Uncover the magic of this stunning chain of 365 islands and cays
The Exumas: A magnet for the elite
The Exumas are no stranger to luxury. The islands are a magnet for the elite, with a steady stream of superyachts cruising through. The Exumas provide everything from marine parks and anchorages to Instagram-worthy attractions like the famous swimming pigs and James Bond's Thunderball Grotto. This is the reason why Exumas is beloved by A-listers and yacht enthusiasts.
Most Exuma yacht charters begin in Nassau, the lively capital of the Bahamas. Walk barefoot along soft, powdery white sand beaches that rise gracefully from the ocean and hidden coves, each more inviting than the last.
Island hopping is also a must in the Exumas. Encounter exotic wildlife, from the ancient stromatolites at Warderick Wells to the friendly nurse sharks at Compass Cay. No trip to the Exumas is complete without a visit to Pig Beach on Big Major Cay. Here, you'll meet the adorable and photogenic swimming pigs.
Divers and snorkelers will find paradise here, too. One highlight is the world-famous Thunderball Grotto near Staniel Cay, which is featured in James Bond films. The area is also home to incredible reef dives, including the vibrant underwater world at Highbourne Cay. Meanwhile, you can enjoy paddleboarding and kayaking in Shroud Cay. You may even get a chance to encounter turtles in Sanctuary Creek. Also, visit the "Washing Machine," a natural water slide formed by outgoing tides, for exhilarating fun. Afterwards, hike to Driftwood Camp.
George Town, on Great Exuma, is a hub for yachting with excellent marinas, anchorages, and amenities. Nearby Stocking Island boasts the iconic Chat ‘n Chill beach bar and offers a relaxed vibe for enjoying fresh conch salads and Bahamian hospitality. For a quieter experience, visit Little Farmer’s Cay, which has a charming marina and local flavor. Lee Stocking Island, home to Perry Hill (the Exumas' highest point) and an abandoned marine research center, is perfect for history buffs and explorers.
The Exumas showcase the best Bahamian culture and fun from its fascinating wildlife to its iconic attractions. There’s no better way to explore this breathtaking archipelago than aboard a crewed superyacht. View all the luxury yachts and superyachts available for charter in the Exumas now!
