ITINERARIES:

The itineraries below include the Northern Exuma Cays and points of interest we've come to love.

A variety of fun stops are planned with fast, exhilarating sailing between our shoreside and on-the-water adventures. The days are scheduled for both sailing and exploring. (And don't forget the eating.. with an award-winning chef on board!)

Recommended pick-up is Norman's Cay or Staniel Cay. Drop-off is either of these locations or Nassau.
