Known as “The Fish Bowl of the Bahamas”
Berry Islands: A cluster of 30 stunning isles
The Berry Islands, a cluster of 30 stunning isles and nearly 100 cays, are a hidden treasure, famously known as the "Billfish Capital." A yacht charter here is a dream come true, especially for fishing enthusiasts. With your fishing and scuba diving gear ready, this island chain promises endless underwater adventure and spectacular land tours that should not be missed.
Just 60 km north of Nassau, the Berry Islands are a common stop for cruises and attract visitors from nearby areas like North Andros and Biminis. Despite their proximity, these islands maintain a peaceful charm, with only 700 residents.
For a touch of local life, Bullock’s Harbour in Great Harbour Cay is the central hub of the Berry Islands. Dock your superyacht here to enjoy a blend of convenience and leisure. If you’re into golf, there’s an 18-hole championship golf course by Joe Lee nearby. To peek into Berry Islands’ history, visit St. Bartholomew Anglican Church. This is the first church established in 1850 and is still being used up to this day. Afterwards, stop in Great Harbour Cay Marina, a perfect place to start your fishing voyage.
Speaking of fishing, Chub Cay, located on the southernmost island, is an excellent spot for catching bonefish, mackerel, and blue and white marlin, among others. Chub Cay Wall is located here, too, where divers can explore dramatic drop-offs, underwater caves, and caverns. Nearby, the Mama Rhoda Reef offers a kaleidoscope of coral formations. For those craving more thrill, head north to Hoffman’s Cay to experience a dive into the famous blue hole. At a depth of just 20 feet, this natural wonder is accessible for all skill levels and is a perfect introduction to these unique underwater formations.
Make your way through Little Whale Cay, a charming little island you can rent out, or go to Great Stirrup Cay to spot different wildlife both above and below the water. There is no shortage of beaches in Berry Islands, too. Visit Sugar Beach on the island’s east coast, where you can find caves and cliffs to explore. South from here is Shark Creek, with a stretch of white sand known as the Shell Beach, named after the thousands of seashells that washed up on its shores.
To make the most of your time here, a crewed superyacht charter provides the ultimate luxury. Explore available Bahamas luxury yacht charters now.
