Overview

Why charter a superyacht in Bahamas?

The Bahamas offer some of the most spectacular superyacht cruising in the world. Over 700 islands and 2,400 cays are scattered across crystal-clear turquoise waters that range from deep ocean blue to the famous shallow banks where you can see the sandy bottom at 20 feet.

The Exuma Cays, a 120-mile chain of mostly uninhabited islands, are the crown jewel of Bahamas yachting. From the famous swimming pigs of Big Major Cay to the exclusive Musha Cay, Thunderball Grotto, and the nurse sharks of Compass Cay, every anchorage brings a new adventure.
