Bahamas

Seven hundred islands, water you can see your shadow in, and the easiest world-class charter in the Atlantic.

The Bahamas is the most reliable Caribbean charter in the Atlantic — 700 islands across 100,000 square miles of shallow turquoise water, an hour's flight from Miami, and a charter season that runs almost year-round. The Exumas, the Abacos, Eleuthera, Harbour Island. Empty cays, blue holes, swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, pink sand at Pink Sands Beach.

Cruise the Exuma chain from Nassau to Highbourne Cay, dive Thunderball Grotto from a tender, anchor for the night off Compass Cay where the resident nurse sharks come to the dock at dusk. Day two: north to Norman's Cay for the wreck swim, lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Day three: the swimming pigs at Big Major. By day, it's electric blue and empty horizons. By night, it's Fish Fry at Arawak Cay, conch fritters and the slowest sundown in the Atlantic.

This is the Caribbean at its most effortless.

Why charter here

  • Cruise the Exuma chain from Nassau to the Iguana Cays
  • Swim with the pigs at Big Major and the sharks at Compass
  • Anchor at Norman’s Cay for the wreck dive
  • Eleuthera, Harbour Island and Spanish Wells for old-Bahamas charm
  • Year-round season — December to April is peak, summer is hurricane shoulder
  • Easy onward from Miami (45 minutes by air to Nassau)
