Charter Fleet Update

Reserve a 7- to 10-day abacos itinerary now to lock in longer charters and customizable options that maximize adventures and dolcevita time along pristine shores.

The arrival window for TSUMAT has been optimized to smooth peak-season check-ins, and the fleet includes upgraded interiors, larger lounges, and enhanced amenities that elevate retreats. Crew placements focus on efficiency and attentiveness, with longer shifts for better guest service and a deck layout that supports flexible gatherings or quiet mornings on the bow. This adjustment keeps the experience comfortable for all guests.

From abacos to secluded coves, guests can tailor routes that celebrate nature and adventures. The program includes shore-side experiences such as private beach picnics, reef snorkeling, and guided mangrove walks, all designed to feel authentic and intimate. We have seen demand grow for customizable itineraries that balance dolcevita pleasures with genuine exploration, and the newer vessels respond with deeper stabilizers and pristine operation.

To keep things legitimate and easy, all charters placed now come with a transparent provisioning plan and a bank of vetted partners. The options include a variety of cabins, flexible dining setups, and a menu of services that guests can include or drop, making each retreat truly personal. Arrival planning, shore excursions, and on-board activities are coordinated by the crew to deliver a seamless, better experience for every guest.

Performance systems: propulsion, stability, and guest comfort

Recommendation: implement a hybrid propulsion suite with twin diesel-electric azimuth thrusters (2 x 2,400 kW) and a 350 kW bow thruster, controlled by an intelligent energy-management system. This setup delivers precise open-water handling for Atlantic passages and smooth docking in Caribbean harbors. Expect fuel burn reductions up to 20% at 9–12 knots and cabin noise under 58 dB at cruise. Redundancy is built in, with remote diagnostics and weekly system checks, and this year’s charter data show robust performance across varied seas. The configuration is used by numerous famous 50m yachts and supports flexible itineraries that include virgin routes and wedding-charter events.

Stability and guest comfort: Active gyro stabilizers with fins and an adaptive trim system cut roll by 70–80% at anchor and in 2–3 m swells. The effect is evident in open aft lounges, dining spaces, and cabins, where guests relax with minimal vibration. A dedicated dining table stays stable for meals, while the crews tailor trim and ballast to guest load, keeping cabins serene for families, couples, and wedding parties alike. The system supports both open-water cruising and harbor conditions, with a simple interface that lets guests adjust climate and lighting while the open-air salon remains comfortable.

Interiors and cabins: The 50m hull hosts six guest cabins plus a full-beam master suite, with suite-level privacy and flexible configurations. Riva-inspired lines and virgin finishes create an elegant, timeless feel, while open sightlines enhance social spaces. Includes additional options for table-based dining and flexible seating for numerous setups, making weekly offers attractive for families, brides and grooms planning weddings, and corporate charters. The year-round operations rely on the crews who keep guest comfort constant, from the suite to the cabins, with smarter controls that simplify management of lighting, climate, and music.

Deck layout and water toys: what’s included for regatta charters

Choose a sheltered aft deck with a wide back platform and a dedicated water toys locker; this layout speeds regatta prep and keeps gear ready at hand.

Usually, four crew worked to stock the locker and perform a final check on each item. Equipment includes snorkel gear, two stand-up paddle boards, two kayaks, towable tubes, and a wakeboard or water ski. The system relies on a simple card reader to log access and a color-coded labeling system to speed chores, providing clarity for both guests and crew. This approach reduces much stress during regatta prep.

Next, prior to launch, evaluate the zones that matter at regatta time: a raised flybridge for line-of-sight and shade, a sheltered aft cockpit for provisioning and crew calls, and a low, turquoise swim platform that allows quick water entry and easy storage through the tender bay. Each area should connect through smooth transitions so you can discover seamless flow from deck to water.

On Benetti yachts, the design prioritizes safety and pace, with four primary toy zones plus a complete prep area for the crew. The back deck serves as the primary launching point, while the middeck keeps gear within reach where space permits without crowding guests. The forward lounge area stays sheltered, offering serenity and an exquisite image that mirrors nature.

That setup supports yachting to the regatta rhythm: you move through checks, shift gear, and keep the crew coordinated. If you want an ideal balance of activity and rest, the arrangement allows guests to enjoy nature and calm scenery, while still having something exhilarating within reach.

The next check confirms all toys are secured and ready for action.

