Bahamas Yacht Charter

A Bahamas yacht charter promises guests a slice of tropical perfection and unparalleled escapism. The idyllic chain of islands that form the Bahamas provides yacht charter guests with a decadent cocktail of sun-drenched sands (even pink ones), crystalline waters teeming with marine life, and diverse topography.

Comprising more than 700 heavenly islands with precious few inhabited, the cruising grounds of the Bahamas archipelago offer a fascinating mixture of seclusion and connectedness. Expect a gloriously slower pace of life that harmonizes with the gentle tide, blended with a fiesta of blazing color and soft-calypso: an endearingly exotic charter experience.

Silhouetted by coral cays, aquamarine shallows are garlanded with glistening coves and iridescent bays are often only three or four meters deep, making the Bahamas both a perennial family favorite and a jet-setter's paradise. It's ideal territory for shallow draft yachts or catamarans, who can cozy up to seldom-visited anchorages and soak up their celestial calm, or delve deeper for an aquatic adventure.

Bahamas Yacht Charters: At a Glance

  • Constant sunshine Its sun-drenched shores amid cinematic landscapes charm yacht charter guests all-year-round. A blissful sanctuary awaits you when you reach these islands.
  • 700 islands, cays, and islets Make up the achingly beautiful jigsaw that is the Bahamas archipelago; expect beaches and bays that make your heart sing as par for the course. You'll be spoilt for choice with stunning anchorages.
  • 4% cruising fee Attractively low fees help to make the Bahamas an enduringly popular yacht charter destination.
  • Easily accessible Reaching the Bahamas is a mere hours flight from Florida or three hours from New York and Toronto. The Bahamas also has excellent transport links to other worldwide destinations.
  • Tropical thrills The Bahamas is a place of endless adventure and intrigue: from swimming with inquisitive pigs and gliding alongside friendly nurse sharks; to strolling otherworldly pink beaches and diving into coral-filled caves that once appeared in a James Bond film. The list really does go on and on.
  • Shallow waters The Bahamas' alluringly clear waters aren't deep, so shallow draught motor yachts, sailing yachts or catamarans provide guests with more opportunities to admire the Bahamas' natural splendor.

Where to Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas

Sensationally beautiful cays dapple every part of this glittering archipelago, so Bahamas yacht charter guests can take their pick of destinations to venture to. Every kind of possible itinerary can be catered to here; from simply recalibrating on silky sanded beaches lapped by gentle waves of unearthly blue: to shimmying the night away at twinkling bars until dawn; to whiling away sun-kissed afternoons golfing, snorkeling, fishing, and even horseback riding.

Types of Charter Yachts in the Bahamas

Crewed motor yacht charters and luxury catamaran charters are undoubtedly the best way to discover the Bahamas.

As one of the most popular destinations for yacht charters in the Caribbean , guests have countless fleet options when it comes to a Bahamas crewed charter. If you are unsure whether to opt for a motor yacht, sailing yacht or catamaran to cruise Bahamian waters, here are some main points to consider:

Shallow Cruising Grounds

The waters all around the Bahamas are fairly shallow, often no more than 4 meters deep, and even less in some places. Therefore, yachts with shallow drafts make the ideal choice for luxury charters around this enchanting region.

Most sailing charter yachts come equipped with a retractable keel, facilitating access to the beautiful turquoise shallows, although larger sailing yachts may still find their draft too deep for some areas, even with their keel up!

To get around this, some of the larger luxury yachts drop their anchor further out into the deeper waters and use their onboard tenders to explore the area, where guests can experience the thrill of getting up close and personal with the archipelago’s astonishing marine fauna, including rays, sharks and inquisitive swimming pigs. The yachts’ tenders also enable even greater access to the Bahamas' myriad exquisite island reefs and blue lagoons.

Motor yacht charter in the Bahamas

A luxury motor yacht provides guests with a tranquil haven to uncover the startling beauty of the Bahamas. Whether you want to peacefully bronze under Bahamian rays or get out the jet skis and whizz around deserted islands, a crewed motor yacht charter in the Bahamas provides you with boundless itinerary options. 

Sailing Yacht Charter in the Bahamas

Chartering a sailing yacht in the Bahamas means you can embrace all that these substantially beautiful islands have to offer. Cruising further afield to otherwise inaccessible sleepy villages with chalk-white beaches and waters suffused with a pale aqua glow is worth incorporating into any itinerary.

Catamaran Charter in the Bahamas

Given that the majority of catamarans have shallow drafts, crewed catamaran charters are a highly popular choice for Bahamas vacations. As you can cruise close to the cays, guests can savor the liberating feeling of being able to jump off-board at almost any point. Whether it's to dive amid sunken shipwrecks and admire shoals of fish that shimmy through fronds of coral in a kaleidoscope of color or to dance the night away at a private island under a blanket of stars; the choice is all yours.

How Much Does It Cost To Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas?

Bahamas yacht charters are plentiful, which means there are a vast array of motor yacht and catamaran charters to suit every type of budget. The average prices for motor and sailing yacht charters in the Bahamas are as follows;

For motor yacht rentals in Bahamas, prices can range from $42,100 to $1.47m per week, plus expenses

For luxury sailing yacht rentals in Bahamas, prices can go from $30,000 to $343,476 weekly, plus expenses

Tax for Yacht Charters in the Bahamas

What is the cost of tax for yacht charters in the Bahamas? From the 1st of July 2022, a new 10% VAT rate will be levied on the total charter fee, and is applicable to all yachts cruising in Bahamian waters. The new 10% levy does not replace the current 4% cruising fee which remains payable to the Port Department. 

All yachts wishing to cruise within the archipelago must now register for VAT in the Bahamas and receive a Bahamian TIN number. 

Please consult your chosen yacht charter broker who will be able to offer personalized advice on VAT and any other business for your next Bahamas yacht charter.

Foreign-Flagged Yachts in US Waters

There are strict and complicated rules governing commercial yacht charters (non-private) cruising US waters, which in general means that only US-flagged yachts or US built yachts with a coastwise endorsement can conduct yacht charters in the US. Furthermore, yachts that are available for charter are considered to be "engaging in a trade" and thus ineligible for a US cruising licence. Most luxury charter yachts are also not US duty paid.

As the majority of the charter fleet are foreign-flagged yachts, Bahamas yacht charters will likely begin outside of the US, usually in the Bahamian capital of Nassau where there is a large busy international airport.

That said, it is possible to pick-up charter guests in the US so long as the yacht's next port of call is outside of US waters. This can be a good option for those wishing to meet the boat in Florida and cruise down to the Bahamas from here.

Where Should I Begin My Yacht Charter in the Bahamas?

