Bahamas Yachting Aboard HELIOS

The Bahamas is a seductive yachting destination, with hundreds of remote islands and cays and idyllic anchorage spots. HELIOS, a 92-foot Lazzara motor yacht can be your home away from home while cruising this destination’s turquoise waters.

The Yacht | HELIOS

Built-in 2012 by Lazzara with a recent 2019 refit, HELIOS is a sleek yacht that demands attention. This yacht is one of the few American-made, express-style yachts over 90′ currently offered for charter. Since HELIOS only draws a 5-foot draft it is the perfect option for chartering in the Bahamas. What’s more, the yacht has an updated stabilization system to keep you comfortable throughout your charter.

The air-conditioned salon is bright and inviting. Outside, enjoy a cool drink and a snack at the foredeck table while looking for dolphins or watching the sunset.

Accommodations

HELIOS accommodates eight guests in 4 cabins. There’s one king, two queens, and one twin.

The master stateroom features a walk-around king bed with a big walk-in closet, vanity dresser, and settee. Large panoramic windows invite natural light. The windows also allow for breathtaking views while underway. Behind the bed, there is a large window viewing the ensuite and a separate jacuzzi spa room with a fold-out deck. Want more privacy? Simply tap a touch panel and the window will become opaque.
