Itinerary of your cruise
The Exuma Cays are the islands in the Bahamas that are often forgotten. From the swimming pigs at Big Major Beach to the vibrant marine life at Warderick Wells Cay Marine Park, your cruise will never cease to amaze you.
DAY 1 : Palm Cay Nassa
Embark at 6 pm at the port of Palm Cay. You'll get to know your fellow passengers and crew over dinner.
Optional: If you arrive before the boarding time, you can buy a pass for the beach, swimming pool and private bar (this pass can also be used on the last day after returning to base).
Day 2 : Palm Cay Nassau - Highborn Cay
For the first stop on your cruise, you'll drop anchor on the beach at Highborne Cay. You'll spend the day in idyllic surroundings, with turquoise waters and a soft sandy beach. This is the perfect time to try your hand at water sports, such as paddle boarding and kayaking, or take a stroll along the beach and take in the scenery.
DAY 3 : Highborn Cay - Shroud Cay
Today, you'll spend the day at Shroud Cay. On the programme: a tour of the surrounding mangrove swamps by dinghy or kayak, followed by a swim in the lagoon known as the "washing machine". This name was given to the lagoon because of the strong tidal currents that form a small ocean whirlpool. You can also take the opportunity to sunbathe on its gorgeous beach.
DAY 4 : Shroud Cay - Staniel Cay
A cruise in the Exumas would not be complete without a visit to Big Major Beach to see the famous swimming pigs. After this, you will have a snorkelling session in the Thunderball Cave. End your day with a scenic walk around Staniel Cay village.
DAY 5 : Staniel Cay - Compass Cay – Cambridge Cay
This morning, you'll discover Rachel's Bubble Bath, a natural pool with translucent water. You'll then head off to Compass Cay, where you can swim with nurse sharks, which feed mainly on crustaceans and small fish. You'll end the evening at Cambridge Cay, a peaceful anchorage perfect for spending the night.
DAY 6 : Cambridge Cay – Warderick Wells Cay
Set sail for O'Briens Cay (next to Johnny Depp's former island) in the morning for an unforgettable snorkelling session in this "natural aquarium". You'll then sail to Warderick Wells Cay, where more than 30 sandy beaches await you. Don't miss the exceptional view from the top of Boo Boo Hill before re-boarding for Norman's Cay in the afternoon. Here you'll have the chance to swim in the shallow waters, which are home to a plane wreck that once belonged to a drug cartel.
DAY 7 : Norman's Cay - Allan’s Cay
To round off your cruise in style, you'll set sail early to visit Allan's Cay in the company of the island's iguanas. You'll return to Palm Cay Nassau at the end of the day while enjoying your last dinner on board.
Optional: Transfer to Atlantis Paradise Island at 8 pm to visit its casino, tourist complex and aquarium. Return around 10 or 11 pm

Everything was amazing!!!!!
We were really surprised because we couldn’t expect such a wonderful vacation and organization.
It was our first time in Bahamas and on a private cruise, we were in 2 (me and my husband) and we didn't know the rest of the passengers. We were so lucky and the group, composed by other 3 couples, was great! Actually, everything was perfect!
The boat was great, the captain, chef and service were perfect, the itinerary was amazing… really nothing to add!
Trust Globesailor, is a team composed by professional guys and Sophie really take care of us!

Great sailing trip to the Exumas. Very friendly and experienced captain. The chef on the boat created amazing meals with fresh ingredients. Cabins are just the right size to feel comfortable (you don‘t spend much time there ;-) ). The Exumas were spectacular with Iguanas, amazing beaches, swimming pigs, snorkeling at nice reefs. We could even snorkel with reef sharks and black tips. All in all awonderful week on the boat!

Amazing cruise at the exumas
Evert
Feb 2023
We had an amazing experience during our cruise. Our captain Silvio was very experienced, relaxed, open for suggestions, and requested our assistance when needed. We visited beautiful places and stayed the nights at beautiful places as well. Seen a lot of sharks, ray's, and other fish. Catched our own diner (Mahi Mahi) and snack (crab). The catamaran was spacious and had everything to relax and enjoy. The only thing was if the chef liked her job, cause she was not that friendly. Quality of the meals was excellent, portions could be bigger.

