Chartering in the Exuma, a Destination for Every Season
You can rent a yacht in the Exumas any month of the year, although many seek out the warm weather in the Exumas during the winter. December, January, and February are peak charter months, especially around Christmas and New Year’s. Yet, late spring and early summer too are also favorite times for an Exuma yacht charter.
The Exumas are blessed with amazing weather and ideal cruising conditions throughout the year. Across all seasons, temperatures remain in the mid-70s to mid-80s, with steady trade winds and mellow seas. Thanks to a moderate tidal range, just 3.5 feet, the waters of the Exumas are calm and typically hover around 80 degrees year-round.

Islands of the ExumasVisit the Swimming Pigs at Big Major
The world-famous swimming pigs that call the beaches of Big Major Cay home are world-famous. Any yacht charter to the Exumas wouldn’t be complete without a swim with these cuddly potbellies.
Snorkel the Thunderball Grotto
These underwater caves located near Staniel Cay were made famous by the James Bond film. Explore the vast cave network on an afternoon snorkel trip. The underwater caves are teeming with Angelfish and many other colorful species.
Swim with Nurse Sharks at Compass Cay
The private island of Compass Cay is home to a population of resident nurse sharks. Visit the cay and take a dip with the sharks. They’ll swim right up next to you, and you can even listen to their squeaks underwater. (Yes, they squeak!)
Visit Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park
This massive natural park is one of the best in the Bahamas, and it’s a must-visit outdoor playground on an Exumas charter. Snorkel, sea kayak, hike, and bike your way through the reefs, uninhabited islands, and trails of the park. The park offers the best snorkeling in all of the Exumas.
Snorkel the Sunken Plane at Norman’s Cay
Located just off the beach in Norman’s Cay, you’ll find a small single-engine plane, perfectly protected under the water. Snorkel, kayak or take a tender cruise to this must-see sight (which is believed to be a smuggling plane).
Feed the Iguanas at Allen’s Cay
The beach-dwelling iguanas of Allen’s Cay are a sight to see. Feed them by hand right at the water’s edge, and be sure to bring your camera!
Relax on Tropic of Cancer Beach
This hidden white-sand beach is located on Little Exuma and it’s hands-down one of the most gorgeous in the region. But another reason to visit: The Tropic of Cancer cuts a line right down the middle of it.
Try a Variety of Water Sports
The Exumas are known for their strikingly aquamarine waters, and on your crewed yacht charter, you’ll want to spend as much time in these inviting waters as possible. Sea kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving, jet-skiing, and windsurfing are all favorite Exumas pastimes.
Sailing from Nassau to Exuma
The 365 islands of the Exumas extend south for nearly 100 miles, yet, the most northern islands are just a short 3-to 4-hour sail from Nassau Harbour. For many, sailing from Nassau to Exuma is the ultimate luxury adventure.
Nassau to Exuma yacht charters allow guests to see all of the incredible sights throughout the region – from Thunderball Grotto (made famous in James Bond) to the stunning beaches of Shroud Cay. You choose what you’d like to see and do: Plan snorkeling excursions, explore sapphire lagoons on paddleboards, swim, and play in the Exumas’ legendary warm waters. There is so much to do and see. Plus, you’ll be cruising in supreme comfort, with chef-prepared meals and five-star service.
Design a Nassau to Exuma itinerary that lets you see and do it all. We offer a range of options: From 7-day Nassau to Great Exuma charters, to Nassau-to-Nassau trips in the Exumas. A range of luxury yachts are available for hire from Nassau.
Boat Charter from Nassau to Exuma
Most yacht charters in the Exumas start and end in Nassau. Nassau provides easy access to US and European clients with daily international flights. While Nassau is a great destination on its own, you will most likely choose to head straight for the Exumas upon arriving on your boat. It takes 3-4 hours to reach the first islands of the Exuma island chain.
