Don't want the crossing? Fly in.
Prefer not to spend the crossing at sea? Fly in instead, we arrange the flight, the private transfer to the marina and the customs paperwork (fuel, marina, permit and immigration fees are quoted separately), and the yacht and crew are waiting when you land. Many guests fly one way and cruise the other.
These are our Bahamas-based yachts, crewed and equipped for island cruising, with all-inclusive rates covering crew, fuel, water toys, food and standard drinks. Pick one to pre-fill your inquiry, or tell us your dates and we will shortlist the boats that fit. Charters departing Miami are quoted separately — fuel, marina, permits and immigration fees are not included.

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.
Prime Experiences plans the whole crossing from Miami, captain and crew, marina slips, provisioning and shore-side reservations, so the only thing you decide is where to drop anchor next.
Crossing and travel times are estimates only. Actual timing depends on the yacht, departure point, weather, sea conditions, route and the itinerary you choose. Your captain makes the final call on the day.
Island hopping, nature, privacy and adventure.
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.
An example of how one day can unfold. Every Exumas itinerary is built around your group, and the route changes with weather and conditions.
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.
Move to the next cay, or stay in the water.
Arrive before sunset and go ashore for a walk.
At anchor, with the sky doing most of the work.
Example itinerary only. Every trip is customized, and the route, stops and timing depend on your group, the yacht, weather and sea conditions.
One morning you might wake up anchored beside an uninhabited cay. The next could begin with a swim through turquoise water before exploring Thunderball Grotto. Another afternoon might mean lunch on a quiet beach, snorkeling a reef, or arriving at Staniel Cay before sunset. That is the difference between visiting the Bahamas and cruising it: the view outside changes while you sleep.
Plan Your Exumas AdventureYou do not have to spend the crossing at sea. Depending on the destination, the yacht and the itinerary, guests can fly into the Bahamas and have the yacht experience begin there. It is a popular choice for travelers who would rather spend their days exploring islands than covering distance. Tell us your dates and we will confirm what is possible for your group.
Fly-in availability depends on the yacht, the destination and the itinerary. We confirm airports, timing and logistics with you before anything is booked.

The Exumas are a longer trip than Bimini or Nassau because the cays are spread out and the distance from Miami is greater. Most guests plan a full vacation rather than a weekend. We build the length around your dates, the yacht and how much ground you want to cover.
Swimming pigs, Thunderball Grotto, Staniel Cay, the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, reefs and blue holes, and a long list of deserted beaches and anchorages. A yacht is what makes several of these reachable in one trip.
Yes, the swimming pigs are one of the most requested stops in the Exumas and are commonly visited by boat. They are free-roaming animals, so we cannot guarantee encounters, and access depends on your route and conditions on the day.
Thunderball Grotto sits near Staniel Cay and is normally snorkeled around low tide. Whether you can enter on a given day depends on the tide, sea state and your captain's judgment.
It can be an exceptional family trip: shallow clear water, beaches, snorkeling and wildlife. It is a longer itinerary than Bimini or Nassau, so it suits families who have the time. Guest capacity depends on the yacht's sleeping cabins.
Often yes, and it is a popular choice for the Exumas specifically because it puts more of your time among the islands instead of covering distance. Availability depends on the yacht and itinerary, and we confirm the logistics with you before booking.
Bimini is the quick escape, close to Miami and focused on the water. Nassau combines yacht days with resorts, restaurants and nightlife. The Exumas are remote and nature-driven: hundreds of cays, very few crowds, and a trip built around moving between islands rather than staying in one place.
We estimate roughly 10 to 12 hours from miami at a comfortable cruising speed, but this is an estimate only. Crossing and travel times are estimates only. Actual timing depends on the yacht, departure point, weather, sea conditions, route and the itinerary you choose. Your captain makes the final call on the day.
Overnight trips typically carry 2–8 guests, since everyone needs a cabin. Day charters in Miami carry more, but multi-day charters are limited by sleeping capacity.
Your charter includes the yacht, licensed captain and crew, and a planned itinerary. Fuel for the crossing, marina slips, provisioning, customs fees where applicable and crew gratuity are quoted separately so you see exactly what you are paying for.
Yes. The Bahamas is an international destination, so every guest needs a valid passport. Your captain handles the vessel's clearance process on arrival.
Multi-day trips take planning: marina slips, provisioning and crew scheduling. We recommend reserving 4 to 8 weeks ahead, and earlier for holiday weekends.
Tell us your dates and we'll match the right yacht, marina slips and every detail on shore, your Exumas itinerary stays attached to the request.

“Lina and Mario were great for a group trip we had. We cruised around for a bit and did jet skis. They hosted our group for a birthday trip for my brother. I would definitely charter a boat again.”
