Bahamas

DAY ONE

Nassau

Fly into Nassau in the morning, transfixed by the blinding blue water and white islands visible out of your plane window. Within hours, you will be floating through that tropical paradise of sea, sand and sky. Your attentive crew will be waiting to greet you onboard: the stewardesses will help you settle in to your palatial staterooms, the talented chef will prepare a magnificent lunch of all your favourite foods for you to enjoy whilst your captain navigates you through the sapphire sea and to your first stunning anchorage at Highbourne Cay.

DAY TWO

Allan Cay

Visit the Bahamian iguanas of Allan Cay before cruising to Warderick Wells, a stunning natural paradise of hiking trails and part of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. Climb famous Boo Boo Hill, explore the Loyalist plantation, visit the sperm whale skeleton, or snorkel and swim the afternoon away. As night falls, the crew can set up a luxury barbecue for you on the beach.

DAY THREE

Compass Cay

You will get underway early to Compass Cay, where you can snorkel above a fabricated airplane wreck home to an abundance of exotic marine life, explore the caves of Rocky Dundas, or just hang out with the gentle nurse sharks, tropical fish and graceful rays. In the afternoon, cruise to Big Major Island and be ready to swim with the pigs!

DAY FOUR-FIVE

Staniel Cay

While their numbers have dropped, the swimming pigs are still one of the Bahamas’ most fantastic attractions. There is nothing quite like seeing the pigs swim out to your yacht, their little pink trotters paddling frantically in the translucent water, fleshy snouts just above the surface. Then cruise to Staniel Cay, where you will visit the incredible Thunderball Grotto, so named after the 007 movie that was filmed there. Finish your wonderful day with a meal overlooking the marina at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club.

DAY SIX

Shroud Cay

Spend a morning of fun on the water toys and lazing about on the beach, before enjoying an afternoon on the yacht as you cruise to the stunning and uninhabited Shroud Cay. After dropping anchor and having a late afternoon walk on the beach, get dressed for a cocktail and canapé party on the sundeck whilst you watch the dramatic Caribbean suns.

Shroud Cay is a pristine wilderness of white sand beaches, mangroves, palm trees and birdsong. Kayak up the turquoise creeks, snorkel the reef, cast a line for bonefish in the shallows, or take one of the gentle hikes across the island. Have a picnic on the beach and make the most of your last full day on charter, before returning to the yacht for a candlelit meal under the Bahamian stars.

DAY SEVEN

Nassau

Return to Nassau. With a heart full of happy memories of sunshine and laughter, disembark your yacht and enjoy the buzz of Atlantis Paradise Island Resort with its high-end casino, celebrity chef restaurants, and giant waterslides.
