7-Night Bahamas Exumas Yacht Charter Itinerary

Day 1 - Highborne Cay

Commence your charter in a charming beach village on Nassau's eastern shores, allowing a few days of relaxation around a pool before setting sail. While the Bahamas boasts over 300 islands, your Boatbookings brokers ensure that the Exumas offer the best yachting experience. Explore the Exumas for wildlife encounters, including swimming pigs, wild iguanas, and the iconic Thunderball Grotto, featured in James Bond movies.

Day 2 - Allen Cay

Embark on a long but rewarding sailing day covering over 40 nautical miles, approximately a 7-hour journey. Traverse the bluest waters as you approach the Exuma islands, with Highborne Cay serving as your first overnight stop—the gateway to the Exumas.

Day 3 - Hawksbill Cay

Visit the uninhabited beaches of Hawksbill Cay within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea National Park. Enjoy a tranquil evening surrounded by mooring balls, as anchoring is not permitted, creating an idyllic spot for relaxation.

Day 4 - Waderick Wells Cay

Explore one of the most sheltered cays in the Exumas, Waderick Wells Cay, a National Park offering optimal conditions for kayaking, snorkeling, and island hikes. Witness the unique dead whale construction and stroll along the deserted beaches, as the bay provides shelter from the wind.

Day 5 - Staniel Cay and Pig Beach

Sail to Staniel Cay for a sheltered yachting paradise experience, anchoring amongst other catamarans. Visit Staniel Cay Yacht Club, explore the island, and take your dinghy to Pig Beach, where the swimming pigs eagerly greet visitors. Snorkel at Thunderball Grotto, a filming location for James Bond, before sailing to Norman's Cay.

Day 6 - Norman's Cay

Before heading to Norman's Cay, snorkel at Thunderball Grotto during low tide. Enjoy dinner at Mcduffs at Norman's Cay, snorkel with nurse sharks, and spend time on your own private island for lunch.

Day 7 - Nassau

Embark on an early sail back to Nassau, considering a stop at Rose Island if time allows. Return to Palm Cay Marina by 6 PM to disembark the following morning. Extend your stay with a few more nights in a private beach villa, relishing the memories of a memorable yacht charter in the Bahamas.