The vast majority of yacht charters in the Bahamas embark and disembark in the country's picturesque capital  Nassau , which is home to its best-known international ports, dotted with top-rung marinas all along its azure waters. The city is justly renowned for its throng of fine-dining options, boutiques, hip eateries, and casinos fringed by towering palm trees. Nassau is also conveniently located for cruising to the Exumas and beyond.

Atlantis Resort, Nassau

For a real respite from the crowds, it's common for yacht charter guests to embark their vessel at Marsh Harbor on the  Abaco Islands ,  where you can trace the mesmerizing string of sandy cays that can be found here. Its shores, a serene and shimmering topaz, are perfect for dropping anchor and taking the toys for a spin.

When is the Best Time to Visit the Bahamas by Yacht?

One of the great joys of choosing a Bahamas yacht charter is that its balmy climes and shallow waters make it more or less ideal to cruise all-year-round* .  But the Bahamas does have a peak season from mid-December to mid-April. The average temperatures of both Bahamian summers and winters are unsurprisingly tropical: hovering between 24-29 degrees and rarely dipping below this. 

Palm tree lined beach in the Bahamas

During the summertime (from May until October), guests can expect endless sunshine and some humidity, while from November until April, the Bahamas has a slightly cooler temperature and colder waters.

*However, whilst Bahamian weather is pleasingly warm all-year the islands do fall within the hurricane belt, running from June until the end of November along the US East Coast and the Caribbean. The Western Caribbean's own hurricane season usually starts from mid-September until early November.

Nevertheless, it is worth keeping in mind that hurricanes in the Bahamas are fairly infrequent, and even less so than on the US East Coast.

Marinas in the Bahamas

It is not hyperbole to say that the Bahamas offers some of the most spectacular marinas in the world: from glamorous hotspots replete with award-winning restaurants, designer stores, and buzzing beach bars, to the exquisite barefoot luxury that emanates from the less frequented.

Marina in the Bahamas

A slew of activities is on offer here, including bonefishing, ocean fishing, dolphin watching, golfing, and snorkeling. And that's not even to mention the dizzying array of casinos, water parks, and marine reserves you can also find. Simply put, marinas in the Bahamas are simply of the finest caliber.

But which marinas are the best? Below are some charter favorites:

  • Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina : the newly renovated marina at Paradise Landing close to the famous Atlantis Resort in Nassau offers a raft of 5-star amenities, wellness facilities and world-class retail outlets, not to mention exclusive restaurants and bars, alongside an on-site customs facility and slips catering to yachts up to 420ft (128m) LOA.
  • Treasure Cay Beach, Marina and Golf Resort (The Abacos): well-protected deep water marina, with excellent provisioning. Features an outstanding golf course, as well a spa for an extra dose of pampering. Excursions to see the delightful water-bound pigs can also be arranged here. It offers a 164-berth capacity up to 46m.
  • Green Turtle Club and Marina (The Abacos): tranquil and conveniently located to Abaco's hotspots as well as a perfect spot for beach hikes and land-based activities. Accommodates 40 berths up to 39m.
  • Atlantis Marina: iconic megayacht marina featuring a protected harbor with 63 berths up to 67m. Has an extensive number of facilities including a golf course, casino, spa, water park, and more. You can also arrange swimming with dolphins excursions here.
  • Emerald Bay Marina (The Exumas): large superyacht marina that has a berth capacity of 150 for yachts up to 79m. Within easy reach of many mesmerizing cays, including Cave Cay and Staniel Cay.
  • Palm Cay Marina (Nassau): ideal jumping point for exploring Paradise Island and the Exumas, with state-of-the-art facilities and amenities. 194 berth capacity up to 33m.
  • Highbourne Cay Marina: exclusive marina on a privately owned island, seen as the gateway to the Exumas. Accommodates up to 26 berths.

Popular Anchorages in the Bahamas

The Bahamas has jaw-dropping anchorages in abundance, flecked all along the 590-mile-long archipelago.

In the Exumas , you must cruise towards Leaf Cay to meet the colony of stocky but amiable Iguanas who call it home. You won't miss them: they'll be ready and waiting to greet you when you drop anchor. You should also pay a visit to  Staniel Cay, where the famed  Thunderball Grotto ( named after the 1965 James Bond film) is located, to see a cave illuminated by light and flourishes of angelfish. Closeby, you'll find Big Major Cay's  swimming pigs, who have a seemingly never-ending capacity for treats, and Shroud Cay's sea turtles contently floating amid a dramatic underwater backdrop. Simply put, it's a wildlife lover's paradise.

In the Abacos, head south to the isolated Great Guana Cay and  spend an afternoon snorkeling around the marine park, or alternatively, head straight to its golf course. Further north, you'll find Green Turtle Cay : where fishing boats stand charmingly in front of timber houses in a perfectly graduated shade of pastels. Swimming pigs (yes, there's even more here!) are located in nearby Noname Cay . And last but not least, bathe in the calm, warm shores of  Treasure Cay,  where you will find some of the best beaches in the world.

Elsewhere, other popular anchorages include those in  Eleuthera , an island steeped in cultural significance but manages to retain its erstwhile charm. Set towards  St. George's Cay to drink up the peaceful ambiance of Spanish Wells beach  and meander the historic  Governor's Harbor.

Best Airports in the Bahamas for Yacht Charters

airplane flying past palm trees Bahamas

Reaching your crewed yacht charter in the Bahamas is a breeze, with more than 20 international airports at your disposal, plus myriad smaller private and public airports. However, some are more conveniently located to popular yacht charter destinations than others. Here are the most popular airports for yacht charters in the Bahamas:

  • Nassau Lyndon-Pindling International Airport: best for charters starting in vibrant Nassau, as it is conveniently located to the docks of many world-class marinas and can be a quick tender ride from the airport. 
  • Georgetown, Great Exuma Airport : ideally located to reach the world-famous swimming pigs in the Exumas. Daily international flights are available.
  • North Eleuthera Airport: an international airport that is best for reaching the quaint Eleuthera and Harbor Island.
  • Marsh Harbor International Airport: ideal for charters commencing on the crystal clear shores of Abacos, being only 7.9km away.
  • Treasure Cay Airport : smaller than Marsh Harbor International Airport, this one is perfect for Northern Abacos yacht charters, taking a short water taxi ride to Green Turtle Cay to reach your destination.

Booking Advice from the Experts

We strongly recommend booking with your yacht charter broker at least three to six months in advance, as the Bahamas is a highly popular Caribbean luxury yacht charter destination. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.

This also ensures your broker has enough time to craft a personalized itinerary and secure a berth at a popular marina.

