The Ultimate Bahamas Yacht Adventure
The Exumas are not a single stop. They are a chain of hundreds of cays spread across shallow, extraordinarily clear water, and the yacht is what makes them accessible. This is an island-hopping trip: swimming pigs, Thunderball Grotto, Staniel Cay, the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, and long stretches of beach with nobody on them. It is the longest and most ambitious Bahamas itinerary we run, and the most rewarding.
The Exumas offer their own special Bahamian experience. Tour Great Exumas, Little Exumas and the Exumas Cays, chill out on the beach or rub elbows with the rich and famous. Explore hidden grottoes, swim with pigs and sharks, and anchor at deserted cays for memories of a lifetime.
Itinerary ideas are possibilities, not guarantees. The final route depends on the yacht, the length of the charter, the weather and what you would like to do.

The Exumas are famous for feral pigs that swim out to visiting boats in shallow water. It is the single most recognizable Bahamas experience. The pigs are free-roaming animals, so sightings and behavior vary, and access depends on your route and conditions.
A partially submerged cave system near Staniel Cay, best known from the James Bond films. Snorkelers enter at low tide when conditions allow, and the light through the openings is the reason people come.
A small, laid-back island with a marina and a village atmosphere. It works as a base for exploring the surrounding cays and is close to several of the area's best-known stops.
A protected marine park covering a large stretch of the Exuma Cays. Clear water, reefs and marine life, with conservation rules that your captain will follow.
Much of the appeal here is what is not there. Anchor away from crowds, take the tender ashore and have a beach essentially to yourself for the afternoon.
Reefs, blue holes and marine environments throughout the cays. What you can explore depends on certification, conditions and the equipment aboard your yacht.
Lunch set up on a quiet beach is one of the easiest things to arrange out here. Availability depends on the crew, provisioning and where you are anchored that day.
The real reason to bring a yacht. In a single trip you can move between multiple cays, each with a different anchorage, beach and character, without repacking once.

Coffee on deck, nobody else in sight.
Snorkel the grotto when the tide and conditions allow.
Tender ashore for lunch on an empty stretch of sand.
