Exploring the Bahamas: Nassau to George Town

Day 1: Enjoy the sensation of landing on water as you arrive to Nassau via Chalk’s. Minutes away from the Chalk’s terminal on Paradise Island is Atlantis, where you charter yacht is docked. Spend the day exploring The Dig and playing in the water on the many water slides. Sample the casino and the glittering nightlife of Atlantis.

Day 2: Depart after breakfast for Highborne Cay. Enjoy a leisurely cruise, while reading a good book, watching a movie or just lazing in a deck chair. Have lunch after you arrive, then spend the afternoon playing on your yachts many water toys.

Day 3: Cruise on down to Warderick Wells. Part of the Exuma Land and Sea Park, and falling under the jurisdiction of the Bahamas National Trust, Warderick Wells is pristine. Because of the strict regulations (absolutely no fishing), the waters surrounding it abound with fish and colorful corals. There is a four-mile hiking trail for those who really want to get away from everyone!

Day 4: Staniel Cay is the destination for today. Just a short hop on down the Exuma chain, arriving in plenty of time for a beach picnic. There are so many wonderful beaches on Staniel Cay, you are practically guaranteed to have the entire beach to yourself. Spend the evening at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club, eating dinner at one of the local restaurants, finishing up with cocktails and tall tails at the bar at the SCYC.

Day 5: Leave Staniel Cay behind for the George Town, the largest village in the Exuma Cays. Explore the town, then take the tender across Elizabeth Harbor to Stocking Island for an afternoon of snorkeling and exploring. Back to George Town by twilight, with the difficult choice of eating on-board or at The Peace and Plenty. Either way, dance the night away at the jump-up at the Peace and Plenty.

Day 6: Your captain quietly moves your yacht on down to Flamingo Bay, two miles south, so the fishermen in your party have the opportunity to pit their skills against the elusive bonefish that ghost over the flats. FishiAfter the fishermen return, head back toward Nassau, stopping at Sampson Cay. The Sampson Cay Club, with its stone architecture, excellent food and friendly bar, is a great place to wind up a week of adventures.
