The Bahamas | Choose another destination

Just a short trip from the coast of Florida lies the Bahamas, a country of 700 different islands and more than 2000 cays, including Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach, all home to smooth, white beaches, Goombay punch, hundreds of years of democracy and the friendliest people you'll ever meet. At Freeport/Lucaya, warm days are enhanced by even hotter nightlife. And then there's the Family Islands, like the Abacos and Eleuthera, marked by elegance and style.

The islands differ physically, with pine forests, white sandy beaches, limestone caves, lush plantations, bonefishing flats and the world's third largest barrier reef.
Because each of the Bahamas retains its individual character, each has something unique to contribute to your charter vacation. From islands so secluded, only the lighthouse keeper has a telephone to those where everything swings, from casino to golf course, every journey here becomes a voyage of discovery. In fact, excellent game fishing and scuba diving abound with the best locations accessible only from your yacht.

The Abacos in the North, retain the cultural flavor and architecture of its former British colonial life. Protected, pristine waters, pink sand beaches and pastel colored cottages make this a delightful area for cruising, while Grand Bahama Island features Freeport and Port Lucaya with a modern marina, exceptional dining and entertainment.

Nassau, in New Providence, offers five star restaurants, casinos and superb duty free shopping. For a real treat, visit the outstanding resort of Atlantis on Paradise Island, with the largest aquarium in the world and a water slide through shark tanks!

The lower Bahamas stretch for hundreds of miles from the Exumas island chain to Great Inagua where you will find clear waters, tranquil anchorages and deserted beaches. [top]
