The spots mentioned here provide just a small preview of the many anchorages you can experience during a cruise through the Exumas. With over 365 cays, the possibilities are nearly endless.

We believe these selected places stand out. Their natural charm, peaceful settings, and unique character make them unforgettable stops along your journey.

These two islands often mark the beginning of our journey through the Exumas. Moreover, their surroundings are home to wide open bays and calm stretches—perfect for starting the adventure.

Two beautiful spots are waiting for us on those islands. One of them easy accessible and situated directly on our anchorage. The other one, – an upwind ride through a shallow Lagoon of about 20 minutes away. The Scenery will blow your mind!

Warderick Wells Cay is surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, untouched nature, and the protected landscapes of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. Enjoy a scenic hike with breathtaking panoramic views, peaceful beaches and unforgettable sunsets at anchor.

Nearby Sandy Cay feels like a tiny deserted island paradise, famous for its powdery white sand beach and shallow turquoise lagoon. It is the perfect spot to swim and relax or simply enjoy the incredible beauty, watercolors and tranquility of the Bahamas.

The Mice is a maze of small islands, shallow channels, and hidden lagoons. Because navigation is challenging, everyone often joins in on deck to help steer the yacht. The effort pays off with access to a surreal and remote island world—far from the usual routes and completely undisturbed.

Stanley Cay, known for its famous Pig Beach, is a highlight of our Exumas journey. You have the chance to swim with the pigs and hang out together at the beach. Not far from here lies Sandy Cay, a peaceful island perfect for exploring. Later, we enjoy the evening at the laid-back Sailors Bar—one of the few moments we spend on land with civilisation during the trip.

Sailing in the Exumas

Sailing in the Exumas is a little like sailing in a swimming pool. The water really never gets deeper than 5 Meters, absolutely no waves, Seasickness is not an issue and literally the entire area is one huge, beautiful anchorage.

Life in the Exumas

There’s no better way to begin your Exumas journey than by setting sail on a yacht. Just minutes after leaving the harbor, a sense of calm and freedom sets in.

 

Each day on board starts with a refreshing swim in warm, crystal-clear waters while the crew prepares breakfast.

 

Afterwards, we begin our day’s activities—whether that means relaxing on deck or exploring the surroundings.

 

Around noon, we set course for a new anchorage. While enjoying a light snack on board, you can visit the famous swimming pigs or go for a short island walk.

 

As the sun begins to set, we gather on deck for a sundowner drink, followed by a laid-back dinner in the peaceful evening breeze.

The Yachts

The yachts we use for our cruises are thoughtfully designed for comfort and sustainability. Each cabin features a private bathroom and shower, providing privacy and convenience throughout the journey.

Additionally, the yachts offer multiple chill-out areas where guests can unwind and take in the surroundings. Electricity is supplied by solar panels, and we produce our own drinking water on board to avoid plastic bottles. These are far from standard charter boats—they’re built with purpose and care for the experience we offer.

Got questions about the Exumas? We've got answers

The starting point of our Exumas trip is the island of Nassau, Bahamas.

Direct flights from Europe to Nassau are rare. Typically, you fly to Miami and then transfer to Nassau. Once at the airport, we recommend that you take a taxi for the last few meters to the meeting point. The journey takes about 40 minutes. Our team will be waiting for you at our in the north-east of the island. Here our boat will be anchored in the Fort Montague bay. We will pick you up at the beach close to the Fort Montague and close to Maxxis Bar. Check in on the boat with a welcome cocktail on our ship is from 18.00 on the day of your arrival. 

The Meeting point and check in on the boat will be at Fort Montague, Nassau, in the evening. The next morning we will set sail and head to the Exumas, Little Normans Cay. After a 6-7 hour sail, we will have our first activity after lunch.

The short answer would be – less than half of what you bring on a normal beach holiday. What you need is good sunscreen, ideally a hat and a Lycra shirt to protect you from the sun. You need a couple of Boardshorts / Bikinis, T-Shirts and FlipFlops. A windbreaker or a jumper for the evenings is a good idea. If you can, bring natural shampoo and soap, as it will all go into the ocean right away. A bottle to refill with drinking water is recommended. Please pack in soft, collapsible bags to allow easy storage. And don´t forget your passport.
