The vast majority of the tourists that travel to the Bahamas each year never leave Nassau, Paradise Island. But with over 700 islands, secluded cays, a Fountain of Youth, the largest blue hole in the world, and near perfect year-round weather, there’s so much more these islands have to offer. A beach and watersports mecca, there’s no easier, more luxurious way to travel these islands than by yacht.

Home to the world’s third largest barrier reef, the Andros Barrier Reef is a maritime playground for any diver looking for a challenge. If it’s the beaches you’re after, set sail for Eleuthera and Harbour Island and sift your toes through the warm pink-sand. Swim with pigs in the Exumas - did you know pigs can float? If you’re cruising the islands on Boxing Day, Junkanoo is a festival of parades and parties that give homage to Rio de Janeiro’s Carnaval and New Orleans’ Mardi Gras.

So savor your Bahama Mama rum drinks from the jacuzzi of your sun deck, enjoy a family fish fry on the beach, and dance to an authentic Bahamian band at a Rake n’ Scrape on Cat Island. These islands are sure to knock the wind out of your sails.

NASSAU

A bizzare mix of glitzy casinos, high-end duty free shopping, and quiet shady lanes, Nassau, home to two-thirds of all Bahamians, provides fast paced living and nightlife until dawn. While the hustle and bustle of cruise ship activity to Atlantis Resort is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, you won’t have to travel far to find a quiet place to sit with an ocean view, where the only noise you’ll hear are the waves rolling in.

While there are many great things to see and do in Nassau – like visiting the island’s well preserved historic buildings, which date back to the days when pirates ruled the town - the real treasures await on the other islands to come, and Nassau is just your starting off point.