Local Insight

Diving in the Bahamas

  • Keep in mind that the endless sunshine from mid-December until April attracts a high number of visitors to this idyllic location, and this is when the Bahamas is usually at its busiest.
  • New Providence Island (where Nassau and the extraordinary Atlantis Resort and Marina are situated) tends to be heaving with cruise ships. If you are looking for a calmer charter, this is worth taking into consideration.
  • Weather conditions and wind strength play a crucial role in anchorage spots in the Bahamas, so plan any overnight anchorages accordingly.
  • Some anchorages can be a bit of a challenge to set: it's common for heavy grass to cover a large section of some of the better spots to drop anchor 
  • Anchorages that appear to have a sandy bottom can oftentimes be just a thin layer of sand over a coral reef or rock, making it difficult to dig the anchor in. Don't be misled by them!

Most Popular Superyacht Hotspots in the Bahamas

Treasure Cay Abaco Bahamas beach

In the north of the archipelago you'll find the Abacos : widely considered to be the boating capital of the Bahamas thanks to its unique geography. Epitomising laid-back Bahamian living, an Abacos yacht charter is ideal for those in search of stillness and solitude. Soak up its subtle alchemy at the vast 2,100 marine reserve in Pelican Cay,  fringed by blossoming coral, tame sea turtles, and dancing angelfish, or explore the superb surfing opportunities at Fowl Cays . For a journey through vivid color, pass a leisurely morning in nearby  Hope Tow n, admiring crayon-hued Bahamian architecture and  Elbow Cay's candy-striped lighthouse whilst drinking in their unpretentious ambiance.

After an afternoon spent floating on a late-summer heat haze, further on to Green Turtle Cay and sip on that famous Bahamian cocktail, the Goombay Smash, by a seafront taverna as the sun casts a peachy glow. Of course, no visit to the Abacos would be complete without a trip to the acclaimed  Treasure Cay Beach : its milky white sands and cyan shallows see it routinely end up on the world's most beautiful beaches list.

Home to 365 cays, days here could easily drift by diving off burnished rocks until the sun slowly slinks away. Life truly does revolve around the water in the Exumas, so think every watersport you could possibly imagine is a go here. Plus, it's the perfect shallow cruising ground for yacht charters, with no cruise ships in sight making it a discerning choice for those looking for repose.

Sailing towards Big Major's Cay is love at first sight for most: it's where you will find Pig Beach ,  and its utterly charming piggies gliding surprisingly effortlessly across the water. Nearby, plunge into the sea with nurse sharks at Compass Cay before ending the day sauntering along the remote  Three Sisters Beach as the sunsets. Whilst you are here, go onshore and absorb Bahamian culture to its fullest in  Georgetown.

An Eleuthera yacht charter has come to encapsulate the island's name, which in Greek means 'freedom'. Secluded, slender, and over 100 miles long, Eleuthera is unquestionably the prettiest out of the Out Islands, fully earning its name as the Nantucket of the Caribbean. With the island's soft, salmon-colored sandy beaches and pastel-painted houses set among pineapple fields, it's hard not to become infatuated by its perfectly-packaged tropical charms.

Make sure you also visit the historic capital  Governor's Harbor  and the verdant  Hatchet Bay whilst you are cruising its unspoiled shores.

Harbour Island

stunning pink sandy beach in bahamas

Situated in the northwest of Eleuthera, Harbor Island is renowned for its astonishing Pink Sand Beach , which gets its unique rosy hue from the presence of millions of tiny crushed coral seashells. Packing a powerful punch to the senses, this seemingly endless stretch of sand which is cool-to-the-touch (and ideal for barefoot walking) extends over three miles and adored by the well-heeled. And you'll understand in an instant why when you visit.  Languid afternoons spent upon its long arc of soft sugar-textured sand, hugged by pale-blue waters and bathed in golden light will linger long in your memory.

But that's not all Harbor Island has to offer. It would be remiss not to mention Harbor Island's lively night scene, and the number of sophisticated boutiques huddled here: with Dunmore Town the ultimate go-to destination for designer wear.

Don't Miss:

Andros Barrier Reef: delve into shipwrecks and be greeted with a vast array of marine life at the third longest reef in the world. If you fancy bonefishing, this is among the world's best locations.

Warderick Wells: tether here to discover some of the rarest life forms on earth, as well as lobsters, turtles, and parrotfish.

Wax Cay: grab your jet skis for a thrilling trip through the cay's myriad of mangroves.

Lucayan National Park: a stunning park that is also home to the world's longest underwater cave system.

Walker's Cay: if you love sport-fishing, then this spot should be your prime choice.

Junkanoo: be serenaded by island-inspired calypso and flamboyant dance troupes in this vibrant street parade held every Boxing Day.

Glass Window Bridge: drink in the majestic panoramas here, with views of the rich, sapphire-tinted waters of the Atlantic to the left, and the aqua Caribbean to the right.

John Watling’s Distillery: set in a former plantation house, sample a traditional rum cocktail at the Red Turtle Tavern, bordered by leafy black olive trees.

Clifton Heritage National Park: snorkel around the largest underwater sculpture in the world — an 18-foot statue of a Bahamian girl.

Bimini: less-frequented, this island is one of only a handful of places in the world where you can swim with wild dolphins, so make the most of it.

Bahamas Yacht Charter Q&A

Your vessel will need to have a shallow draft (no more than 4m) as Bahamas waters aren't deep. If you would like to visit the Bahamas by superyacht, it will need to have a shallow draft below 4m or a retractable keel to cruise comfortably and make the most of the idyllic anchorages found here.

Browse with ease on our site a wide-ranging selection of motor yachts, sailing yachts, and catamarans for charter in the Bahamas. Select by your chosen dates, number of guests, yacht type, features, and preferred onboard toys and we'll show you what's available.

If you decide to make an enquiry, a yacht charter broker will then contact you to provide you with a custom charter proposal based on your needs.

You can also reach out to your yacht charter broker directly, and they will be able to research for you the ideal yacht charter in the Bahamas.

Mid-December to mid-April is the Bahamas' peak season, characterized by endless sunshine and pleasingly warm waters.

Nassau is the invariably popular choice to begin a Bahamas yacht charter. Not only is the city astoundingly beautiful and replete with world-class marinas, hip boutiques, restaurants, and more, but reaching other Bahamas destinations like the Exumas is a breeze.

In most cases, a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee is required as a deposit to secure your luxury yacht charter, which is payable once the contract has been signed.

The Bahamas is a highly popular yacht charter destination, which for guests means there is a yacht to suit practically every budget.

When booking, keep in mind the additional costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely tax and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). Typically set at 30% of the charter fee, the APA is paid in advance and covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food,  drinks, as well as any special requests (such as for tenders that are not carried by yacht, equipment hire, etc.)

