Abacos
The island chain that make up the Abacos are sheltered by reef which gives 100 miles of calm sailing in stunning shallow turquoise waters which exclude cruise ships. Great Abacos is found at its center and is perfect for exploring ashore with historic plantation houses and rum distilleries to visit. These islands are located to the north of Nassau.
Exumas
The Exumas are located to the south of Nassau and boast 365 cays. This island chain is known for its laidback lifestyle, shallow turquoise waters, which restrict cruise ship access. A visit to Big Major Cay is a must to see the pigs that swim out to the yachts in search of food. With over 120 miles of white sandy beaches, perfect shallow reefs, this location is ideal for divers and snorkelers.
