards, a dinghy for shore excursions, bedding and towels, and fuel. Dinner is not included — guests can dine ashore or add a private chef for onboard dinners. A premium bar package and first mate service are also available as add-ons.

Common Questions

Pricing FAQ

No. Gratuity for your captain and crew is not included in the charter price. A customary gratuity for excellent service is typically 10–20% of the total charter cost, at your discretion.
Private charters are priced for the whole vessel, not per person — so a group of 4 splitting a $4,500 Island Hopper charter works out to roughly $1,125 per person before add-ons. Our scheduled group sailing events are priced per person instead; see the Group Sailing Events page for those rates.
Every private charter price is for exclusive use of the boat regardless of group size — solo travelers and couples charter the whole vessel at the same starting price as a group of 4. If you'd rather sail with company at a lower per-person cost, our group sailing events are built for exactly that.
