The Moorings has a fairly new base on Nassau, The Bahamas, and from there it is a short hop by power cat to the fabulous Exumas. This chain that stretches some 100 miles south from Nassau is considered by many to be one of the world’s best cruising grounds.
Highlights include Highborn Cay, Staniel Cay with the famous pigs beach and the Exuma Land and Sea Park. The snorkeling is magnificent and, outside the protected waters of the park, the lobstering, fishing and conch finding are good fun. Proficient hunters will live off the land, so to speak.
Ashore you will find rustic beach bars and the occasional resort. But you don’t cruise the Exumas for the culture, you go there to commune with nature and the wonderful sea and birdlife.
Here’s a typical seven-day charter that will wet you whistle for Exumas chartering.
