Who DANCING QUEEN suits
DANCING QUEEN is a 15.8 m motor yacht that accommodates four guests across two cabins. With a crew of two to manage operations and guest needs, she is well-suited for intimate trips where personalised attention is a priority. Her layout and onboard features, including air conditioning, a swim platform, a waverunner, and a towable tube, provide a practical setup for those looking to enjoy time on the water. The inclusion of special diets ensures that meal planning remains straightforward throughout the journey.
When evaluating options in the Bahamas, she sits close to the typical length for comparable yachts in the area. Her guest capacity matches other vessels of this type, and she shares a similar build year with alternatives found nearby. Potential charterers will find that the weekly rate remains consistent with the market for this class of yacht. She presents a balanced choice for those who appreciate a vessel that aligns with the established standards for her size and category in the region.
The best time to experience the Caribbean, the East Coast United States, the Bahamas, and the Florida - East Coast is between December and April, when the weather remains dry and trade winds are steady. While she is also scheduled for these locations from May through November, guests should consider that the period from June onwards marks the Atlantic hurricane season. Opting for a charter during the drier months allows for the most consistent conditions across her cruising grounds.

Cruising the Bahamas: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from mid-December through April, marked by prevailing easterly trade winds of 10 to 20 knots and dry conditions. Occasional winter cold fronts bring stronger northwesterly winds. May is warm and calm. The Atlantic hurricane season officially spans 1 June to 30 November, bringing higher humidity, increased rainfall, and lower charter traffic, though summer conditions can offer settled seas outside of tropical systems.
Practical tips
- Fly into Nassau (NAS) or Exuma (GGT); Nassau's marinas are 20–30 minutes from Lynden Pindling International, while regional and private flights access Out Island airstrips.
- Cruising permits are required upon entry, and fishing or shelling is strictly prohibited within the boundaries of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
- Provision thoroughly in Nassau before departing for the Out Islands, where grocery selections are limited and dependent on weekly freight deliveries.
Anchorages to know
- Shroud CayLocated within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, this uninhabited mangrove island offers tidal creeks navigable by tender and sheltered anchorage on its western side.
- Staniel CayA central Exuma hub providing protected mooring options, direct access to Thunderball Grotto, and close proximity to Big Major Cay.
- Warderick Wells CayThe headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park features a protected mooring field within a natural deep-water channel and marked hiking trails.
- Highbourne CaySituated at the northern gateway to the Exumas, it provides sheltered anchorage on its leeward side and an established marina for fuel and water.
