Incredible Sailing Starts Here

Sailors love the Bahamas for its sheltered harbors, varied sailing areas — from serene to adventurous — as well as its island locales, tucked away and teeming with marine life, where stretches of mangroves play home to wildlife on sea and land alike.

Within many of its protected territories where fishing is prohibited, you’ll find the most enchanting diving and snorkeling spots.

Scampering swimming pigs, rare three-foot iguanas, and slow-footed sea turtles will greet you on white-sand beaches as schools of fish of every color of the rainbow swim with you below the surface. A traditional, land-locked vacation pales in comparison to seeing the world from your own private yacht, and enjoying everything the ocean has to offer — both above and below the water.

Escape winter in crystal-clear water ideal for snorkeling, diving, and enjoying the multicolored coral reefs, and because the Bahamas comprises over 700 islands and 2,000 cays, the journey is completely customizable, with something for every type of yachting enthusiast.

Each island has its own character, from bustling hubs like Nassau to secluded, pristine cays with untouched beauty. The Bahamas also offers numerous well-equipped marinas and anchorages, making it convenient for yachts of any size to dock.

And that’s a good thing, as our yacht rental options are second to none.
