There is a reason why you will find the Exumas at the top of every list of best destinations in the Bahamas. Comprising over 365 cays and islands, the Exumas offer a diverse and picturesque cruising ground.

Known for their pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, these islands provide an ideal setting for yachting enthusiasts.

Eleuthera Island, located about 50nm east of Nassau, ranks high on the list of premier charter destinations in the Bahamas. It offers a range of unique attractions for yacht charterers.

Renowned for its pristine pink sand beaches, particularly on the eastern Atlantic side, Eleuthera offers some of the most visually striking coastlines in the region. (The unique pink color is attributed to the presence of foraminifera shells mixed with the sand.)

Off Eleuthera’s Northern shores, the shallow waters give way to steep drop-offs, with depths of over 3000 meters, where you will find the really big fish such as the Marlins.

It is on this exact island that the world’s largest Marlin was caught in 1993. If you plan to do a luxury fishing yacht charter, this is a must-visit destination.

The Berry Islands, situated to the northwest of Nassau between the Great Bahama Bank to the west and the Tongue of the Ocean to the east.

Paradise Island, connected by two bridges to Nassau, complements the experience with upscale resorts, such as the famous Atlantis Hotel, and other high-end luxury attractions that make it stand out as one of the most extravagant destinations in the world.

This is the ideal place to both start and end a luxury yacht charter in the Bahamas.

The Abaco Islands stretch over 120 miles and include Great Abaco and Little Abaco as the main islands. But the archipelago also encompasses numerous smaller cays and islets, each offering its own unique character.

The allure of Treasure Cay Beach, consistently ranked among the world’s best beaches, coupled with Abaco National Park‘s natural beauty, makes this the perfect destination for any sun-seeker or nature enthusiast.
