Who PLAYTIME suits

Lagoon power catamaran PLAYTIME is tailored for families or close groups of friends seeking relaxed days on the water. Measuring 19.5 m, she accommodates 6 guests across 3 cabins, looked after by a dedicated crew of 3. Following her 2021 refit after her build in 2018, she provides an inviting setting where guests can gather on the sun deck, enjoy lunch prepared on the bbq, or explore quiet bays with paddleboards and a wakeboard.

When evaluated against comparable yachts cruising the Bahamas, PLAYTIME sits at a similar length and shares a similar build year with alternatives in the region. Her weekly rate is also similar to comparable options, whilst she accommodates fewer guests than many alternatives, ensuring those on board enjoy generous personal space and attentive service.

The best time to plan a charter aboard PLAYTIME depends on your preferred cruising grounds across her 2026 calendar. For winter escapes between January and April, she navigates both the Caribbean and the Bahamas in delightful sunshine. During the summer season, months such as June, July and August provide splendid conditions to discover 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 Cay
Located 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 Cay
A central Exuma hub providing protected mooring options, direct access to Thunderball Grotto, and close proximity to Big Major Cay.
Warderick Wells Cay
The 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 Cay
Situated at the northern gateway to the Exumas, it provides sheltered anchorage on its leeward side and an established marina for fuel and water.
