Bountiful Bahamas

Cruise overview

From cave systems to swimming pigs, this roundtrip journey from Palm Beach uncovers a side of the Bahamas that goes well beyond its postcard reputation. Andros sets the tone early as the Bahamas’ largest and least explored island, its vast cave systems, expansive barrier reef, and dense pine forest interior creating a landscape of quiet drama unlike the rest of the archipelago. The sheltered harbor of Emerald Bay on Great Exuma offers a gentler introduction to the out islands before Gordon’s Beach, a secluded stretch of shore where the silence of the surrounding sea feels complete. San Salvador carries a quiet historical weight as the first landfall of Columbus in the New World, its modest size and unspoiled coastline understating its significance. The voyage returns to the Exumas at Staniel Cay, where swimming pigs, crystalline tidal pools, and a colorful waterfront yacht club have made it one of the region’s most celebrated stops, before Taino Beach on Grand Bahama provides one final anchorage ahead of the return to Palm Beach.
