- In the spotlight: the Exumas -

Are you looking to get away from everything to enjoy a string of islands surrounded by emerald water so clear you can see conch tracks on the sand 10' below the surface? Islands so close together that you spend very little time under way and most of time enjoying incredible anchorages, beaches and sandbars... Then a week in the Exumas is what you are looking for!

Located in the central Bahamas, the Exumas include hundreds of islands and cays just 30 miles from Nassau and its international airport with numerous daily flights from the East Coast. Once you leave Nassau on the Exuma Bank you enter the perfect cruising grounds for private yachts, with no major airport, no cruise ships and no big developments. Our crew is very familiar and experienced with the Exumas and will take you not only to well known spots like Staniel Cay and the Thunderball grotto but to less known cays where you will have the most incredible beach to yourself.

If you are looking for the ultimate vacation experience, it doens't get better than the Exumas!