Great experience round trip Nassau to Georgetown on a Moorings 46 PCE power cat. Moorings base now very well run. Boat performed well with no significant issues. Returned Norman Cay to Nassau in 2 meter seas as a good test. 12 Knots provide excel…

“I've used 12 Knots twice”

I've used 12 Knots twice now and everything has gone smooth, their site is easy to navigate, and the prices have been tough to beat.

I apologize for the delay. We have been out of the country for almost a month. The sailing was great. The Exuma Islands were amazing. The staff at Navtours were helpful and professional. On the last day (on the crossing back)—the impeller went bad. W…

Everything You Need to Know About a Bahamian Yacht Charter

Are the exuma islands worth exploring on a yacht charter in the bahamas.

The Exumas are most certainly worth exploring during a luxury yacht vacation in The Bahamas. This stunning archipelago is the most popular cruising area during a Bahamas yacht charter, but don’t let the moniker “popular” make you think they are crowded, as they are anything but. Comprising 365 islands, islets, and cays with anchorages from an hour to seven hours apart, there is plenty of space to find privacy, even during the peak cruising season, so where you go depends on how many islands you want to visit. Once you experience a boat charter in The Bahamas, you’ll see why people come back again and again.

Why charter a motor yacht in The Bahamas?

A crewed luxury motor yacht is a great way to cruise the crystal-clear waters of The Bahamas. Motor yachts offer great interior volume and superb onboard amenities. Motor yachts are also more accessible than sailing vessels, with many boasting elevators that ensure easy access to all decks. Large motor yachts often include a large garage, enabling them to carry a tender, or in some cases, several tenders, as well as a superb selection of water toys. On larger motor yachts and superyachts, expect to find amenities such as a cinema, swimming pool, hot tub, a spa, gym, beach club, and multiple deck areas for sunbathing, relaxation, and entertaining. Superyachts may also include a helipad and submersibles. The wide range of amenities and voluminous interior spaces of a motor yacht make them a popular choice with families and large groups of friends. For the best choice of motor yacht charters in The Bahamas, contact Northrop & Johnson.

Why charter a sailing yacht in The Bahamas?

Sailing yachts offer a thrilling way to explore The Bahamas and are a great choice for those seeking an eco-friendly way to cruise.

Modern luxury sailing yachts boast clever and flexible layouts and fantastic onboard amenities coupled with stunning interiors. Of course, on a crewed sailing yacht charter, you will also benefit from incredible service levels courtesy of a dedicated and highly professional, and knowledgeable crew. Contact Northrop & Johnson if you want to enjoy a luxury Bahamas sailing vacation.

Begin by deciding whether you prefer a sailing yacht charter or a motor yacht experience. Consider including Paradise Island, known for its world-class resorts like the Atlantis Resort and Exuma Cays, home to the famous swimming pigs. For a more intimate experience, private islands offer secluded beaches away from the typical cruise ship routes.

Can we explore marine life and engage in water sports during our yacht charter in the Bahamas?

Absolutely! Charter yachts in the Bahamas are well-equipped for an array of water activities. The shallow waters around Exumas or Andros Barrier Reef are perfect for snorkeling, revealing vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine animals.

How can we make the most out of our motor yacht charter in the Exuma Cays?

The Cays offer an unparalleled yacht charter experience with their exotic marine inhabitants and deserted islands. When chartering a motor yacht, you have the flexibility to explore far-flung locations such as Staniel Cay, Compass Cay, and the Land and Sea Park. Don’t miss the opportunity to swim with the world-famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, snorkel in the pristine waters of Thunderball Grotto, or simply relax on the sand beaches. For a truly immersive experience, consider a day charter to Norman’s Cay to discover its underwater plane wreck and historical allure.

What unique experiences does New Providence Island offer for a sailing yacht charter?

New Providence Island, home to the capital city, Nassau, is a vibrant hub for those on a Bahamas sailing vacation. A sailing yacht provides the perfect platform to explore the bustling markets, historical forts, and the luxurious Palm Cay Marina. For a touch of nature, the nearby Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama Island presents caves and mangroves to explore. Sailors can also enjoy the shallow draught motor yachts’ advantage, allowing access to hidden coves and private beaches around Paradise Island and the Rose Island area, known for its tranquility away from the main tourist spots.

What are the top destinations to include in our Bahamas yacht charters itinerary for a diverse experience?

What's in a name, a kittiwake is....

The catamaran has a special name that reflects its seagoing character.

According to Wikipedia, kittiwakes are a seabird species in the gull family Laridae. The name is derived from its call, a shrill ‘kittee-wa-aaake, kitte-wa-aaake’.

They have a white head and body, grey back, grey wings tipped with solid black, and a yellow bill. They can have either black or red legs.

In contrast to the dappled chicks of other gull species, kittiwake chicks are downy and white since they are under relatively little threat of predation, as the nests are on extremely steep cliffs. Unlike other gull chicks which wander around as soon as they can walk, kittiwake chicks instinctively sit still in the nest to avoid falling off.

Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the North Pacific, North Atlantic, and Arctic oceans. They are the only gull species that are exclusively cliff-nesting.

Guest Review:

“My husband and I, along with two friends, decided to charter Kittiwake and sail the Exumas. I can say without reservation it was one of the most enjoyable and restorative vacations we’ve ever taken. The new boat was ultra-comfortable and spacious, with plenty of places to curl up and read or watch the mind-blowing scenery unfold. And Kittiwake’s many amenities provided a luxurious touch. Most importantly, though, was the crew. From the moment we came onboard, the Captain and Chef took care of us in every respect. Their professionalism and commitment to our enjoyment never ceased to impress us.

There’s so much more I could say about this trip. Five out of five stars. It would be impossible to place a value on how much we loved it. We’ll be back.”  ~ Dave L. and Stuart M.

These boat options can carry guests from an intimate party of 2 to a large group of 30 guests onboard.

Bahamas Islands Map

Here are some Bahamas yachts to wet your appetite but contact us for the full list .

The Bahamas are made up of more than 700 islands and countless (over 2400) cays to explore and is rimed by one of the world's great barrier reefs. This impressive reef system surrounds the reef-and-key sheltered waters, providing 100 miles of relaxed cruising in the relatively shallow safety of The Sea of Abaco . This natural beauty draws in many luxury yachts, sometimes visiting from different parts of the world.

"The Bahamas has some of the most amazing beaches and warm inviting water of anywhere in the world. They are simply beautiful."

