Yacht charter Bahamas

Destination

Bahamas

Bahamas · Caribbean

The Bahamas are famous for extremely shallow, crystal-clear water and the Exuma Cays — over 365 small islands ideal for catamaran exploration.

The Exuma Cays

With over 365 small islands and sandbars, the Exuma archipelago is the heart of any Bahamas charter. The swimming pigs of Big Major Cay and the Thunderball Grotto, famous from the James Bond films, are among the highlights.

Ideal for Catamarans

The shallow draft needed to explore the Exumas makes catamarans the boat of choice here, able to access tight anchorages and shallow lagoons unreachable by deeper-keeled monohulls.
