North Sail Rocks might be one of my favorite secluded anchorages in all of the Exuma Bahamas. Find out why!

Hands down, this might be my favorite Exuma anchorage. I love it because of how remote it feels (shh! don’t tell anyone).
It’s definitely off the beaten path and usually avoided by most yacht charter trips. Best accessed from the Exuma Sound, consult Active Captain community for details on the approach.
I like North Sail Rocks as a good option as a first or last night before a return to the charter base in Nassau.
You can anchor in ~10 feet and are very well protected from easterly trades.

What to do at North Sail Rocks
When we last visited, we had one of our best days of fishing on the drop just a couple hundred feet offshore. This included landing my first wahoo of the Bahamas.
The whole area is interesting to explore by dinghy or stand-up paddleboard.
Spearfishing is also excellent on the reef that runs through the middle of the anchorage. Swim to it directly from your yacht.
