Exumas Sailing Itinerary
An Exumas charter itinerary is as delightful as it is diverse. The chain of 365 islands and cays provides an unmatched cruising wonderland that will enchant Bahamas newcomers and globe-trotting travelers of all kinds. Charters begin with a southbound journey along the west coast of the Exuma Cays, where you’re free to sail among the easy-to-navigate strip of secluded harbors and lavish ports nestled throughout the clear-blue nautical wilderness. In between anchorages, you’ll discover deserted beaches and quaint seaside bars that truly capture the essence of vacation, on island time.
Exumas 7 Day Itinerary
Day 1
Highborne Cay
Not too far off the eastern coast of the main port of Nassau lies the little Bahamian hideaway of Rose Island. This 11-mile-long piece of boater’s paradise boasts snorkeling conditions, secluded coves, and four beaches—First Beach, MacTaggart’s Beach, Footprints Beach, and Sandy Toes, which serves up a vibrant party scene on Sundays at the seaside bar and grill. But for those who prefer something more low-key, like palm trees swaying in the wind and the peaceful sounds of waves crashing on the shore, there is a grove of hammocks on the hilltop at Sandy Toes Beach. Spend your final night on board in the serene anchorage located on the northern side of the island. Bask in the breathtaking views as you reminisce about your unforgettable Exumas vacation and take in one more radiant Bahamas sunset.
