August 27,2021

As we leave the Summer and the Mediterranean behind, why not check out these beautiful destinations that can provide you with the perfect Winter warmth. You can also find our recommended yachts for these areas.

THE BAHAMAS

With over 700 islands surrounded by crystal clear waters, the Bahamas is one of the best yacht destinations in the world. Exploring the coral reefs, deep blue holes, and the incredible sea life that this natural archipelago has to offer takes the charter experience to a whole new level. In recent years, some of the most beautiful hotspots have become the pink sand beaches of Eleuthera and the Pig Beach on the uninhabited island of Big Major Cay which provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences to witness the beauty that this island has cherished for so many years. The Bahamas is amazing for those who love diving as you can explore the underwater cave system in the Lucayan National Park or the Blue Holes of the South Abaco Cave Systems. For example, Dean’s Blue Hole is the deepest blue hole in the world, plunging 202 metres and is a unique experience for talented divers.  A charter in the Bahamas means that you can explore what you want when you want!
