Planning the perfect charter requires specialist knowledge, trusted contacts on board and on the ground, as well as first-hand knowledge of yachts, crews and locations, as well as legal contracts and local regulations to build an experience that suits you perfectly. Another reason to choose a broker is that sometimes there can be unforeseen issues with yachts or destinations and having an experienced broker to protect your interests and build a plan B is hugely reassuring.

Yes, the Exumas are exceptionally well suited to first-time yacht charter guests. The cruising distances between islands are short, navigation is straightforward, and the region offers a wide variety of calm anchorages and sheltered bays. Combined with consistently warm weather and a relaxed pace of life, this makes the Exumas an ideal introduction to luxury yacht chartering, whether you’re travelling as a couple, family, or group of friends.

The waters of the Exumas are generally calm and crystal clear, particularly within the protected island chain, where yachts are sheltered from open-ocean swell. Sea conditions are typically smooth, with gentle breezes and excellent visibility, making the area ideal for swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding, and other water sports.
Calmer conditions are most common between November and May, when trade winds are lighter and weather patterns are more settled.
