Up The Exumas

Travel from George Town up The Exumas ending in Nassau. 4/5/25 - 4/12/25

The Journey: Setting sail from George Town, Great Exuma we will work our way north through The Exumas. Widely regarded as the Best of the Bahamas, The Exuma Cays boast 365 islands and cays to peek your curiosity and overload your senses. With each new view and experience, you will find yourself repeating "WOW"! Stopping in world famous destinations like Staniel Cay and Wardrick Wells inside the Exuma Land & Sea Park, you will enjoy pristine beaches, amazing marine life and sunsets that are out of this world.

The trip through The Exumas is an opportunity to connect with nature as dolphins gently glide with the boat and we anchor each night behind small islands in shallow bays filled with coral, fish, turtles and rays. With stops at the Thunderball Gratto for snorkelling and the Exuma Land & Sea Park where you can hike or snorkel, you will feel like you are in a luxury theme park followed by lazy afternoons anchored behind uninhabited islands with each empty beach rivaling any of the best beaches in the world. The real treat is how relaxed you quickly become in the easy routine of sailing for a few hours each morning followed by carefree afternoons spent exploring, enjoying and resting in paradise with friends.

The Boat: 2022 Bali 4.8

We will be traveling in luxury on a 2022 Bali 4.8 sailboat with 6 bedrooms and 6 baths. Bali's are famous for their spacious interior, large flybridge, well-appointed galley and of course, their innovative "Bali Door" that blends the indoor and outdoor spaces in a way that no other vessel can. She has 4 traditional cabins with ensuite bathrooms. 2 of the cabins enter from the outside cockpit, each with a private entrance while the other 2 enter from the salon like normal. The remaining 2 cabins are bunk bed style cabins with ensuite bathrooms. These cabins have the same bathrooms as the traditional cabins, but rather than a single queen bed, they are furnished with twin bed bunks and they have a small ladder for the top bunk.

The Cost: $4,500 per Cabin & $3,800 per Bunk Bed Cabin double occupancy. A discount available if single occupancy in a bunk room. Contact Jason to understand the costs for this option. The price includes all meals on the boat as well as all boat related expenses. This does not include your airfare, ground transportation, adult beverages, meals and entertainment while not on the boat. Ground transportation will be scheduled for the group once all flights are booked but will need to be paid for with cash at the time of transport by the travelers.

Any flight time from noon on will work as we will pull into the dock at Palm Cay Marina on the eastern shore of Providence Island (Nassau) at 8:30 AM and disembark by 9:00 AM. It is about a 45 minute ride to the airport and and you need enought time to clear US Customs in the Nassau airport. Billie and I are on Southwest at 2:20 PM.

Once we have everyones travel schedule, I will coordinate transportation but you will need cash to pay the driver as it is not included in the cost.
