DISCOVER UNFORGETTABLE CRUISING DESTINATIONS WORLDWIDE
The Bahamas and Exumas, once home to legendary pirates, are now a dream destination for wingfoilers. Their adventurous past has given way to a new kind of freedom on the water.
In addition, with crystal-clear waters, steady trade winds, and soft white sand beaches, the conditions are ideal for all levels. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, you’ll find the perfect spot to ride.
As a result, our Wingfoil Cruise in the Exumas is a must. It takes you through a stunning chain of over 365 unspoiled cays and islands, each offering unique terrain and endless space to explore.
Finally, even those who don’t wingfoil will enjoy the journey. From tranquil anchorages to vibrant marine life, this trip offers something unforgettable for everyone on board.
The spots listed here are just a glimpse of the many anchorages available during our Wingfoil Cruise in the Exumas. They represent only a small selection of what this island chain truly has to offer.
That said, we believe these particular locations are ones you simply shouldn’t miss. Each offers a unique mix of ideal riding conditions and stunning natural beauty—making them essential highlights of your wingfoil adventure.
These two islands are usually the first stop of our wingfoil cruise into the Exumas. In fact, they already offer at least three world-class wingfoil spots and the first chance for a beautiful 10-mile downwinder.
Two wingfoil spots are waiting for us on these islands. One is easily accessible and located right at our anchorage. In contrast, the second requires a 20-minute upwind ride through a shallow lagoon. The scenery along the way is truly breathtaking.
The Mice is a labyrinth of small islands, lagoons, channels, and sandbars. Navigating through these waters can be tricky, so everyone is usually on deck, helping guide the yacht. In return, we’re rewarded with hundreds of untouched kite and wingfoil spots. Completely uncrowded. Most likely, we’re the only ones out there.
Stanley Cay, home to the famous Pig Beach, is a must-visit on our Exumas wingfoil cruise. Additionally, there’s a great wingfoil spot nearby at Sandy Cay. In the evening, we wind down at the authentic Sailors Bar, enjoying some rare and well-earned shore time.
The yacht used for our wingfoil cruise is built specifically for this purpose. Each cabin includes a private bathroom and shower to ensure comfort throughout the trip. Moreover, the yacht features several chill-out areas where guests can relax and enjoy the view. Electricity is generated by solar panels, and we produce our own drinking water to avoid plastic waste. This is not just a regular charter boat—it’s designed entirely around the needs of wingfoilers.
To us, this might be the best wingfoil location we know. Wingfoiling in the Exumas means gliding above crystal-clear water, weaving between the islands. In addition, the flat conditions make it ideal for wingfoilers of all skill levels. The wind is usually moderate, so we recommend wing sizes between 4 and 5.5 meters. To sum it up: if you love downwinders, this part of the cruise is a must.
There’s no better way to start your Exumas holidays than by setting sail aboard a yacht. Just minutes after leaving the harbor, you’ll feel deep relaxation and tranquility.
A typical day on our Wingfoil Cruise in the Bahamas begins with a swim in the crystal-clear, 26-degree water at our anchorage while the crew prepares breakfast.
Next, after breakfast, we dive into our first activity session of the day.
At noon, we set sail to our next anchorage, enjoying a snack on board as we go. You can swim with the pigs or explore the nearby islands on a hike.
Finally, as the sun sets, we gather on deck for a refreshing sundowner drink, followed by a delicious dinner on board.
You do have more questions about our cruises in the Exumas and throughout the Caribbean? We’ve got all the answers for you in our comprehensive FAQ section.
The starting point of our Exumas wingfoil cruise is the island of Nassau, Bahamas.
Since direct flights from Europe to Nassau are rare, most travelers fly to Miami and transfer from there. Once you land in Nassau, we recommend taking a taxi to the meeting point, which takes about 40 minutes.
Our team will be waiting for you in the northeast of the island, where the yacht is anchored in Fort Montague Bay. We’ll pick you up right on the beach, near Fort Montague and Maxxis Bar.
Check-in on board starts at 18:00 and includes a welcome cocktail to kick off your wingfoil adventure.
Check-in for the wingfoil cruise takes place in the evening at Fort Montague, Nassau.
The following morning, we sail toward the Exumas, with Little Normans Cay as our first destination. After 6 to 7 hours at sea, we arrive and get ready for our first wingfoil session later that afternoon.
The short answer: pack less than half of what you’d bring on a regular beach holiday. For your wingfoil cruise, all you really need is high-quality sunscreen, a hat, and a Lycra shirt for sun protection.
Add a few boardshorts or bikinis, some T-shirts, and flip-flops. In the evenings, a windbreaker or jumper is useful. If possible, bring biodegradable shampoo and soap, as everything goes straight into the ocean.
Also, a refillable water bottle is highly recommended. Most importantly, pack in soft, collapsible bags for easy storage—and don’t forget your passport.
