Last updated on 8 April 2025
Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. The country's commercial and cultural center, it is its largest city with more than 211,000 inhabitants, and is so large that it occupies almost the entire island of New Providence and merges with it. Thanks to the yacht charter, sailboat and catamaran in Nassau, boaters can discover several islands in a single trip. The city center is located on the northeast coast of the island, facing Paradise Island, where Atlantis Paradise Island is located, a tourist complex that has become the archipelago's main attraction and employs more than 6,000 Bahamians, making it the country's second largest employer after the state.
Nassau has a major port, Nassau Harbor, as well as Prince George Wharf, the main terminal for cruise ships. The city has a specific architecture, a colorful blend of colonial and European styles. The tropical climate, as well as the city's proximity to the United States, has made it a prime tourist destination. Every year, on December 26 and January 1, a large parade takes place in the city, and many residents parade in costume to the sound of cencerros, drums and whistles.
The pearls of Nassau
Yacht charter in the Bahamas is the ideal way to discover the beautiful landscapes that this destination has to offer. The city of Nassau occupies almost the entire island of New Providence and is home to around 60% of the Bahamian population. So you've come to the right place to understand the history of the Bahamas! First invaded by the English, then the Spanish, pirates, then the English again… This city, steeped in history, has many places to visit. Among them, visit Fort Fincastle & Queen's Staircase and Fort Charlotte. Once at the top of the Fort, you can enjoy a 360° view of the city of Nassau.
We recommend that you take a trip to John Watling's Distillery for the famous rum tasting. The John Watling's Distillery was named in honor of the British pirate «John Watling», who died in 1682 and took up residence on the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas. The distillery is located in an old house built in 1789, completely renovated, where more than 300 years of Bahamian history are traced. Also in the historic city center, "John Watling" rum, nicknamed "the spirit of the Bahamas," is handcrafted by Bahamians using local materials and traditional English rum-making methods.
