Mayaguana Island Yacht Charter

Mayaguana, one of the most remote islands in the southeastern Bahamas, offers a truly off-the-grid escape for yacht charterers seeking serenity and natural beauty. Largely untouched by modern development, it preserves its Lucayan heritage and remains the only island in the Bahamas to retain its original Arawak name. With just 300 residents spread across three quiet villages—Abraham’s Bay, Pirate’s Well, and Betsy Bay—visitors can enjoy a peaceful and authentic island experience. Abraham’s Bay, the island’s most notable settlement, features historic landmarks like a scenic lighthouse and abundant birdlife, including the endangered Bahama Parrot. Nature lovers will find Mayaguana especially rewarding. The island is home to unique wildlife such as the hutia, once thought extinct, and nearby Booby Cay, where you’ll find brown booby birds, starfish, goats, and rock iguanas. The calm waters between the cay and the mainland are perfect for swimming and kayaking. The island also boasts the vast Northwest Point National Park, with untouched beaches, dense mangroves, and hiking trails that reward with panoramic views. Pirate’s Well offers intriguing natural caves, believed to be hiding spots for pirate treasure, while Boiling Hole—a coastal sinkhole with bubbling water—is a fascinating geological wonder. Whether crabbing along Horse Pond Beach at sunset, exploring limestone caves, or playing with water toys off secluded beaches like Nares Point and Samana Cay, Mayaguana promises quiet adventure and pristine surroundings. For those dreaming of an escape steeped in history and nature, this island is a hidden Bahamian treasure waiting to be explored by superyacht.
