day 1

Nassau - Highborne Cay

duration

3h 15m

distance

39nm

Join your yacht in Nassau and depart immediately for Highborne Cay, a privately owned cay known as the gateway to the Exuma Cays. The Cay has luxury cottages and no less than eight postcard-pretty beaches. Despite being only three miles long, there are many opportunities for adventure on land and at sea. Beach activities tend to be the order of the day, with snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, and fishing topping the charts. Those with diving experience can explore the nearby shipwreck of an unknown ship thought to have been built about five hundred years ago.

day 2

Highborne Cay - Shroud Cay

duration

55m

distance

10nm

In the Exuma National Park, you will find the pink sands and velvet green mangroves that make up Shroud Cay. Part of the Exuma Land and Sea Park, Shroud Cay is all about putting mother nature on a pedestal and for good reason. Gone are the crowds and the whirr of motorized boats and in its place is simply the silence of water lapping against the shore, the scuttle of lizards, sleeping turtles, and the cry of wild birds. This wetland delight offers a labyrinth of creeks to explore on the kayak, not to mention sublime snorkelling in the clear blue shallows. Whether a nature lover, fantasy island escapist, or charter guest wanting to delve deeper into the wilder delights of the Bahamas, Shroud Cay offers you the chance to see the land and sea completely untouched by human hands.

day 3

Shroud Cay - Big Major Cay

duration

2h 30m

distance

30nm

Big Major Cay is a major attraction in the Bahamas and is home to a wild pig colony. Despite being wild, the pigs are known to be friendly, and splashing and swimming with them is possible. Nothing will spark a smile more than swimming alongside a group of squealing pink pigs against the blissful warm backdrop of azure hues and sparkling white sands. It’s not just pigs on offer from Big Major Cay; the island is also home to nurse sharks, iguanas, tropical sand bars, and the nearby Staniel Cay, which is where you can find Thunderball Grotto – made famous by the filming of two of the James Bond Movies. Divers and snorkelers will surely delight in a day at Big Major Cay as the waters teem with life.

day 4

Big Major Cay - Staniel Cay

duration

10m

distance

2nm

The Staniel Cay Yacht Club invites you to immerse all your senses in the beauty of the Bahamas. Sitting in the sweet south of the Bahamas where blue skies meld with blue seas, it is no surprise that this corner of the world tempts sailors and beach lovers. Littered with white sands, you can sprawl in turquoise surroundings or for more active adventurers, there is snorkelling, scuba diving, and plenty of opportunity to fish and kayak around the coast.

Here you will find another opportunity to visit the famous swimming pigs. After all that fun in the sun, the island’s restaurant and bar scene entices with chilled wines or frosty beers and beautiful cuisine to accompany that dramatic Caribbean sunset.

day 5

Staniel Cay - Warderick Wells

duration

1h 25m

distance

17nm

The beating heart of the Exuma Land and Sea Park, Warderick Wells is a protected area with few facilities but many incredible anchorage spots. This glorious stretch captures the true essence of what sailing in the Caribbean is all about. You will know you have arrived thanks to the 50ft skeleton of a sperm whale marking the entrance.

On the land you have many incredible walks leading through the decadent flora and fauna, and the chance to see Stromatolites (one of the rarest life forms on earth). For those who love to snorkel and dive, you can admire flourishing coral gardens and the brightest shoals of fish.

day 6

Warderick Wells - Compass Cay

duration

55m

distance

10nm

Compass Cay is a slice of paradise in the Bahamas, known for its natural beauty and laid-back island life. It’s a perfect destination for those looking to experience the more serene and untouched aspects of the Bahamas, with plenty of opportunities for adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature.

Visit the marina, where you will have the unique opportunity to swim with nurse sharks. These sharks are generally docile and accustomed to human interaction, making it a thrilling yet safe experience.

day 7

Compass Cay - Hawksbill Cay

duration

2h 5m

distance

24nm

At the northern end of the Exuma Land and Sea Park, Hawksbill Cay is a gorgeous uninhabited island boasting some of the best loyalist ruins in the whole of the Bahamas. A vision of limestone cliffs, shallow silver sandbars, azure waters, and towering palms. Captains love to drop anchor here thanks to the pleasant trade winds, warm air and water temperatures and the consistency of conditions.

For history lovers, it is well worth exploring the nature-tangled walls of the former loyalist settlement that date back to the 18th century when loyalists to the English crown came and settled on the island.

day 8

Hawksbill Cay - Nassau

duration

4h 20m

distance

This yacht charter playground has something for everyone – gorgeous golf courses, endless beaches, cosmopolitan restaurants, lavish luxury resorts, and a full schedule of activities, from swimming with turtles to scuba excursions, shopping, fishing, and so much more.
