The Sailing Capital of the Bahamas
Sheltered waters, charming colonial-style towns, and plenty of calm anchorages make this region perfect for families looking for easy cruising and a smooth, stress-free holiday.
Postcard-worthy Beauty
This chain of islands is pure magic, with sandbars stretching for miles, anchorages that feel completely untouched, and exciting long passages. It’s relaxed, barefoot sailing at its best.
Sail through the pristine waters of the Exumas or the Abacos, where every day brings a new adventure—swim with friendly nurse sharks and famous pigs, wander untouched beaches and hidden coves, or snorkel in some of the clearest seas on earth – the options are endless!
With more than 700 islands and 2,000 cays to explore, the Bahamas is a sailor’s playground. From lively Nassau to the untouched beauty of the Exumas, every day brings a new anchorage, a new beach, and a new adventure—all at your own pace.
The Bahamas is home to some of the clearest water in the world, with visibility up to 200 feet. Drop anchor in dazzling turquoise bays, snorkel colorful reefs straight from your dinghy, or simply soak up the views as you sail across endless blue horizons.
Where else can you swim with pigs at Big Major Cay, feed friendly rays in Compass Cay, or spot nurse sharks circling in the shallows? On a bareboat charter, you choose the stops, making each wildlife encounter a memory of your own making.
Sailing the Bahamas is all about balance—steer your yacht into lively marinas for a night out, then wake up anchored off a quiet sandbar with nothing but sea and sky. It’s barefoot cruising with all the freedom to design your perfect route.
