The Bahamas

Yacht Delivery & Captain Services for the Bahamas

The Bahamas are close to Fort Lauderdale on the map, but the crossing deserves respect. Premium Captains provides professional captains and crew for owners of roughly 40–100 ft catamarans and motor yachts heading over, coming back, or both.

Services

Yacht deliveries and relocations: A professional captain moves your catamaran or motor yacht from where it is to where you need it.
Owner-aboard captaining: Come along for the trip. We skipper, you enjoy the boat and learn how it behaves.
Crew: Additional crew when the boat, route or schedule calls for more hands.
Pre-trip planning: Route, weather windows and boat readiness talked through with you before we leave the dock.
Relief captains: When a larger boat already has a full-time captain and crew, and that captain is out for an issue, a family matter or a new baby, we provide a relief captain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 Do you take boats across to the Bahamas and back?

Yes, for roughly 40–100 ft catamarans and motor yachts. Text us your boat, route and dates, and we'll tell you what's realistic.

Q2 When is a good time to cross the Gulf Stream?

It depends on the wind, the sea state and the boat. We watch the forecast and choose a window with you.

Q3 Can I come aboard for the crossing?

Yes. Owner-aboard captaining is one of our core services, and it's a great way to learn the crossing.

Q4 What about customs and paperwork?

Entering the Bahamas and returning to the U.S. both involve customs steps. We'll go over it with you during planning.
