Why Choose a Catamaran Charter in the Exumas?
If you’re searching for the most breathtaking destination in the Bahamas for a private yacht experience, The Exumas stand in a league of their own. Over the years guiding clients through these pristine waters, I’ve learned exactly why the Exumas captivate travelers, they are a perfect combination of untouched nature, smooth sailing conditions, and iconic marine life encounters.
Unlike busier tourist hubs, the Exumas offer a serene, crowd-free environment where every stop feels like your own private island. With 365 cays to explore, a catamaran allows you to effortlessly hop between destinations like Staniel Cay, Compass Cay, Warderick Wells, and countless hidden beaches.
Why are the catamarans ideal for this region?
Their shallow draft provides access to areas monohulls and larger yachts simply cannot enter—secret sandbars, lagoons, and coves that define the Exuma experience. Gentle trade winds make sailing smooth year-round, and the protected Exuma Bank ensures calm waters perfect for families and first-time charter guests.
