The Exumas might be my favorite yacht charter destination. It's nothing like other areas in the Caribbean, such as the British Virgin Islands, and that's part of the reason we love it. It's has a character completely unique to anywhere else.
So why do we keep returning year after year?
- Unbelievable shades of blue - some of the prettiest water you'll find on this planet
- Protected sailing - the Exuma Bank is well-protected and you can often sail to windward in relative comfort
- Solitude - you can choose to anchor almost every night, all by yourself if you wish
- Great fishing potential - the Exuma Sound drop is literally just a stone's throw away in some places, where you can catch wahoo, mahi mahi, and tuna
- Sandbars - cocktails, lunch, and swimming, what else could you want?
- Logistics - it's close to the US mainland with many direct flights - you'll be on your yacht with a cocktail in time to catch an epic sunset
Highlights of an Exumas yacht charter
- Hike to Boo Boo Hill in the pristine Exuma Cays Land and Sea park for great 360 views
- Get your picture taken with the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, and then head next door to snorkel the famous Thunderball Grotto
- Grab a locally famous Peanut Colada at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club
- Catch deepwater pelagic fish just offshore in the Exuma Sound
- Ride the Sanctuary Creek mangrove river at Shroud Cay to the water slide and explore Camp Driftwood
- Pet the (usually) harmless nurse sharks at the Compass Cay Marina
