7 Days Yacht Charter Itinerary
Staniel cay to Staniel cay
Private Arrival in Staniel Cay
For those seeking a peaceful escape, Staniel Cay in the Exumas offers effortless access via private jet or charter flight. Though not a port of entry for U.S. travelers, it’s an easy hop from nearby customs-approved airports.
Upon arrival, you’ll meet your yacht at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. After a warm welcome aboard, set off for a scenic sunset dinner with views of the pastel-hued buildings, then anchor overnight in the calm, clear waters.
Iconic Sights of the Exumas
After breakfast, get ready to explore the underwater wonders of the Exumas. First stop: the wreckage of a drug smuggler’s plane, now a vibrant reef teeming with marine life—perfect for a Go-Pro snorkeling session.
Next, head to Thunderball Grotto, a cinematic cave featured in the James Bond film Thunderball. Its dramatic rock formations make for a breathtaking swim. After lunch, cruise over to Sampson Cay for an afternoon of water toys and sun-soaked fun, before anchoring for the night.
Meet the Famous Pigs
Hop in the tender and cruise over to the serene beauty of Pipe Creek, a string of islands surrounded by bright white sands and crystal-clear aquamarine waters. Start your day water-skiing, snorkeling, or strolling barefoot along untouched beaches before enjoying lunch on board while cruising to Big Major’s Cay.
Here, you’ll encounter the famous swimming pigs of the Bahamas. These curious animals will paddle right up to your tender to say hello. Your crew will provide snacks so you can feed them, snap some photos, and enjoy the unforgettable experience before returning to your yacht for a festive, themed dinner onboard.
Explore Compass Cay
Cruise north to Compass Cay, where Rocky Dundas awaits—two ancient sea caves adorned with dramatic stalactites and bathed in ethereal light. Snorkel inside the natural pools or marvel at the cathedral-like rock formations.
Nearby, discover Rachel’s Bubble Bath, a natural whirlpool carved by tides and rock. With the timing just right, your crew will bring you to this frothy spot for a one-of-a-kind natural spa experience.
Dive into O’Brien’s Cay
Begin your day with a breakfast cruise to O’Brien’s Cay, located within the breathtaking Exumas Land and Sea Park. This area is rich with marine life and stunning dive spots.
Explore a deeper airplane wreck, its nose buried in the seabed at a sharp angle. Then visit The Aquarium, a vibrant dive site named for its abundance of tropical fish—perfect for hours of snorkeling and underwater photography.
Warderick Wells: Hike and Relax
Cruise into Warderick Wells, the heart of the Exumas Land and Sea Park and once a pirate stronghold. Shallow anchorages and sandbars make for playful swimming in tidal pools formed by gentle currents.
Lace up your hiking shoes and head ashore to Boo Hill. Choose from several scenic trails and keep watch for tropical birds nesting in the wild brush. The panoramic ocean views from the top are unforgettable. Return to your yacht for a sunset meal in peaceful seclusion.
Departure from Staniel Cay
Return to Staniel Cay for your departure. If time permits, enjoy one final swim in the warm turquoise sea or take out the water toys for a last bit of fun.
Disembark with sun-kissed skin, unforgettable memories, and the calm satisfaction that only a Bahamas yacht charter can bring.
