The Exumas are three hundred and sixty cays running a hundred and thirty miles south-east from Nassau, most of them uninhabited, all of them sitting on a bank so shallow that the water reads as light rather than colour.
At the centre is the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, the first marine reserve of its kind anywhere, established in 1958 and no-take since 1986. Reef, shark, grouper and conch have all recovered inside it. The result is a chain where the wildlife is the itinerary: nurse sharks, iguanas, turtles and, inevitably, the pigs.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Exumas; the rest we tailor to you.