Great trip and stunning views, but not very professional staff.

We had a great experience with the trip around the Bahamas Islands. The scenery was wonderful and the water was just outstanding. Very lovely and definitely one of the most beautiful places that we have ever visited. The view is stunning. The boat was also nice, the rooms were comfortable and the food served was fine.
However, some aspects of the service need to be improved. One guest was bitten by a pig on the beach because he did not know not to feed it out of the water. And nobody told us anything.
So overall - great trip, location, and boat - but the staff onboard ...

I have taken multiple sails before but nothing amounts to how amazing the exumas on the Bali 5.4. Was. The boat was so spacious and you never felt on top of one another. The rooms had enough storage and the galley was gorgeous. Our captain (Alex) and the chef (Tia) were the best and added to the entire experience. The most beautiful waters I have ever seen and the most relaxing vacation ever.

Tutto molto confortevole. Buoni spazi esterni e dotazioni per il divertimento ok. Skipper e chef eccellenti; disponibilissimi, simpatici e molto professionali. Unico neo: il problema dello scarico della toilette (ma credo sia comune a tutte le imbarcazioni di questo tipo).

Barca in ottime condizioni, comoda la camera superior, bravissimo lo skipper Alex che conosce alla perfezione le isole, unica pecca da segnalare la cuoca/hostess Tia per la totale mancanza di professionalità nei confronti degli ospiti italiani.

Indimenticabile

È stato uno dei viaggi più belli della mia vita. Il processo di prenotazione con la booking advisor Laura è stato semplice, chiaro e veloce.
L'accoglienza alla base molto calorosa e da lì il viaggio è andato oltre le aspettative. Il catamarano Lagoon 620 era spettacolare per pulizia e comodità. Ogni giorno si visitava un'isola diversa e a seconda delle condizioni meteo il Capitano Alex è stato impeccabile, un vero uomo di mare. Svegliarsi poi con la colazione preparata dallo chef Dudly è stato magico.
È stato il miglior modo per visitare le Exuma e sicuramente in futuro non esiterò a prenotare un'altra crociera con Globe Sailor!

Exumas catamaran cabin charter
Judith
May 2023
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche an Bord des Katamarans.
Der Empfang am Yachthafen war herzlich und einen besseren Kapitän hätten wir uns nicht wünschen können. Er hatte den Katamaran zu jeder Zeit im Griff und führte uns zu tollen versteckten Traumbuchten. Andere Highlights waren das Angeln und das Schnorcheln mit Schildkröten und Haien. Unvergesslich!
Die Hostess hat uns in der Woche mit drei super leckeren Mahlzeiten an Bord verwöhnt. Unglaublich, was sie in der kleinen Bordküche für uns gezaubert hat!
Einziger Kritikpunkt: der Zustand des Katamarans. Er war an einigen Stellen reparaturbedürftig. Außerdem hätten wir uns gefreut, wenn wir spezielle Getränkewünsche oder -bestellungen hätten äußern können. Mitreisende hatten im Vorfeld eine Liste bekommen, wir nicht.
Abgesehen von den genannten Kleinigkeiten würden wir die Kreuzfahrt uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! :-)

Vacances inoubliables, catamaran de qualité. Service parfait avec Tia à bord en tant que chef cuisinier qui n'a fait que nous surprendre de jours en jours. Notre capitaine Alex a fais son possible en fonction de la météo pour nous mener dans des endroits clairement paradisiaque. Ce séjour fut génial !

