Since 2003 · 6,000+ sailors accompanied · Advice 7d/wk

Endless sandbars, water so clear the boat seems to float in the air, uninhabited cays and swimming pigs: the Bahamas offer one of the most spectacular catamaran cruises in the world. With their shallow draft, catamarans are the perfect boats to explore the Exumas and the Abacos, where many anchorages are inaccessible to monohulls.

The catamaran advantage

With little draft, a catamaran reaches the shallow turquoise anchorages that make the Bahamas famous.

Exuma Land and Sea Park

A marine park of over 400 km² where fishing is forbidden: sharks, rays, turtles and pristine reefs.

The swimming pigs

At Big Major Cay, the famous pigs swim out to greet the dinghies, a unique experience.

Thunderball Grotto

Snorkel inside the cave made famous by James Bond, lit by rays of sunlight.

Two very different areas

The wild Exumas from Nassau, or the charming villages of the Abacos from Marsh Harbour.

Close to North America

Direct flights from many US and European hubs to Nassau and Marsh Harbour.

Your one-week itinerary in the Exumas

Nassau & the crossing
Boarding at Nassau, provisioning, then a crossing of the Yellow Bank to the northern Exumas with good light to spot the coral heads.
Allan's Cay & Highbourne Cay
Meet the endemic rock iguanas of Allan's Cay, then a quiet night in a protected anchorage.
Shroud Cay
Explore the mangrove creeks by dinghy to the Atlantic side and drink from Camp Driftwood's legendary view.
Warderick Wells
Headquarters of the Exuma Land and Sea Park: moorings, hiking to Boo Boo Hill and snorkelling in protected waters.
Compass Cay
Swim with friendly nurse sharks at the marina, then relax on the long empty beaches of the cay.
Staniel Cay & Big Major
The swimming pigs, Thunderball Grotto and the yacht club for a well-deserved dinner.
Sandbars & return
Anchor on immaculate sandbars at low tide, then sail back north towards Nassau.
Abacos alternative
From Marsh Harbour, sail the Sea of Abaco between Hope Town and its lighthouse, Great Guana Cay and Green Turtle Cay.

Of course. Tell us when you would like to travel, your budget and what you enjoy. We will help you choose a destination and departure base that suit your crew.

Do I need sailing experience to charter a catamaran?

You can book a professional skipper to handle navigation and the boat. For a bareboat charter, the charter company checks your sailing experience and any qualifications required for your destination.

What will I receive after my enquiry?

A personalised selection of boats based on availability, your dates and your budget. We help you compare the charter price, equipment, mandatory extras and optional services before you decide.
