Exumas yacht charter

The Exuma Cays run south from Nassau: shallow turquoise banks, sandbars and private cays, the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park and the swimming pigs at Big Major Cay. A crewed week usually starts in Nassau and cruises down the chain. Tell us your dates and Emily will suggest yachts that suit the shallow banks.

FEBRUARY TO APRIL 2027

The next weeks to plan

Presidents' Day week, spring break and Easter (28 March) are the next popular windows. Send your dates and we check live availability across the whole fleet.

Christmas & New Year 2026/27

The first weeks to go

Festive weeks book months ahead and often carry longer minimum stays. Send us your dates today and we'll check live availability across the whole fleet, not just one yacht, and come back with an all-in shortlist.

Why the Bahamas

Closest to home

Under an hour's flight from Miami or Fort Lauderdale to Nassau.

Water you have to see to believe

The Exumas run 365 islands and cays across shallow, gin-clear banks.

Swimming pigs, nurse sharks at the dock, a James Bond grotto and sandbars at low tide.

Pricing, clearly explained

From $50K a week, and what that really buys

The charter fee covers the yacht and her full crew: captain, chef, stewards and deckhands, plus the yacht's water toys.

Bahamas cruising permits and any park fees are listed on your quote. The Bahamas banks are shallow, so we match the yacht to your route from what is available for your dates.

On top, you'll pay:

  • APA: an advance, typically 25–35% of the fee, for fuel, food, drinks and dockage. Every receipt is shown; whatever isn't spent comes back to you.
  • Cruising permits and park fees where the route requires them.
  • Crew gratuity, at your discretion. 10–20% is customary.

You see every one of those lines in writing before you sign. That's the MY OCEAN promise: one all-in number, no surprises on board.

Charter with crypto.

Pay your charter in BTC or USDT, or by wire. Whichever suits you. We handle the conversion and paperwork, and you get the same charter agreement and APA accounting either way.