Caribbean Bahamas paradise with yacht

The Bahamian island chain begins with Bimini, just 45 miles from Miami , stretching all the way to the Turks, 500 miles to the southwest. The Bahamas is a brilliant charter location that has either excitement or serenity, depending on your mood, and is also within easy access for both American and European yacht charter vacations. Presently the Bahamas are very popular amongst crewed luxury superyachts, whether the boats are for charter or they are private owners' use. However, back in history, this is where Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492 and has in earlier days been an area sailed by swashbuckling pirates and privateers looking for places to bury their plunder in the many secluded anchorages. In many places little has changed since these early days and the Bahamas still features exceptional sailing on the warm Gulf Stream, turquoise waters and moderate winds.

Favourable Conditions for Yacht Charter Vacations

The islands of Bahamas are known for their favourable sailing conditions and the shallow waters in many parts make for an interesting watch of marine life below the surface.  Bahamas boast of more than 2,400 cays and this is another reason why you should do your next yacht charter vacation here. The cluster of islands is also home to some of the barrier reefs that are made from a corals formed over several thousand years ago. The reefs offer natural protection from the lashing waves of the open sea and they also provide shelter to many small marine species. From Bahamas yachts can cruise for around 100 miles right towards the shallow waters of the Abaco Sea.

renting a yacht in the bahamas

The island cluster of Bahamas begins from Bimini which is 45 miles from the coast of Miami. The cluster then extends to the Turks which is 500 kilometres distance. If you are looking for a serene place to spend your yacht holidays then Bahamas is a great choice. The location is such that it is easily reachable from most of the US coastal cities. It can also be accessed easily from the charter destinations in Europe. As mentioned before, Bahamas consists of more than 700 islands and a total of 2,400 cays. There are so many things to do and explore in the Bahamas while on your Bahamas yacht vacation. You can go for deep sea fishing and also include a day tour of Nassau. Shopping is perfect at Bay Street along with an exciting night at a casino.

Catamaran Charters

The Bahamas has some of the most amazing beaches and warm inviting water of anywhere in the world. They are simply beautiful. Perhaps one slight drawback is that some of the most alluring are relatively shallow. Larger private luxury yachts can be slightly disadvantaged as a result and may have to anchor well of shore or avoid certain particular areas. This makes shallow draught boats the ideal way to see the islands. Catamarans make an ideal choice of boat to rent, if you love sailing, as they don’t have the deeper keels of larger sailing yachts. Shallow draught motor yachts are also able to charter well here. There are some larger catamarans available as well as different superyachts that visit the island chain each year.

On Land Discoveries & History

The Arawak people originally settled the Bahamas. The islanders are well known for their laid-back friendliness and hospitality, to this day. Before or after your yacht charter, inland you can see the Sunbury Plantation House which is a great Jacobean mansion that was built in the days when sugar was king and a cottage was the size of a castle. Also you can whet your whistle at the well-known Mount Gay Rum Distillery, where you can sample the many varieties of the island's most famous libation.

When it comes to natural wonder the Barbados has plenty to offer. You can explore Harrison's Cave, a unique phenomenon of nature, where colossal stalactites hang from the ceilings, stalagmites thrust up from the ground, and streams of crystal-clear water drop from breath-taking falls into emerald green pools. At Orchid World, the meandering paths are abundant with Phalaenopsis, Cattlyeas and Dendrobium orchids, while Andromeda Gardens showcases some of the island's rarest tropical ferns, heliconias and cacti. At Whim Gully, examine closely the bearded fig tree from which the island is believed to get its name.

Hence, you will anticipate a blissfully slower pace of life that harmonies with the calm tide, along with a fiesta of brilliant color and soft calypso.

The Bahamas are best for a perennial family and also for jet-setters. You can witness beautiful coral cay silhouettes, sparkling covers, azure shallows, and iridescent bays on this exotic island.

The next day, we did a shark feeding dive and also saw some ship wrecks. A big wow!!! Thanks Yachts Bahama Charters. Highly recommended.” Francisco

Have you been dreaming of sailing around the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean? With Océans Evasion, this dream can quickly become reality! Look through our many options for charters in the Bahamas and set sail to your dreams.

The Bahamas is an archipelago made up of over 700 islands and is located just north of Cuba and south of Miami, Florida. Known for its pink sand beach on Harbour Island , its exotic landscape, and its breathtaking turquoise waters, the Bahamas is the perfect getaway.

We recommend making Nassau , the capital of the Bahamas, the start of your yacht holiday. Here you’ll be able to experience the tropical ambiance, dreamy beaches, as well as luxury resorts before setting off on your boating trip. The locals in the Bahamas are known for their hospitality and welcoming attitude and are sure to make you feel right at home during your charter experience while sailing around the numerous isolated islets and unexplored coves.

Where to sail in The Bahamas?

Choosing where to sail your private yacht in the Bahamas can sometimes feel overwhelming, with its 700 islands, it’s normal to feel a bit confused. A few popular locations to start your luxury yacht charter from are Nassau, Marsh Harbour, and Freeport.

For some ideas on where to sail during your charter experience, check out the list below:

  • The Great Abaco – this island group is a great place to explore and the perfect place for diving aficionados. While here make sure to also visit Green Turtle Cay, Tahiti Beach, and Elbow Cay.
  • Eleuthera – known for its pink beaches, this island is the best place to go if you’re looking for a visually stunning beach experience. You can drop your anchor at Windemere Island, a popular destination with celebrities.
  • Big Major Cay - this uninhibited island in Exuma is famous for its swimming pigs! Never heard of them? Now is the time to see this fascinating phenomenon! You can also head to Staniel Cay to see them.
  • Thunderball Grotto – located just west of Staniel Cay, this underwater cave system is the perfect location for people who are looking to go snorkeling, diving, or wading. The area is teeming with exotic marine life that will leave you stunned.
  • Dean’s Blue Hole - this charter destination is located off of Long Island, this hole is one of the deepest blue holes in the world, measuring about 663 feet in depth!

For people looking for a longer adventure on their private yacht, start your trip either in Fort Lauderdale or Miami and set sail towards the Bahamas. The journey is around 50 nautical miles long and can be completed in a day or even in a few hours depending on the type of boat you choose to rent.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in The Bahamas?

The cost of a boat rental in the bahamas will vary depending on several different factors. some of these factors include the type, size, and model of the boat, the duration of the rental, gas price, as well as additional services such as hiring a captain and/or crew. choosing to add other amenities such as water toys will influence the final rental cost. below are a few example rental costs by boat type:.

  • Catamaran with accommodation for 12 people: $1,258/day
  • Motorboat with or without a captain, $4,079/day
  • Luxury motor yacht: $10,479/day

The harbors in The Bahamas

With over 700 islands and many well-known coastal cities and towns, you can bet that finding a harbor or marina in the Bahamas is a pretty simple task. That being said, we do recommend scouting out a few before the start of your charter as it will help you orient yourself better.

