Acklins & Crooked Island Yacht Charter

Two of the Bahamas’ best-kept secrets, Acklins and Crooked Island offer a level of tropical seclusion rarely found elsewhere in the archipelago. Far removed from the usual tourist routes, these islands present a serene retreat where tranquility reigns and nature is left almost untouched. Separated by the stunning Bight of Acklins—a vast 1,000-square-mile lagoon teeming with marine life—this pair of islands offers a chance to immerse yourself in pure solitude. With miles of undisturbed beaches and barely 400 residents between them, you’re more likely to spot your own footprints in the sand than another visitor. The peaceful setting makes it an ideal spot to relax, reflect, and reconnect with the simpler joys of island life. Both Acklins and Crooked Island feature dramatic natural landscapes, from lush walking trails and coral gardens to impressive limestone caves. The low population and absence of heavy tourism create a perfect setting for those seeking privacy or hoping to engage with friendly locals over tropical cocktails in a blissfully slow-paced environment. While quiet and remote, the islands still provide plenty for the adventurous traveler. Dive into crystal-clear waters, try your hand at deep-sea fishing or bonefishing, explore uncharted hiking paths, or even go paragliding when the weather allows. As you cruise through the lagoon by yacht, you’ll enjoy sweeping views and a feeling of discovery reminiscent of when Columbus first laid eyes on these shores. Crooked Island is home to historic settlements like French Wells and Gun Point, where the old-world charm and plantation-era history still echo through the small, welcoming communities. Meanwhile, nature lovers will be drawn to Turtle Sound, a pristine, nine-mile-long waterway surrounded by mangroves and rich with birdlife and marine species found nowhere else. Whether you’re seeking peaceful solitude, outdoor adventure, or cultural immersion, Acklins and Crooked Island provide an authentic and unforgettable escape.
