The Exumas
Nassau to Nassau
Day 1
Fly into Nassau International Airport. Meet the yacht at Atlantis Marina on Paradise Island. Once on board, make way for Highbourne Cay and Allen’s Cay. At Highbourne Cay, disembark to explore the island. Later, take the tender or Jet Skis over to Allen’s Cay. Be sure to bring some grapes, as the island’s native iguanas will eat from your hand.
Day 2
Highbourne Cay is the perfect place to start your day; enjoy a snorkel in the shallows or a paddleboard along the shore. Lunch cruise to Norman’s Cay where you can snorkel or dive on a sunken plane; the sea life here is abundant. Finish your evening with sunset cocktails as you cruise to Shroud Cay.
Day 3
Enjoy a sunrise walk on the beach of Shroud Cay before hitting the canals thru the island for some exploration ashore. Later, cruise to Warderick Wells. Warderick Wells is the base for The Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park where sea life is everywhere. Snorkeling here is a must. Overnight Waderick wells on a mooring.
Day 4
Morning cruise to Bell Island. Snorkel the “Sea Aquarium” and explore the sand bars. Lunchtime cruise to Big Major’s Spot, which is also the home of the swimming pigs. Snorkel in the famed thunderball grotto here; it too is a great spot with abundant fish life and spotting the resident nurse sharks. Afterward, the nearby Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the perfect place for happy hour or dinner.
Day 5
Spend the morning at this picture-perfect anchorage enjoying the yacht’s water toys. In the afternoon, take the tender to explore the nearby islands and coral reefs. Enjoy sundowners as the sun sets in the horizon – if you are lucky, you might see the elusive green flash.
Day 6
Enjoy all of the yacht’s amenities from beach clubs to tenders and water toys. Use the tender to explore the little cays and beaches that the yacht can’t reach. Fishing excursions sunsets and relaxing.
Day 7
Enjoy an alfresco breakfast followed by some snorkeling. Later, take the Jet Skis, packed up strawberries and Champagne, for a spin to a secret sandbar. Return to the yacht for one last sunset dinner aboard.
Day 8
Keep heading north to explore the anchorages closer to Nassau, Rose Island, Egg Island and Royal Island. Or, if preferred, head for Paradise Island and take advantage of the wonderful amenities of the Atlantis Resort.
