Natural Caribbean beauty meets next-level contentment in the unspoilt strip of 365 islands and cays that make up the Exumas. Sitting pretty in the off-the-beaten-track “Out Islands” of the Bahamas, this 120-mile-long archipelago is nothing short of amazing.

Cruising in Exumas

The exotic strip of deserted beaches and idyllic anchorages dispersed throughout the Exumas provide an optimal setting for a 5-Star yacht charter holiday. From the sparkling turquoise waters to the consistent trade winds and favorably-warm tropical climate, the Exumas boast desirable weather conditions all year long. Between November and March, the temperature ranges between 70-75F, with the occasional windy cold front passing through, but the rest of the year the average is around 80-85F. Navigation requires careful chart plotting and an eye on the GPS due to the shallow waters. On the passage of approximately 40 miles between Nassau and the island chain, you may experience heavier seas, making this destination more suitable for experienced sailors and boaters. For complete relaxation let one of our Skippers take the helm or enjoy our all-inclusive Crewed Yachts.