Here are some in the area:

  • Nassau Harbour
  • Bay Street Marina
  • The Marina at Atlantis
  • Compass Cay
  • Harbour Bary Marina
  • Great Harbour Cay Marina

What can you see/do in The Bahamas?

If you’re looking to relax and for a good time, the Bahamas is the place for you! During your sailing trip, take some time to dock your boat and explore the islands on foot.

Check out some of the following places and things to do in the Bahamas:

  • Shop at the Port Lucaya Marketplace
  • Enjoy a Bahamian Fish Fry on Arawak Cay
  • Swim with sea lions, stingrays, and dolphins at Blue Lagoon Island

  • Visit Fort Fincastle and the Queen's Staircase (1793)

Renting a boat with a skipper

Skip the cruise ships and set sail at your own pace with your own private boat rental. With Océans Evasion, you can choose to rent with or without a captain and/or crew. Having a local in your midst while sailing in The Bahamas is a great opportunity to discover different anchorages and sites that you might not otherwise have visited; like Abacos, Exuma, Biminis, San Salvador, and Cat Island can not be missed.

So sit back and relax while the skipper and crew take care of everything: docking, anchoring, navigating, etc. Your charter in The Bahamas will be one to remember!

What boat should I rent?

The boat you rent will depend on the types of activities you would like to do and the duration of your rental. Some boats are better for water sports, for example, while others are better for overnight charters. When choosing your boat, make sure to take into account how many people will be onboard, what activities you would like to do, what extra amenities you will need, etc.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the boat owner directly for any specifications you may need.

When is the best time to go?

The great thing about sailing in the Bahamas is that you can do it year-round! The archipelago’s consistently warm weather makes it a perfect winter getaway with temperatures as high as 80°F and no lower than 60°F.

January tends to be one of the best months to visit the islands as they’re not to busy and the dry season has just started. May and June are when temperatures start to reach the 90s and the start of the rainy season. From September on, it's the off-season and a nice time to travel, but beware of possible weather conditions like hurricanes!

Brax rescued the day after someone else cancelled at the last minute. He turned around an incredible day on 2 hours notice! We got to do everything we had originally planned and then some, all with a friendly and welcoming crew! They went the extra mile to show the kids turtles and snorkeling spots were full of fish!

Day charter around Nassau with lunch and unlimited Bahamian rum punch

We had such an amazing day charter on Lil Dail! From the moment we stepped on board, they were so welcoming and set the tone for a fun day. We enjoyed cruising around and while we anchored we all enjoyed snorkeling. The lunch was delicious and our drinks were never empty. Captain Dail made our trip so fun, he has so much personality and also taught us a lot about the history of the Bahamas. Our host was so attentive and also made the charter so fun! We will definitely try to book them again next time we are in the Bahamas!

If you are visiting the Bahamas as a family or small group of friends, do yourselves a favor and skip the "cattle car" charters - older boats with seating for 20+ strangers jammed in together. Captain Leslie runs a true private charter experience onboard a supremely nice 32' Everglades boat at a very reasonable price. Plenty of room to relax and spread out, which makes the day on the water so much more enjoyable. Plus you can change up the itinerary on the fly if need be as Captain Leslie is extremely accommodating and professional. My family spent a wonderful day with him on the water and we highly recommend his charter.

We had an excellent time with Leroy. We were only 2 people but the boat was great and the whole experience felt fully catered to us. The spots chosen were incredible and the snorkeling was a highlight for sure. Would 100% recommend booking with Leroy and I’ll definitely go out again when I’m back

Jennifer

Book it now. Our day on the water with Antoine and Chris was the highlight of our family vacation. They are total professionals focused on local knowledge and safety. Somehow, at the same time, they are just SO MUCH FUN. They had my four kids in the palms of their hands the whole time. They were so patient and helpful with confidence building, snorkeling gear user errors, turtle spotting, and marine education. They were kind and flexible and had the perfect positive energy. They are also excellent DJs. I trust them and am booking them again for our last day on the island. Thank you guys!!!

We had a wonderful day with Terrence on his boat. He is nothing short of excellent. He gave us so much information on the history of the island and took us to the most beautiful locations to snorkel and see the sea turtles. It was a perfect day. Thank you Terrence!

The community's advice on the destination

with SamBoat. Bahamas is the ideal destination to charter a catamaran and explore the Caribbean. As one of the most popular sailing destinations, you'll have access to a wide inventory to hire a catamaran. Rent a catamaran for a day or a week in comfort with flexible cancellation.

Charter a catamaran in the Bahamas

The Bahamas is a country made up of a chain of islands located in the West Indies archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. The Bahamas are easily accessible by land or sea, with annual flights, ferries and boats arriving from the United States, Europe and Latin America. These islands welcome thousands of tourists each year for their beautiful white sandy beaches. Charter a catamaran in the Bahamas and enjoy all its stunning beaches.

You can rent a catamaran in the Bahamas and plan an itinerary of one or several days to discover all the islands and experience an exciting adventure in the crystal clear ocean.

When looking for a sailing vacation full of incredible beaches and clear waters in the Caribbean, renting a boat in the Bahamas is always on top of the list. Only 50 miles away from the coast in Florida, the Bahamas are easily accessible and have all of the qualities to be a sailors paradise. With over 700 islands, the area is made for island hopping and discovery. Pair that with the perfect climate and you’ll have a memorable experience. 

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the Bahamas?

When chartering a catamaran in the Bahamas, the prices will vary depending on a lot of factors. First, depending on when you sail, the season will dictate the price. The Bahamas follow the typical sailing season of the Caribbean traditionally having the high season from December to April. Even though some people will sail year round, it is important to keep in mind that the waters outside of this time will not be as calm and it is even more important to avoid hurricane season.

On average, if you plan on hiring a catamaran during the high season, you can expect to pay around 6,000 euros a week and 3,000 to 4,000 outside of December to March. The prices will of course vary depending on the size of the boat, the amenities and whether you’ll need a skipper. You can also hire a sailboat in the Bahamas and create an itinerary to sail around. 

Do you need a license to rent a catamaran in the Bahamas?

In the Bahamas, a license is not specifically requested, but you will have to show a proper resume highlighting your previous experience and qualifications. Since the area is windier with currents, you’ll have to showcase experience with the type of boat you would like to rent. If you do not possess experience with a catamaran, you can always opt to hire the catamaran with an experienced skipper that will take care of everything. 

Renting a catamaran in the Bahamas

Discover the unspoiled natural beauty of the Bahamas on a catamaran. Once you arrive, you’ll have plenty of activities to partake in including discovering it’s marine life or just appreciating all of the beaches available.

