As of 2026, 13 U.S. airports offer direct flights to Nassau via major airlines, including American, Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest. The most frequent flights occur from Florida, with 1-2 hour flights down to paradise. Other airports in major cities such as Atlanta and New York also provide direct flights into Nassau.

Boatbookings has been supporting sustainable chartering for more than twenty years, and the dream is finally becoming a reality. A handful of innovative yacht builders are pushing the boundaries of electrification, solar energy, and onboard battery storage, and we regularly highlight these developments on our blog.
No manufacturer has pushed the technology more than Sunreef Yachts, who offer their ECO range of catamarans designed to rethink how yachts generate and use energy. Rather than relying primarily on diesel engines, the Sunreef Eco Series combines large solar arrays, electric propulsion, and high-capacity battery systems to dramatically reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
In practical terms, this means you can charter with very little fuel consumption, even while running air conditioning and cruising under power.
Here are the key sustainability features that make Sunreef Eco catamarans stand out.
Solar Power Built Into the Yacht
One of the most distinctive features of the Eco line is the “solar skin” (see picture above). While many charter yachts now add solar panels to their roofs to cut down on the use of the generator, Sunreef integrates thin photovoltaic panels directly into the yacht’s structure.
These panels are embedded into virtually all of the external boat surfaces, making it one large floating solar panel. On larger models, the solar coverage can exceed 200 square meters, allowing the yacht to generate a meaningful amount of electricity throughout the day. This reduces the need to run diesel generators for onboard systems such as air conditioning, refrigeration, lighting, and electronics.
For charter guests, this also means much quieter anchorages, fewer engine hours, and lower cost.
Electric Propulsion Instead of Traditional Engines
Most traditional yachts rely on diesel engines for propulsion and generators for electricity. Sunreef Eco models replace this system with electric propulsion powered by large battery banks.
This provides:
dramatically reduced fuel consumption
almost silent operation
far less vibration
reduced emissions
Electric motors also provide immediate torque and very smooth maneuvering, which is particularly helpful when docking large catamarans.
Large Battery Systems Store Renewable Energy
The biggest impediment to fully solar yachts is, of course, energy use at night when the sun isn’t shining. The obvious answer to this is batteries, but until recently, battery packs large enough to power a large yacht have been prohibitively expensive or heavy. Battery costs have declined by 95% in the past 15 years, finally making all of this feasible. Sunreef Eco catamarans include large lithium battery banks, capable of storing hundreds of kilowatt-hours of electricity. In certain conditions, the yacht can operate for long periods without running a generator at all.
More Sustainable Materials and Design
Sunreef has also begun addressing the materials used in yacht construction and interiors. Initiatives include:
Alternative decking materials that reduce reliance on traditional teak
Recycled or responsibly sourced interior materials
Energy-efficient lighting and onboard systems
None of this makes the yacht look less luxurious. If anything, the interiors feel warmer and more contemporary than many traditional builds.
Sustainability, in this case, does not mean sacrificing comfort.
The Benefits for Charter Guests
Even if sustainability is not a primary driver of your charter yacht choice, the features above create several practical benefits:
Quieter anchorages with fewer generator hours
Lower emissions cruising in sensitive marine environments
Greater energy independence when exploring remote areas
A more modern onboard experience

During your holiday to the British Virgin Islands, you can either fly directly into the Terrance B. Lettsome airport on Tortola or fly into the Cyril E. King airport on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Should you choose to fly into St. Thomas, you would then take a ferry or private water taxi to Tortola.
Ferries typically have a set pickup and drop-off location and schedule, with tickets that can be purchased through individual companies in advance. We recommend using Road Town Fast Ferry, Native Son Inc. Ferries, or Smith Ferries. Ferry tickets are also typically the cheaper option.
Alternatively, you can rent a private water taxi, which allows you to choose your pickup and drop-off location. The customs process is relatively quicker, and you can customize your experience with drinks depending on the company you use. We recommend using Island Time BVI, Chillout Charters, or The Last Mile Water Taxi.
However you choose to get to Tortola, the charter experts at Boatbookings are here to hold your hand every step of the way. Contact our team, and they will recommend the best travel plan for you!
The Boatbookings Superyacht of the Week series returns for 2026 with a yacht that represents the future of luxury chartering. This week’s spotlight is on SEAWOLF X, a cutting-edge 40 metre hybrid-electric catamaran from Italian shipyard Rossinavi that rethinks what modern yachting can be. Delivered in 2024, she blends technology, sustainable design, and spectacular living spaces, offering an unmatched charter experience aboard a truly contemporary vessel.
One of SEAWOLF X’s most striking aspects is her hybrid-electric propulsion system. This dramatically reduces noise and emissions, entering a near-silent mode at anchor. It creates an entirely different onboard ambience, so you can keep the music low while just hearing the sounds of the sea as you watch the sun set at cocktail hour!
M/Y SEAWOLF X – Dining Room
The 100 m² lounge and dining area offers an exceptional social space, awash in natural light and finished with bespoke pieces by Silverlining, Frank Pollaro and Linley. The result feels more like a private luxury residence. This focus on unique design enhances each time spent onboard.
SEAWOLF X features gym equipment, spa and sauna facilities, which is an excellent way to unwind after a lunch stop filled with adrenaline, whether you are flying underwater with the Cudajet underwater jetpacks or over the water on the Jet ski or Efoil.
M/Y SEAWOLF X – Sundowner Spot
Perfectly suited to summer cruising between Sardinia’s stunning bays and Sicily’s charming anchorages, SEAWOLF X offers a refined charter experience. Cruising from the Costa Smeralda to Taormina or the Aeolian Islands, guests can enjoy both vibrant waterfront culture and untouched marine scenery aboard a yacht that epitomizes the future of luxury at sea.
On your 7-day yacht charter itinerary through St. Vincent and the Grenadines, you can fully immerse yourself in the laidback lifestyle of the Caribbean. Boutiques and local cafes on Bequia step away from the cookie-cutter tourist industry and allow you to explore an intimate side of local island life. Step inside a generationally family-owned shop for unique souvenirs, then grab a coffee and take a stroll around the charming old town.
On Petit St. Vincent, nature takes center stage. There are little to no crowds on this privately owned island, where guided hikes take you beneath a canopy of tropical trees to lookout points with panoramic views of the region. Hidden coves with glassy waters and vibrant corals invite you to play in the shallows, testing water toys such as E-Foils, SeaBobs, and Subwings.