Exuma, fuga in paradiso
Maria Teresa
Mar 2023
Sentiamo innanzitutto di dover fortemente consigliare la meta della vacanza in catamarano, Exuma Cays, davvero un posto paradisiaco ed incontaminato, un arcipelago con mare dalle mille sfumature di azzurro...
L'accoglienza alla basa di Palm Cay è stata un pò caotica, nel senso che vi era solo un'addetta al desk mentre erano decine le persone che attendevano notizie circa gli equipaggi che si sarebbero formati, tuttavia poi siamo saliti velocemente in barca.
La zona accanto al porto di partenza, all'interno di Palm Cay, è davvero piacevole, sono accessibili una spiaggia dall'acqua cristallina, una piscina ed un bar/ristorante,
Il catamarano assegnato era nuovo, molto pulito ed ordinato e dotato di pinne/maschere per tutti, nonchè canoe e sup che ci hanno consentito di trascorrere bei momenti.
Abbiamo consumato tutti i pasti a bordo, ad eccezione di una cena che abbiamo avuto modo di concederci a Stanyel Cay. Numerosi i punti di scalo che abbiamo apprezzato, Thunderball Grotto, Compass Cay dove, oltre accarezzare gli squali nutrice, abbiamo potuto avere il privilegio di godere dell'enorme spiaggia deserta e poi la magnifica spiaggetta contornata da palme e popolata da magnifiche iguane!
Unica nota stonata... ci saremmo aspettati di mangiare pesce fresco per l'intera crociera, invece abbiamo consumato perlopiù pesce congelato, eppure altri turisti con cui ci siamo imbattuti hanno confermato la pescosità di quei mari e la loro facilità nel pescare.
Infine, tengo a precisare che, a causa di un difetto di comunicazione, non era stato precedentemente segnalato (come avevo invece chiesto esplicitamente) che non consumo carne animale, ad eccezione del pesce.

Charter by cabin di una settimana alle Bahamas: tutto perfetto. La società di charter è organizzata molto bene e l’accoglienza ed il check in è stato veloce e facile. La barca era perfetta, nuova e pulita. Ottima la compagnia e perfetto l’equipaggio. Skipper e chef sono stati splendidi, ci hanno fatto godere al massimo la magia delle Bahamas.

Superbe semaine dans l'archipel des exumas. Le bateau Lagoon 620 à vraiment tenu toutes ses promesses avec un confort à bord inégalable pour un catamaran de cette gamme.
L'équipage et les autres passagers ont tous été adorables.
Le petit plus a été de pouvoir nager avec des requins. Chose que je ne pensais pas faire là bas.
Juste merci beaucoup pour cette semaine !

Nous avons grandement apprécié notre voyage. C'est vraiment une très belle croisière. Le bateau est superbe. Nous avions un peu peur d’être les uns sur les autres mais finalement il y avait de la place pour tout le monde. Notre capitaine Alex est génial, très sympa et à l’écoute. Il n’a pas hésité à répondre à nos questions concernant les Bahamas et ses alentours ainsi que sur le bateau. Nadia notre Stewart/Cuisinière est une personne adorable. Elle nous a fait divinement bien à manger.
Une remarque cependant, même si ça ne change pas le fait que cette croisière est sublime, nous avons trouvé dommage de quitter la marina seulement le dimanche aux alentours de midi et d’y revenir le vendredi soir. Cela fait perdre 2 jours en mer. Nous aurions pu partir le samedi et revenir le samedi et visiter plus d’iles.
Nous avons vraiment adoré cette croisière. Et quand nous en referont une, car nous en referons une, nous choisirons Globe Sailor. Nous remercions aussi Marion et Emmanuelle, nos conseillères sur ce voyage, toujours disponible et à l’écoute.

