The Bahamas is an archipelago of more than 700 islands and cays, scattered across some of the clearest, shallowest water in the world. The Exuma Cays alone offer swimming pigs, hidden grottos, and sandbars that seem to float on turquoise glass. Nassau blends colonial history with modern Caribbean energy, while quieter islands like the Abacos and Andros barely see a crowd. Warm trade winds, endless anchorages, and water so clear you can see the seabed from the deck make this one of the most naturally spectacular places on earth to sail.
Our sailing tours in the Bahamas take advantage of one of the most island-dense stretches of water on the planet — over 700 islands and cays within easy reach of each other. Routes move between the famous swimming pig beaches of the Exumas, quiet sandbars that appear only at low tide, and small settlements where the pace of life slows down considerably. Every stop feels like its own discovery, from snorkeling over coral gardens to anchoring in water so shallow and clear it looks unreal. With us, you’ll experience the Bahamas the way it’s meant to be seen — island by island, at your own pace.
Chartering a yacht in the Bahamas is one of the easiest ways to island-hop through hundreds of cays, with marinas around Nassau and the Exumas well set up for visiting sailors. Choose independent bareboat sailing with a valid license, a fully skippered charter for a relaxed trip between sandbars, comfortable catamarans for families and groups, or fast motor yachts for covering more islands in a day. With calm, shallow banks and reliable trade winds, even first-time charter guests find the sailing forgiving and the scenery unforgettable. Whatever your experience level, we’ll help you find the right boat for your Bahamian adventure.
The Bahamas’ calm, shallow banks and steady trade winds make it one of the most forgiving places in the world to learn to sail. Our skipper courses follow ISSA standards, leading to an internationally recognized license valid for life. Protected waters around the Exumas are ideal for beginners building basic boat handling skills, while open channels between islands offer more dynamic conditions for progressing sailors. Training combines online theory with hands-on practice at sea, individually or in small groups, on sailing yachts, catamarans, or motor yachts — with crystal-clear water for a swim break after each lesson.

The Bahamas’ hundreds of islands each offer something different. Nassau and Paradise Island bring colonial architecture, lively marinas, and easy access to the rest of the archipelago. The Exuma Cays are famous for swimming pigs, sandbars, and some of the clearest water anywhere. The Abacos offer a quieter, more traditional sailing community feel, while Andros — the largest and least developed island — rewards those looking for true wilderness. Every region has its own rhythm, and we’ll help you choose the one that fits your trip.
The Bahamas’ hundreds of islands can be overwhelming to plan alone — we know exactly which ones are worth your time.
We truly know the Bahamas' waters. We sail here regularly, understanding the local winds, shallow banks, and the quiet cays that most visitors never find.
Our skippers know the best sandbar before the crowds arrive, the beach where the swimming pigs actually show up, and the calmest anchorage for watching the sunset. Every trip feels personal, guided by real local knowledge.
With hundreds of islands and shallow banks to navigate, we plan routes with comfortable distances, the right mix of lively spots and quiet cays, and flexible options if the weather changes.
Yes, sailing without a skipper in the Bahamas requires a valid skipper’s license officially recognized in the country, such as a national license or an ISSA certificate. If you don’t have one yet, you can complete our ISSA training in advance.
The main sailing season runs from November to July, avoiding the peak of hurricane season (August to October). December to April offers the most stable weather and comfortable temperatures, while late spring brings warmer water for swimming and snorkeling.
It depends on the specific tour. Typically included are the yacht itself, a charter pack (bed linen, towels, basic cleaning supplies), and standard equipment. Fuel, marina fees, food, and a skipper (if not already included) are usually paid separately — always check the details of your chosen tour.
With over 700 islands, seeing everything in one trip isn’t realistic — and that’s part of the adventure. Most guests focus on one cluster, like the Exumas or the Abacos, rather than trying to cover the whole archipelago. Either way, you’ll leave with plenty of unforgettable stops.
