The Exumas Explorer
9 days · 8 nights · George Town to Nassau · Fully crewed private catamaran
The Classic Exumas Run
This sample itinerary traces the legendary Exumas chain — 365 cays stretching 90 miles through some of the clearest water on earth. You'll start in George Town (Exuma's vibrant main hub), sail north through a string of jaw-dropping anchorages, and make the beautiful passage back to Nassau on Day 8.
Every day is shaped by tides, weather, and what you feel like doing. This itinerary is a starting point, not a contract — your captain adapts it in real time to give you the best experience possible. Some highlights are tide-dependent (noted below), which is part of what makes sailing the Bahamas a genuine adventure.

Your Journey
Arrive & Explore George Town
Board the boat, stock up on provisions, and find your sea legs. A relaxed afternoon to explore one of the liveliest and most beautiful towns in the Bahamas.
First Sail North — Truck Wreck & Blow Hole
Your first proper sailing day. Head north and drop into your first snorkel of the trip — a sunken truck that's become a stunning living reef, surrounded by fish.
Sandbars, Caves & The Musician
A day of tide-dependent wonders. Two world-class snorkel sites and some of the most jaw-dropping sandbars in the Bahamas — all on the same day.
Swimming Pigs, Thunderball Grotto & Sharks
The crown jewel of the Exumas. This is the day most guests dream about — three bucket-list experiences in one glorious afternoon, topped off with dinner at one of the most storied yacht clubs in the islands.
The Marine Park & Boo Boo Hill Sunset
Enter the Exuma Land and Sea Park — one of the first marine protected areas in the world. Because fishing is prohibited, the reefs here are extraordinary. Finish the day with a Bahamian sailing ritual.
Mangrove Creek & The Washing Machine
One of the most unique anchorages in the Bahamas — a wild, completely uninhabited island with an extraordinary tidal creek you can float through, and a natural tidal feature that literally spins you around.
Wild Cards & Hidden Gems
Every Bahamas itinerary builds in a free day — for weather, for doing more of yesterday, or for something completely unexpected. A few nearby wild cards, depending on where you're anchored:
The Final Sail — Back to Nassau
An early start for the longest sail of the trip — a beautiful 6–8 hour ocean passage back to Nassau. Arrive in the afternoon, freshen up, and head ashore for one last dinner in the city.
Until Next Time
Disembark at 10am. Your captain can arrange airport transfers on request. And somewhere over the Atlantic on the way home, you'll already be planning the next one.
