BIMINI
Charter a yacht to the Bahamas and get away from the mainland with an adventure to Bimini, a chain of small islands situated just west of the Bahamas that are only a three hour boat ride away from Miami and South Beach. Bimini is known for its laid back lifestyle, with its pristine white sand beaches and picturesque nature trails waiting to be explored. For divers and snorkelers, Bimini offers the finest possible experience. Swim up close with dolphins and stingrays, or explore the mysterious remains of a shipwreck. Bimini is also rich in culture and history and is home to many landmarks that can be visited by boat.
One of the most well known is the Bimini Road, an unusual underwater rock formation that dates back centuries and is believed by some to be the remnants of an ancient human-created road. Located near the underwater Bimini Road is what some believe to be Ponce de Leon’s Foundation of Youth. This pool, which locals call the Healing Hole, lies at the end of a network of underground tunnels that pump out cool, fresh water during outgoing tides. Charter a motor yacht with us to explore this beautiful island chain for a vacation you’ll never forget.
We recommend spending at least two days in order to soak in the full atmosphere of the island, as well as staying at Bimini Bay Resort & Marina (www.biminibayresort.com)
EXUMA
With sapphire-blue water everywhere, The Exumas are an exotic collection of dream destinations. Footprint-free beaches and ultra exclusive resorts and islands fit for celebrities make this tropical paradise an absolute gem. Here, nature outnumbers man, coastlines remain flawless and private homes play host to some of the world’s most famous stars. The Exumas truly are the ultimate escape. The Exumas are an archipelago of 365 cays and islands, beginning just 35 miles southeast of Nassau. Once called Yumey and Suma (names of Amer-Indian origin), the islands have gone through many changes over the years.
Today, they’re divided into three major areas—Great Exuma, Little Exuma and The Exuma Cays. Each offers its own unique Bahamian experience. Great Exuma and Little Exuma are known for their laid-back surroundings, while The Exuma Cays act as a playground for the rich and famous, boasting numerous private homes, luxury resorts and beachside condos.
NASSAU
Is the Capital and the largest city of the Bahamas. A popular cruise-ship stop, it’s known for its beaches and coral reefs and its beautiful destinations for diving and snorkeling. This city can also boats the Caribbean’s largest casino. The greatest charm of the island is that it retains many of its characteristic pastel-colored British colonial buildings, including pink-hued Government House. When you charter a yacht to the Bahamas you will enjoy traveling around the 700 islands and cays that make up the Bahamas. The eight to nine hour travel time from Miami will be spent however you prefer – relaxing with your friends, sampling food from a private chef, or simply enjoying the views of the Atlantic Ocean. Experience the tropical blue waters and sandy beaches of Nassau & Exumas by visiting Paradise Island, Sampson Cay, Compass Cay, Staniel Cay and Highbore Cay.
MAJOR CAY – PIG ISLAND
The Bahamas is the ‘Official Home of the Swimming Pigs’. Visitors to the islands are happily embracing the unique and special experience of swimming with the pigs on the uninhabited island of Big Major Cay, which is home to these special creatures and affectionately called “Pig Beach”. The swimming pigs join the vast selection of aquatic activities already popular with visitors to The Bahamas, from snorkeling with tropical fish and sea turtles to shark and eel sightings to scuba diving.
The family of pigs, dubbed ‘adorable’ by tourists, locals and media alike, have become incredibly popular. They live freely on the sandy beaches, and after basking in the sun for hours, they swim in the surf. The pigs, though feral, are exceptionally friendly, running from under the shade of the almond trees to greet visitors that bring them treats. They are also fed by the crews of passing yachts and vessels. The swimming pigs are truly a sight to behold and have become so popular that they have inspired a children’s book, “The Secret of Pig’s Island,” by Jennifer R. Nolan, and a song by children’s author Sandra Boynton.
