Chartering The Bahamas

With more than 700 islands and cays, the Bahamas is a paradise of crystal-clear waters, endless sandbars, and postcard-perfect anchorages. A yacht charter here feels like sailing through a tropical dream—whether you’re swimming with turtles, exploring hidden beaches, or sipping cocktails at a beach club.

Charters Destinations in The Bahamas

Exumas

The most popular cruising ground in the Bahamas, the Exumas are famous for their turquoise shallows, swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, nurse sharks at Compass Cay, and sandbars that stretch for miles. The islands are relatively close together, making it easy to hop from one breathtaking anchorage to the next.

Abacos

Known as the “boating capital of the Bahamas,” the Abacos offer charming settlements, colonial-style architecture, and calm, protected waters. Great Guana Cay and Elbow Cay are favorites for their laid-back vibe and beautiful beaches.

Nassau & Paradise Island

Often the starting point for charters, Nassau offers luxury resorts, nightlife, and convenient flight connections. Spend a night here before heading into the islands, or combine a few days in town with a week of cruising.
