Explore the Bahamas
Why the Bahamas?
The Bahamas archipelago stretches 750 miles and encompasses more than 700 islands, cays, and islets. The water is impossibly blue, the weather reliably warm (77–85°F year-round), and the marine life extraordinary. It's just 50 miles from Florida — one of the most accessible sailing paradises in the world. These are the waters we call home.
The Exumas
The Exuma chain of 365 islands is the jewel of the Bahamas — and the heart of most of our charters. The water here is the kind of improbable turquoise that makes you wonder if you're dreaming. Highlights include:
- 🐷 Big Major's Spot — Home of the famous swimming pigs
- 🤿 Thunderball Grotto — A stunning underwater cave and snorkeling site
- 🌿 Exuma Land & Sea Park — 176 square miles of protected ocean
- 🐟 Stocking Island — Snorkeling, swimming holes, and breathtaking views
- 🦈 Compass Cay — Swim with nurse sharks (they're friendly!)
Nassau & New Providence
Nassau is our home — a vibrant, beautiful city that serves as the gateway to the Bahamian archipelago. It's the perfect starting point for any charter, with direct flights from 30+ US cities and a thriving waterfront scene.
New Providence island offers beautiful beaches, world-class dining, and easy access to the Berry Islands and Exumas. Nassau Harbour is one of the most iconic yacht anchorages in the world.
Eleuthera & Harbour Island
Long, narrow, and achingly beautiful — Eleuthera is a 110-mile island of wild beaches, sea glass–coloured water, and charming settlements. Harbour Island, off its north tip, is home to the famous pink sand beach — one of the most photographed beaches in the world.
Eleuthera is included in our Full Bahamas Odyssey charter and can be added to any custom itinerary. It's the kind of place people come back to year after year.
The Out Islands
Long Island, Cat Island, and the southern Bahamas are for those who want to go further — quieter, more remote, and utterly breathtaking. Here you can sail for hours without seeing another boat, anchor in a cay you have entirely to yourselves, and experience the Bahamas as it was before mass tourism.
The Out Islands are available on our 7-night Full Bahamas Odyssey charter. Not for everyone — but unforgettable for those who make the journey.
What You'll Encounter
The Bahamas is home to some of the most extraordinary marine life in the world. On any given charter, you might encounter all of the below.

Reef Fish
The Bahamas' reefs are home to parrotfish, angelfish, barracuda, lionfish, and hundreds more species.
