DISCOVER UNFORGETTABLE CRUISING DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE
The Exumas are one of the most extraordinary kitesurfing destinations in the Caribbean. Spread across more than 365 cays and islands, this remote region combines vast turquoise lagoons, shallow sandbanks, uncrowded flat-water spots and spectacular downwinders between the islands.
Many of the best riding locations are completely inaccessible from land and can only be reached by yacht. Our Exumas Kitesurf Cruise takes you directly to these remote spots, adapting the itinerary to the wind and weather conditions each day. With moderate trade winds, endless space and water colours that hardly look real, the Exumas offer an unforgettable adventure for independent kitesurfers—as well as non-kiting partners and families.
Flights, airport transfers, alcoholic drinks, restaurant visits, travel insurance, kite equipment rental and optional lessons or private coaching.
The locations below offer just a glimpse of the many kitesurfing spots we can reach during our Exumas Kite Cruise. Many of these remote lagoons, sandbanks and uninhabited cays are inaccessible from land and can only be explored by yacht. The exact itinerary is adapted to the wind, weather and riding level of the group.
These two islands are usually the first stop of our kitesurf and wingfoil cruise down into the Exumas. These two islands alone, are home of at least 3 world class Kite,- and wingfoil spots and the first possibility for beautiful 10 mile Downwinder.
Two kite- and wingspots 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!
The Mice is a labyrinth of small islands, lagoons, channels and sandbars. Navigation through those waters is tricky and usually everybody is on deck, helping to navigate the Yacht through this maze of islands and shallows. The reward are literally hundreds of out-of-this world Kite and Wingfoil spots. Entirely uncrowded. Most likely we´re the only ones there…
Stanley Cay, home to the famous Pig Beach, is a must-visit on our Exumas adventure. There’s also a fantastic kitesurfing and wingfoiling spot nearby, another Sandy Cay. In the evening, we’ll relax at the authentic Sailors Bar on Stanley Cay, enjoying rare shore time on our Kitesurf and Wingfoil Cruise.
Kitesurfing in the Exumas combines uncrowded flat-water lagoons, shallow turquoise sandbanks and spectacular downwinders between remote islands. The trade winds are generally moderate rather than exceptionally strong, making larger kites an important part of the typical setup. Depending on body weight and conditions, many riders use approximately 10–14 m kites.
To make the most of the different spots and downwinders, participants should be confident independent riders who can maintain their position and ride upwind safely. As a guideline, we recommend at least VDWS Level 5 or an equivalent ability.
The yachts on our kitesurf cruise are not just regular charter boats—they are tailored to the needs of kitesurfers. Every cabin comes with a private bathroom and shower for maximum comfort. In addition, there are plenty of chill-out spaces on board, offering room to relax between sessions.
Solar energy powers the yachts, and fresh drinking water is made on board to reduce plastic use. Everything on board is designed to support a comfortable and well-organised kitesurfing adventure.
There is no better way to experience the Exumas than by living and kitesurfing aboard a yacht. Shortly after leaving Nassau behind, the pace slows down and the outside world begins to feel very far away.
A typical day starts with a swim in crystal-clear water of around 26°C while the crew prepares breakfast. We then check the wind and conditions before heading out for the first kite session of the day—often in a remote lagoon, beside an empty sandbank or at a spot that can only be reached by boat.
Around midday, we return to the yacht for a meal and set sail towards the next anchorage. The journey itself is part of the experience, taking us through shallow turquoise waters and between uninhabited cays. Depending on the day, there may also be time to visit the famous swimming pigs, explore a deserted beach or take a short island hike.
If the wind allows, we finish the afternoon with another session or a downwinder to the next anchorage. As the sun sets, everyone gathers on deck for a sundowner, followed by a relaxed dinner beneath the open Caribbean sky.

Our Exumas kitesurf cruise begins on Nassau, the capital island of the Bahamas.
Direct flights from Europe are uncommon, so most guests arrive via Miami with a short connection to Nassau. From the airport, it’s best to take a taxi to the meeting point—about 40 minutes away.
You’ll meet our crew in the island’s northeast, where the boat is anchored in Fort Montague Bay. Pick-up takes place on the nearby beach, close to Fort Montague and Maxxis Bar.
Check-in on the yacht begins at 18:00, where we’ll welcome you on board with a drink and everything ready for the days ahead.
The meeting point and check-in will take place in the evening at Fort Montague, Nassau.
The next morning, we set sail for the Exumas, heading to Little Normans Cay. After a 6–7 hour crossing, we arrive in time for our first kitesurf session in the afternoon.
The short answer: bring less than you would for a typical beach vacation. For your kitesurf cruise, you’ll need good sunscreen, a hat, and ideally a Lycra shirt to protect yourself during long sessions in the sun.
A few boardshorts or bikinis, T-shirts, and flip-flops are more than enough. In the evening, it can get breezy, so a windbreaker or jumper is a smart addition.
If possible, bring natural shampoo and soap, as everything ends up in the ocean. A refillable water bottle is also a good idea. Finally, pack in soft, collapsible bags for easier storage—and don’t forget your passport.