Caribbean-Bahamas itineraries: sample routes and permit basics

Book a 7–10 day Caribbean-Bahamas itinerary that blends island-hopping with easy anchorages and luxury on board. Start in Nassau for provisioning, customs, and a smooth line-of-sight entry to the Exumas, then flow to Eleuthera and Harbour Island for pink sands, and finish in Abaco before returning to Nassau.

Sample Route A: Nassau → Exumas → Eleuthera/Harbour Island → Abaco → Nassau. This path highlights reefs, calm bays, and longer sails between cays when the wind cooperates. Each leg stays within easy daily distances, leaving room for snorkeling, beach time, and formal dinners on deck.

Sample Route B: Nassau → Berry Islands → Grand Bahama → Abaco → Eleuthera → Nassau. Longer hops combine famous harbours with quiet anchorages, while island-hopping keeps the crew fresh and the group engaged with multiple spaces to explore.

Permit basics: On arrival, Bahamas Customs issues a Temporary Import Permit (TIP) for the vessel. Bring the yacht’s registration and insurance documents, plus a crew manifest and passenger card for each guest. Your local agent can file the TIP and coordinate port-of-entry clearance; plan to present passports and visas as required. Always bnow check the latest rules with your broker, as procedures can shift with seasons. Keep a simple itinerary and a leather logbook on board to record milestones, weather, and notable reef sightings; this helps with future anniversaries and keeps the group organized. Maintain a small bank of USD on the yacht for onshore purchases and tips; a card-linked solution simplifies payments. Thanks to the port teams for smooth processing.

Practical tips to maximize ease: provisioning in Nassau, use a shore-based data plan, and keep an on-board card for expenses; create a line-of-sight plan for reef passes; pack a compact leather bag with essentials; plan celebrations for anniversaries with sunset sails and private deck dinners. The route offers something for every guest, and the spaces allow groups to spread out or gather together as needed.

To book more details, confirm the exact TIP validity and port-of-entry requirements for your travel window with your charter broker. This approach balances longer sails with easy days and ensures you celebrate in luxury while island-hopping.

Crew structure and service levels: tailor-made experiences

Recommendation: maintain a 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio for up to 12 guests on a 50m TSUMAT, ensuring attentive service from a captain, a first mate, an engineer, a premier chef, and a steward team of four, plus two deckhands and a dedicated underwater activities and watersports lead. On bareboat phases, the crew handles provisioning and safety; on our fleet they are located in two zones–bridge and guest areas–to stay together with guests and respond instantly. If you travel to the bahamas, plan an itinerary around activities, reef exploration, and serene days at anchor, with arrival details confirmed prior to departure.

Structure by role: the Captain runs safety and routes, the First Mate supervises deck operations, and the Engineer keeps engines, generators, and climate systems reliable. The Chef designs menus around local ingredients and guest dietary needs, while the c-sisters lead the steward team and coordinate dining, housekeeping, and guest comfort. Two deckhands handle mooring, tenders, and equipment around the yacht, and a dedicated underwater activities and watersports lead coordinates snorkeling, paddleboards, and other activities. Being present with guests enhances the experience. Their aim: keep rooms kept spotless and service smooth across travel days and port calls, whether you stay together on a serene Bahamas loop or cross the atlantic for a premier itinerary. We also stay ready when weather shifts, adjusting schedules and routes to keep comfort high.

Service levels switch with the day: morning service delivers fresh coffee and breakfast orders, midday service plates for lunch, and refined dinner options with paired beverages. Housekeeping can be arranged twice daily, and turndown adds a calm end to the day. The crew communicates in advance about preferred dining times, which helps them prepare and avoid delays. For different ports, they adjust provisioning and equipment, ensuring underwater gear, snorkel kits, and wetsuits are ready where needed. Please note that arrival ports across the archipelago influence schedules and rates, so share your prior preferences early.

Itinerary and provisioning: across the Bahamas and beyond, you can tailor routes to fit activities like reef snorkel, cave exploration, and calm evenings at serene anchorages. For travel between out islands, the support team coordinates transfers and equipment, so guests can focus on enjoying the room, the water toys, and the sun. Rates reflect season, crew level, and requested services; for peak periods expect premium on premier itineraries, while off-season charters offer more room for customization. If you have special requests, share them in advance; this helps the crew stock provisions and arrange the best berths and arrival times.
