Upper Exumas Private Charter | Warderick Wells, Shroud Cay & Norman's Cay

Overview

A flexible route through iconic Exumas waters.

The Upper Exumas are a strong choice for guests who want a mix of scenery, protected water, snorkeling, beaches and natural beauty.

Depending on the route, a day or multi-day plan can focus on shallow-water color, mangrove creeks, sandbars, beaches, wildlife, snorkeling and scenic sailing. The best plan in these shallow waters depends heavily on weather and timing, which is exactly where a flexible private charter makes sense.

For many guests, the Upper Exumas delivers the quintessential Bahamas experience: endless shades of turquoise, pristine beaches, protected anchorages, and the freedom to explore some of the most beautiful waters in the world at your own pace.
