DEPARTURE BASE


Palm Cay Marina
We proudly announce the inauguration of our new base located at the Palm Cay luxury condos and marina property. It's so much more than just a point of departure for your sailing adventure. The fun and indulgence start as soon as you arrive; white sandy beaches, turquoise seas. Relax in the luxuriously appointed outdoing areas... Beauty, luxury, serenity...

Our new luxury base at Palm Cay is located a mere 35 minutes south-east from the Lyndon-Pindling Airport (NAS) and away from the noise, hustle and bustle of the congested Nassau city center. No more bridges and marine traffic when you leave or arrive back at the marina. You will no longer have to tackle the heavy currents or the jet skis and tourist boats when trying to reach or leave from your dock. Best of all, you will now be directly in line with the Exumas and only 25 nautical miles away from the start of this beautiful chain of islands. And you still wish to visit Nassau center and Paradise Island? The excitement is an easy 20-minute cab-ride away.

Emerald Bay Marina
Located in Great Exuma Georgetown. The Exuma Islands have everything that makes the Bahamas one of the premier yacht charter locations in the world: delightful small islands, pristine white beaches, interesting and historic places, exotic creatures, friendly locals. All 120 miles are a yachting paradise!



ASA SAILING COURSE


Vacation and learn to sail at the same time one a fun-filled week of cruising the Florida Keys or Bahamas under the friendly guidance of your own U.S. Coast Guard licensed sailing instructor. You'll learn the difference between a sheet and a halyard, practice basic navigation among a chain of glittering islands, review anchoring techniques as you stop mid-day to explore an undersea coral garden, master docking at a fine marina for dinner and dancing, and maybe even touch on celestial navigation as you stargaze from your boat, anchored in a moonlit cove. For more information, please ask one of our travel consultants for details.
