This itinerary includes the entire Exuma chain of over 120 nautical miles, so:

1. We only suggest this for those who enjoy lots of sailing!
2. Nassau to Georgetown one-way requires 10 days or more, and in prime season typically has delivery fees unless a second charter immediately preceded or followed yours.
3. Nassau - Georgetown - Nassau requires 16 days or more, but would have no delivery fees.

Arrive in Nassau. Meet Cliff and Liza and get settled in your cabin. You can dine on board or ashore, head out to Nassau's shopping, nightlife, and local seafood stands, or lounge on Paradise Island 's sugar-sand beach. These are all within walking distance of Solstice.

Set sail on your adventure to the Exumas! An early morning departure will give us a great day sail across the Yellow Banks to our first anchorage, between Allen's Cay and Leaf Cay. With the right wind, you'll arrive just in time for a late afternoon snorkel and dinghy ride to one of many private beaches and coves where wild iguanas emerge to greet you. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner at this peaceful, protected anchorage, and enjoy stargazing while lying on Solstice's large trampolines.

Follow your whim and join in morning yoga/fitness with Liza, or just relax over breakfast on deck. Try a kayak or scuba diving before we sail midday for our next island destination, Norman 's Cay. Explore this island's ruins of an infamous drug runner and snorkel on his partially submerged airplane in the harbor. A wonderful beach on the front side of the island provides a perfect spot for lounging and an island picnic.

Enjoy another invigorating sail down-island through the crystal clear blue Exuma waters. We'll stop off at the deserted island Shroud Cay, and explore the mangrove creeks with our kayaks and dinghy. A tropical picnic at " Camp Driftwood " beach is always a treat. We'll continue on to Warderick Wells, the headquarters for the Exuma Land and Sea Park. This picturesque harbor is perfect for cocktails at sunset and another delicious dinner under the stars aboard Solstice.

Explore the 4 miles of trails on Warderick Wells by foot and get some world-class photo opportunities of rare flora and fauna as well as discovering wells, caves and breathtaking views of Exuma Sound. Take time to scuba dive or snorkel in the Exuma Land and Sea Park to witness healthy, protected coral reefs and big, friendly animals underwater. We'll sail on to Staniel Cay through the cuts surrounding Pipe Creek, which provide a haven for anglers. If we're lucky, we'll catch tonight's dinner on this sail! We'll dock at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club marina and enjoy this small island's charming nightlife.

Stay and explore Staniel Cay more by daylight. Snorkel the famous Thunderball Grotto, a giant cave that was used in the famous James Bond film. You'll feel as if you're in a gigantic aquarium! Hike across the island for a spectacular view of Exuma Sound along a rugged, rocky coast just begging to be explored, or take the dinghy out for some of the best fishing in the Exumas. An afternoon sail South in Exuma Sound brings us to Big Harbour off Little Farmer's Cay. This island, steeped in history, has a wonderful little settlement and even better beaches, mangrove creeks, and coral gardens to explore. This is the true "out-island" experience, hardly touched by tourism.

From Little Farmers Cay, we'll set sail to our final island destination, Georgetown . We'll sail down the coast of Lee Stocking Island, the well-known marine research headquarters, with stops to snorkel pristine reefs and blue holes before arriving in Elizabeth Harbor for one last sunset. Relax aboard Solstice and enjoy dinner alfresco, or venture into the charming, bustling port of Georgetown for a little more action.

Awake to a final sunrise and breakfast aboard Solstice in Georgetown Harbour , then sail up to the dock. Reflect on all of your adventures, realizing that next year, you'll need at least 2 weeks on board!