Chartering a yacht in the Bahamas is a dream for many enthusiasts due to the Crystal clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and world-class charter destinations. To truly enjoy the experience, understanding the best time to charter a yacht in the Bahamas is essential. The right timing can make a significant difference in your experience.

Bahamas Yacht Charter

Understanding the Best Time to Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas

The Bahamas has a year-round tropical climate, making it a great place to visit anytime. However, the seasons can greatly influence your yachting experience. The warm temperatures and gentle trade winds make it inviting, but the time of the year is important.

The Yacht charter season tends to be busy over Christmas and New Years with premium charter rates for these holidays.. The most popular time to charter a Yacht in the Bahamas is from late March through August, with favorable weather. Moreover the cold fronts are less in March and April offering perfect conditions for exploring the turquoise waters and beaches.

The summer months of June, July, August, September and October have advantages. Despite the hurricane season, it offers solitude and calmer waters. The best months for yacht charter in the Bahamas during the low season are May and early June before the hurricane season intensifies.

Navigating Hurricane Season

Hurricane season in the Bahamas is from June to November, peaking between August and October. Monitoring the weather and being flexible with your itinerary are key strategies.

Event-Driven Charters: Finding the Best Time to Charter a Yacht in the Bahamas

Timing your yacht in the Bahamas around local events can enhance your experience. The Junkanoo Festival in December is a cultural highlight, while the Regatta in April and May is a must-see for sailing enthusiasts. Chartering a boat during this period allows anyone to immerse in the vibrant culture.

Exploring Bahamian Destinations by Season

The best time to explore the Bahamas varies by destination. The Exumas and Nassau are appealing due to clear waters and mild weather in the winter months. Spring is perfect for visiting the Abacos, for world-class scuba diving and charming islands. In the summer, the less-visited Out Islands offer a tranquil escape, while fall provides a quiet, peaceful atmosphere to avoid crowds.

Marine Life and Water Activities: Optimal Times for Chartering a Yacht in the Bahamas

The seasons in the Bahamas affect marine life and water activities. The best months for a yacht charter in the Bahamas for snorkeling or scuba diving are November to May when the waters are clear and abundant. It’s the ideal time to explore coral reefs and encounter species.

Navigating Yacht Availability and Pricing in the Bahamas

Types of Yachts and pricing in the Bahamas fluctuate with the seasons, so planning is essential according to your preferences. During the winter season from December to April, the demand for luxury boat rentals soarr with limited availability. To secure the best deals, booking early is crucial.

Alternatively, the low season from May to November often features more yacht availability. For those who enjoy spontaneity, last-minute charter options can be appealing. However, these may come with a higher price tag or fewer choices, as popular ones may already be booked.

Savoring Bahamian Cuisine: Timing Your Culinary Experience

Experiencing the local cuisine is a highlight of any Bahamian yacht charter. Fresh Bahamian seafood , including conch and lobster, reaches its peak quality from late summer through early winter. This is the ideal time to enjoy succulent dishes crafted from the freshest ingredients. Seasonal delicacies, such as rock lobster and stone crab, are best sampled during their prime harvesting periods.

Additionally, timing your charter to coincide with local food festivals, such as the Junkanoo Festival in December or the Bahamas Carnival in May, offers a unique opportunity to dive into the island’s rich culinary traditions and vibrant scene.

Maximizing Your Yacht Charter Experience

To maximize your Bahamas charter, choose the right yacht for the season. Motor yachts are popular for their speed and comfort, allowing you to explore multiple islands easily. Planning your Bahamas itinerary around the best times ensures you experience at its finest.

The Exuma Bahamas Beach Pigs: Everything You Need to Know

W hen you look up the Bahamas , at least one of the images you’re likely to see is of what looks like very happy pigs swimming off a pristine Caribbean beach. I don’t know about you, but when I found out the Bahamas beach pigs weren’t just some AI creation, seeing them in person immediately went on the bucket list. I started digging into why they were there, how to get to them, and how much it cost. In this guide, I’ll reveal everything you need to know to enjoy this extraordinary experience.

Only about 25 pigs and piglets are there, roaming free and not held in captivity. Despite being wild, the pigs are extremely friendly. This is because their primary food source is the food that visitors feed them. You typically won’t see any other animals on the island, except maybe a few stray cats and the occasional goat.

Where is Pig Beach

Pig Beach is located on an uninhabited island called Big Major Cay, also known as Pig Island, part of the Exuma Cays. There have been other swimming pig attractions popping up across the Bahamas. However, these are merely tourist traps. The pigs are usually held in captivity rather than enjoying the freedom to roam as they please like the originals.

Why There Are Pigs on a Beach in the Bahamas

Pigs are not a native species to the Bahamas, so you might wonder how they ended up there. Nobody really knows for sure. But, the most popular theory is that they were moved to the uninhabited island when locals complained of their smell on the nearby farming island of Staniel Cay.

Once the pigs were moved to Big Major Cay, the winds carried the smell away from Staniel Cay, resolving the issue. The farmers would have to boat to the island every day to feed the pigs, which led to the pigs swimming out to greet their providers. 

Another story that could explain the Bahamas beach pigs is that the pigs swam to the small island when the ship they were on was wrecked. Some also believe that early settlers dropped the pigs off on Big Major Cay to store them as food with the plan to pick them up later but they never managed to do it.

Where to Stay to See the Bahamas Beach Pigs

There are three different islands that I recommend staying at to see the Bahamas beach pigs: Staniel Cay, Fowl Cay, and Great Exuma . Staniel Cay and Fowl Cay are a mere 10-minute boat ride from Pig Island, but they are tiny and require a seaplane to reach.

Great Exuma is the largest island in the Exuma Cays, home to the city of Georgetown and an international airport. If you are uncomfortable renting your own boat to explore the Cays, I recommend staying on this island rather than the two smaller islands. The boat ride from Great Exuma to Pig Island is approximately two hours but usually involves other stops along the way.

The Bahamas offers some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Below I’ll go over a few resorts on the different islands that would all be excellent choices for your stay that includes a visit to Pig Beach.

Fowl Cay Resort

If you’re someone who wants secluded luxury with everything you could possibly need included, Fowl Cay Resort is the place for you. This resort is on its own private island, just a few minutes from Pig Beach. To make the trip to Big Major Cay even more convenient, a power boat is included in the price of your stay.

At Fowl Cay Resort, you’ll stay in a private villa equipped with unlimited snacks and drinks. Airport transfer from Staniel Cay, fishing gear, all your meals and beverages, access to tons of water sports equipment, and much more are included. The opportunities are endless at Fowl Cay for creating a dream vacation.

