Contrary to popular thought, the Bahamas is an excellent charter location in Spring, Summer and Fall, and not necessarily in the dead of Winter. Unbeknownst to many, it can snow in Nassau in the Winter. Perhaps only once every 30 years and perhaps there is never any accumulation, however the weather can dip low enough for snow to fall. Cold weather in the Bahamas in the Winter is usually part of a winter storm that might blow through in several days, and then the weather returns to warm and sunny. So you can still consider chartering in the Bahamas and take your chances that a storm will not blow through, or if a storm does, take solace in the fact that it probably will not last for your whole week of charter.
April and May are excellent charter times in the Bahamas, with days of bright sunny weather and clear warm waters. June through November can be excellent charter times as well, although the occasional hurricane can come through, so you should be sure to consider the purchase of Trip Cancellation Insurance for that time period.
