Who EMINA suits
EMINA is well suited to large family gatherings or sociable parties seeking a balanced mix of comfort and space. At 42 m, this Benetti motor yacht welcomes 12 guests across 6 cabins, supported by an attentive crew of 9. Her layout makes entertaining easy, with days spent lounging beside the swimming pool, unwinding in the jacuzzi on deck, or stepping down to the beach club for effortless time near the water.
Against comparable yachts in the Bahamas, she sits at a similar length and welcomes the same number of guests. Having entered service in 2014 and benefited from a refit in 2022, she is newer than alternatives in the destination, yet commands a similar weekly rate. This pedigree, backed by stabilizers at anchor, provides reassuring seakeeping for guests cruising the area.
The best time to embark on EMINA spans both winter and summer across the Bahamas and the Caribbean in 2026. Winter journeys from December through April provide blissful warmth and calm cruising throughout the region. Chartering in June or July presents an equally rewarding way to experience the anchorages of the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

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.
