Bahamas
Pristine Exumas & swimming pigs
About Sailing in Bahamas
The Exumas are the Bahamas at their most stunning. A chain of 365 cays stretching southeast from Nassau, this is where you'll find the famous swimming pigs, the clearest water in the Caribbean, nurse sharks you can swim with, and private-island beaches where you won't see another soul. It's remote, it's exclusive, and it's spectacular.
Season & Conditions
Peak December through March. The Exumas chain stretches 120 miles with 365 cays — one for every day of the year.

Swimming pigs at Big Major Cay — a bucket-list experience
Nurse sharks and iguanas at Compass Cay and Allen Cay
