Day 1

All Aboard in Nassau

You’ll embark from Nassau, and before your feet even hit the dock, your private crew is there to greet you. Your yacht is gleaming, stocked with your preferred libations, and ready to whisk you into the Exumas.

Spend the first afternoon docked at the legendary Atlantis Marina. Stroll through lush gardens, float down the mile-long lazy river, or pop into the casino for a pre-vacation lucky streak.

That night, you’ll toast to the trip ahead with a sunset dinner on the aft deck. The city lights twinkle. The sea is glass. The dream begins.

Allen Cay & Highbourne Cay

Wake up to the smell of fresh-brewed coffee and the warm brush of the Caribbean breeze against your skin. First stop: Allen Cay, home to Exuma’s friendliest residents—giant rock iguanas who casually saunter down the beach for snacks (fruit is their love language).

Later, we head to Highbourne Cay, a privately owned island with jaw-dropping beaches and reef-lined snorkeling just off the dock. Wander the trails, watch nurse sharks glide under the marina, or pick up a loaf of freshly baked Bahamian bread before another perfect sunset dinner aboard.

Pigs, Grottos & Staniel Cay Vibes

It’s an all-star day in the Exumas. First up: Big Majors, where the iconic swimming pigs come out to greet you—yes, they really swim. Yes, it’s really adorable.

Next, dive into Thunderball Grotto, an otherworldly snorkel spot made famous by James Bond but beloved for its glowing light shafts and swirling marine life.

We anchor near Staniel Cay for the night. Explore the island by golf cart, grab a cocktail at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club, and soak in the island energy. The vibe? Casual, colorful, unforgettable.

Compass Cay & a Little Island Magic

Time to lean into the castaway fantasy. Today we cruise to Compass Cay, where the beaches are untouched, the lagoons are bluer than blue, and yes—you can swim with the sharks. (Don’t worry, they’re the chill kind.)

If the weather’s just right, your crew will take you to Rachel’s Bubble Bath—a secret tidal pool fed by crashing waves that create a natural fizzy soak. Bring a cocktail and thank us later.

Shroud Cay – Private Beach Vibes Only

This one’s for the soul. Paddle or kayak through Shroud Cay’s mangrove rivers, where the water is shallow, clear, and teeming with baby sharks, turtles, and serenity.

The crew sets up a private beach picnic just for you. Picture: grilled lobster, chilled rosé, feet in the sand, and zero cell service (on purpose).

Before sundown, stop by Hawksbill Cay to wander crescent-shaped beaches that look like something off a screensaver. Except it’s real. And it’s all yours.

Warderick Wells – Wild & Wonderful

This is the heart of the Exuma Land & Sea Park, a protected marine sanctuary where the snorkeling is next-level. Expect neon coral, clouds of tropical fish, and maybe a curious barracuda or two.

On land, hike up Boo Boo Hill and leave your mark (literally—everyone leaves a driftwood sign). On the way back, stop to marvel at the massive skeleton of a 53-foot sperm whale sun-bleached along the shore.

This island reminds you that nature knows how to put on a show.

Norman’s Cay – Wreck Dives & Pirate Vibes

This island has a past—and that’s part of its charm. Back in the day, Norman’s Cay was a drug-smuggling stronghold (Google it later). Today, it’s best known for the sunken DC-3 plane, which is now one of the coolest snorkel spots in the Bahamas.

Explore shallow inner lagoons, peek inside Cocaine Cave, and drift through the quiet magic of this rugged island. Tonight’s dinner? One last celebration of everything that makes this trip unforgettable.

Return to Nassau

Cruise back to Nassau with the breeze in your hair and salt on your skin. If time allows, pop into the Straw Market for some handmade souvenirs, take a slide down the Leap of Faith, or explore the Pirates of Nassau Museum for a final touch of island lore.

You came for adventure. You’re leaving with so much more.