Book your stay: https://www.fowlcay.com/

Staniel Cay Yacht Club

This resort has something for everyone, whether you’re visiting by boat or airplane. You can also purchase a package plan with inclusions similar to Fowl Cay resort, such as your own power boat, three meals a day, and equipment rentals to explore the island.

Since Staniel Cay Yacht Club has its own marina, you can leave for a tour to Pig Beach and other Exuma destinations right from the property. Reef sharks and stingrays also frequent the area, so you might just see some marine life right from your front porch. There are four different restaurants on the property that offer top-notch dining experiences too.

Book your stay: https://stanielcay.com/

Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exuma

Located on Great Exuma, Sandals Emerald Bay is a large, all-inclusive resort that will have you wishing you could stay forever. Tours to Big Major Cay will pick you up right from the resort, making it a breeze to see the swimming pigs. You can also enjoy many activities that are included in the rates like scuba diving, golf, sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, and windsurfing.

You can choose between several different accommodation options, including standard rooms, honeymoon suites, and villas with butler service. There are 11 restaurants so you’ll never have to eat the same thing during your stay. Although the food is so good, you might want to return to some restaurants more than once. 

Book your stay: https://www.sandals.com/emerald-bay/

How to Get to Pig Beach

There are two ways to get to Pig Beach. You can either take a tour or rent a boat from Staniel Cay. Tours are available departing from almost anywhere in the Bahamas. However, unless you stay on one of the three islands listed above, you’ll have to take a seaplane to Staniel Cay, which makes the price much higher.

Renting Your Own Boat

Renting your own boat to get to Pig Beach is only recommended from Staniel Cay if you have a lot of boating experience and know how to navigate the islands. If that’s you, this option is ideal for exploring more of the Exuma Cays, going beyond Pig Island. 

You can travel at your own pace and it’s possible that you’ll save some money by renting a boat. Plus, you can also revisit the beach pigs as often as you’d like. If you aren’t comfortable navigating the islands on your own, some boat rental companies will provide you with a captain. Check with your resort to find out which boat rental options are near you.

Bahamas Beach Pigs Tours

Most tours to the Bahamas beach pigs come from Great Exuma. This is typically an all-day tour via a power boat that can include stops at Compass Cay to swim with nurse sharks, snorkeling at Thunderball Grotto, a stop at Iguana Island, and much more. Some of the most popular tours are:

  • Swimming with Pigs
  • Staniel Cay Adventures
  • Exuma Water Sports

Best Time to Visit the Beach Pigs

You can visit the beach pigs year-round as the weather is always warm in the Bahamas. However, you should know that hurricane season is from June 1st to November 30th. If a storm comes, tours will be canceled, and the pigs will be taken to shelter for safety. 

Tours generally run from 9 am to 5 pm. Therefore, if you rent your own boat, the least busy times to visit are early in the morning. The pigs are very active and eager to be fed, so you’ll get the most activity and love from the pigs at this time. The pigs become full and worn out as the day progresses, making them a little lazier. You most likely won’t see them swimming or being interactive by the afternoon. 

Cost to Swim with the Bahamas Beach Pigs

The cost of swimming with the pigs will vary depending on where you’re coming from and your method of transportation. The cheapest way to visit the pigs is to stay on Staniel Cay and rent a boat to get to Big Major Cay. However, you’ll have more to do and can stop at multiple popular destinations in the Cays by taking a tour from Great Exuma. 

Here is an average cost breakdown for a few different options to see the beach pigs:

  • Renting a boat: $250-$400 per day
  • Half-day tours: $150-$200
  • Full-day tours: $300-$375
  • Full-day tours from Nassau via speed boat: $350-$500

Other Things to Do Near the Swimming Pigs

The Exuma Cays have over 300 islands. There is much more to do in the area than swimming with pigs. You will likely see a few of the attractions mentioned here if you take a tour. In case you don’t get the chance to visit the beach pigs, these are some of the other things you should consider doing:

  • Swim with the Compass Cay reef sharks
  • Snorkel in Thunderball Grotto
  • Feed the rock lizards at Lizard Island (Leaf Cay or Allen’s Cay)
  • Go on a fishing trip
  • Visit one of the many secluded sandbars
  • Snorkel over a plane wreck off of Staniel Cay
  • Take an air tour
  • Dive for conches
  • Wander around the Exumas Cays Land and Sea National Park
  • Snorkel with a sunken mermaid and piano

Sheriff: 5 jailed in Keys part of ‘very well organized’ human trafficking operation

Janine Stanwood , Anchor/Reporter

Chris Gothner , Digital Journalist

MARATHON, Fla. – Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay says four men and one woman arrested on smuggling charges in the Florida Keys are part of a sophisticated human trafficking operation.

Ramsay’s agency announced the arrests on Tuesday . The quintet is accused of smuggling 13 Ecuadorian nationals and seven Chinese nationals into South Florida after the group landed via boat off County Road 905 in Key Largo.

Authorities said their arrests came after U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine agents stopped and detained the suspects in Florida City. An arrest report states the migrants had been loaded into two SUVs after being dropped off by a go-fast boat.

Officials identified the suspects as Victor Victor Febles Gualpa, 38, of West Palm Beach; Joel Gil Egued, 48, of Cape Coral; Dianelys Perez Escouredo, 44, of Miami; Omar Livan Ripoll Perez, 28, of Miami; and Humberto Tamayo, 48, of Miami.

“It appeared to be a very well-organized human trafficking, human smuggling operation,” Ramsay said.

The migrants reportedly came via the Bahamas.

The arrest report states that the Ecuadorian migrants told authorities that they had paid “$20,000 to be smuggled, $4,000 in Ecuadorian money to leave Ecuador, $3,000 in the Bahamas, $1,000 to the vehicle operator and $12,000 to get them to their final destination in the New York and New Jersey area.”

Authorities seized two vehicles, plus a “couple of boats,” Ramsay said.

One of the vehicles was a rental car, the other was a Chevy Traverse that is now being held in Marathon.

Ramsay said that local prosecutors are choosing to try the case because officials with the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office told Local 10 News that it can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation, which is standard.

The U.S. has seen a drastic surge in illegal border crossings by Chinese migrants since last year, with some politicians raising national security concerns.

Many arrive through Ecuador and across the southern border with Mexico.

But others are coming into South Florida, like a group of 10 Chinese migrants who landed on Sunny Isles Beach in May.

“It’s got to raise your eyebrow and (make you) a little concerned about what’s happening,” Ramsay said. “Why they are coming here? Is it just for a better way of life? Is it nefarious?”

Nestor Yglesias, a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations, said the agency is actively involved. Anyone with information about this suspected smuggling event is asked to call its tip line at 877-4-HSI-TIP.