La verdad que ha sido un crucero inolvidable, el mejor viaje de mi vida. Hemos ido a sitios preciosos que el capitán del barco conocía, hemos nadado con tiburones, mantas raya, tortugas, cerdos, mil peces de colores... Aguas totalmente cristalinas y playas de arena blanca y fina.
Hemos tenido muchísima suerte tanto con el capitán como con la cocinera. El primero, Patrick, tenía muchísima experiencia de capitán, de guía de tiburones, de guía de buceo, sabía hacer absolutamente de todo y te daba muchísima confianza. La segunda, Vicky, es una nutricionista que nos ha hecho unas comidas deliciosas a la vez que sanas.
Además el barco es una auténtica pasada, moderno, confortable, bastante espacioso para ser un barco y con todo lo necesario para divertirse. Sí que recomiendo llevarse una máscara de snorkel de cara completa, ya que las que tienen ellos son un poco malas y se empañan constantemente.
No le doy las 5 estrellas por dos razones, la primera que la gente de la recepción que nos atendió el primer y último día en la marina eran muy bordes y la segunda que de las 7 noches que pasas a bordo del barco 2 de ellas el barco está atracado en la marina, con lo cual son 2 días totalmente perdidos de 7, lo cual me parece bastante. Desde mi punto de vista deberían de tratar de arreglar este punto, ya que todos los que íbamos en el barco nos quejamos de eso.
Por todo lo demás, ha sido un crucero de 10!!!

Frequently asked questions
Is everyone on board English-speaking?
Please note that this cruise is not exclusive to English travelers. It is quite common to meet people of various nationalities on board as we offer cruises to international clientele - encouraging curious and enriching exchanges for both passengers and crew.
Crew members are multilingual and qualified to offer multilingual service.
How is my transfer from the airport to the boat organized?
The transfer can be arranged by your GlobeSailor advisor and the base manager by taxi or minibus. Payment for this service is generally to be made to GlobeSailor at the time of payment of the balance or directly on site in cash. Don't forget to forward your arrival times to your advisor.
What does the skipper do? And the hostess?
All the skippers we offer are registered and hold the necessary professional certificates. They speak fluent English. If you have any special requirements regarding the skipper, please let us know. The skipper is responsible for navigation and your safety on board. Feel free to participate with him in the manoeuvres, he will be happy to teach you the basics of navigation. Concerning the organisation, the skipper sleeps on the boat, either in a separate cabin or in the saloon. The skipper is not in charge of cooking or washing dishes. On request, a hostess (or cook) can prepare your meals, clean the saloon, clean your cabins and more generally ensure that the boat is in good order. all our cabin cruises include the services, at a minimum, of a skipper and a hostess (unless otherwise specified in the contract)
Does the boat operate only with the sails?
It depends on the weather. When the winds are strong, the skipper will use the sails to sail silently. On days with calmer winds or to reach the stopovers on schedule, the skipper may need to use the engine. The engine is also used when entering and leaving the marinas. We cannot guarantee a minimum time of using the sails. The skipper will do their best to use the sails as much as possible and involve passengers in manoeuvres.
How are meals organized on the boat?
Most of our cabin cruises include full board and the services of a hostess - cook. Alcoholic beverages are sometimes extra. Check the terms and conditions of your quotation carefully. On request, your advisor can send you the menus proposed on board. They are often prepared with fresh and local products. Please inform us as soon as possible if you are allergic to any food or if you are on a special diet.
Are the menus adapted to special dietary requirements?
We strive to offer the best possible services on our cruises and providing special dietary options are part of this. Please inform your charter advisor of any dietary restrictions or requirements well in advance of the cruise, so that the crew may be informed and make the necessary adaptations to the menus provided.
Please note that the preparation of adapted menus adds a certain level of complexity for our hostesses/cooks, who will prepare meals for 12 guests on board. Sourcing good quality substitute products also incurs additional costs. It is therefore necessary for us to charge a supplement, in order to guarantee that all our guests on board receive the same level of quality service.
Can I bring alcohol on board?
No passengers are allowed to bring bottles of alcohol on board.
What payments must I make in order to confirm my booking?
To confirm your booking you should inform your GlobeSailor advisor who will put an option (hold) on the cabin for a certain time until we receive your down payment.

The balance should be paid no later than one month before boarding.
What happens if I need to cancel my cruise?
If you wish to make a cancellation, you should contact your GlobeSailor advisor as soon as possible.
