Yacht Vacations in the Bahamas
Paradise and Tranquility for Nature Lovers
The Exumas are a string of 365 unspoiled islands and cays Southeast of Nassau, referred to as the “Out Islands” and stretch over a 120-mile-long archipelago. Remote locations with miles and miles of pristine white sandy beaches make the Exumas a true paradise. Explore sand bars, crystal clear waters, vibrant underwater life, nature trails, grottos and even swimming pigs! If getting away from it all is what you desire, then a crewed yacht charter in the Exumas is the perfect vacation for you. The best time to charter is between November and August. The weather in the winter months is a little cooler with temperatures ranging from 70-75F. Summer is warmer with averages of 80-85F.
REMOTE LOCATIONS
Chain of Cays
The north-south layout of this exotic chain of cays makes sailing up and down the Exumas very desirable. Yacht charters start in Nassau making this destination easily accessible.

What an amazing week we had, thank you! There wasn’t a detail overlooked, or an adventure missed, or a meal that wasn’t done to perfection! You went above and beyond, and yet made it look so very effortless. Your knowledge of the BVI, and all the amenities on the boat, led us to enjoy absolutely everything we wanted to in our short week… from diving to hiking, snorkeling to shelling, sup’ing to fishing, and even a little bar hopping! We fit it all in without having to make any big decisions or contemplate where we would go each day. Thank you!
The greatest gift to us was being together as a family, disconnecting from the world and getting to know and enjoy the two of you. You are so very skilled at what you do. The meals, snacks, and fancy drinks exceeded all expectation! I’m not quite sure how you pull it off in that tiny galley, and yet each meal was five star, plated to perfection, and delicious. You quietly accommodated our dietary restrictions, and not just during main course, but dessert too!
We are going to miss the bin of Sun Bum, colorful Turkish towels, personalized Yeti’s and much much more!

Thank you for a fabulous week. Great times doesn’t even really begin to describe the experience. Your willingness to share your version of heaven has been eye opening! For a kid from the deserts of the west I’ve never experienced what the sea has to offer. Thank you for showing me a world I didn’t understand or really knew existed. I am no sailor, but feel somewhat accomplished in the basics. Thank you all for an incredible experience. Cheers to the opportunity to do it sooner rather than later.
