Day 1 - Nassau to Shroud Cay

Bahamas Yacht Charter

Begin your first day in paradise in Nassau, both a tropical utopia and the bustling metropolitan capital of the Bahamas. On the eastern shore, discover some of the world’s most stunning beaches, complete with powdery white sand encircled by crystal clear, turquoise waters. It's time to get into the water and discover the full arsenal available on your motor yacht, whether you fancy wakeboarding, paddle boarding or using your Seabobs. Once you have reached Shroud Cay, your meal is prepared by your attentive chef, served on deck for a delectable dining experience while you enjoy the gorgeous glow of the sunset from the comfort of your yacht. Get ready for your first sunset in the Exumas.


Day 2 - Shroud Cay & Norman's Cay

Gorge yourself on a delightful breakfast as your Bahamas crewed motor yacht cruises into the notorious Norman’s Cay. Once a drug smuggler’s hotspot, Norman’s Cay has transformed into a sleepy resort with miles of tranquil, paradisiacal beaches. Stop off and snorkel at the enchanting sunken smuggler’s plane wreck before heading to MacDuff’s, the only restaurant and bar on the island, for a bite to eat and a refreshing beverage. Shroud Cay is at the northernmost end of this Exuma island chain, and is home to rare tropic birds nesting in the fauna of the island – a great spot for those who love to watch the wildlife.

Day 3 - Pig Beach & Thunderball Cave

Pig Beach Bahamas

Journeying to the islet of Big Major Cay, today is the chance to visit the famed Pig Beach and swim with the animals! The pigs are the Exumas main attraction and famous for  swimming in the shallow waters up to your boat in search for food. If you have some supplies then feed them vegetables or pitted fruit! Don’t miss the chance to swim with the nurse sharks here too – they are surprisingly placid and it is an amazing experience! If this isn’t for you, see if you can swim with the turtles at Little Farmer’s Cay.

Venture onto Thunderball Cave; a must-see for James Bond fans as Thunderball and Never Say Never featured this famous cave, which is also perfect for snorkelling! After a busy day, relax on your yacht, sipping some refreshing sundowners. This is the quintessential Bahamas crewed motor yacht day! 


Day 4 - Staniel Cay

Bahamas Yacht Charter

Follow your Bahamas yacht Captain to Staniel Cay where you can plunge into an underwater utopia, heaving with vibrant, tropical fish and adorned with kaleidoscopic coral. Staniel Cay is at the heart of the Exumas and a real charter favourite, so spend some quality time with your friends and family.

Spend the afternoon sipping on rum punch and taking advantage of the water toys or soaking up the sun on the beach. When night falls, make your way to Kermit’s Hilltop Restaurant and Tavern for unrivalled views, live music and dancing through the night! The Staniel Cay Yacht Club is a perfect place to rent a golf cart and go exploring! Get involved in one of the many activities on offer such as bonefishing tournaments, deep-sea fishing or go see the spectacular New Year’s Regatta.

Day 5 - Allen Cay & Iguana Beach

Staniel Cay,Bahamas - Luxury Yacht Charter

After a morning enjoying paddle board yoga on your Bahamas crewed motor yacht, cruise to Allen Cay where the renowned Iguana Beach is located. Like the pigs, these iguanas are keen to be fed – just make sure you use a stick if you wish to feed them grapes or small fruits in order to avoid a nip on the hand. Explore the island and bronze yourself on the beach before heading back to the yacht for the evening.


Day 6 - Exuma Park

On day 6 you will continue onto the famous Exuma National Park, known for its outstanding natural beauty and pristine surrounding waters. Famous for its conservation efforts, this is the perfect place to go exploring and using the water toys on board! Witness in the breath-taking marine life or kayak through the water for an afternoon full of fun. Settle down on the deck of your yacht for a laid-back evening doing as you please.

With clear skies, do some stargazing from the privacy of your yacht for a magical end to the day.
