Your luxurious yacht cruise begins on the southern shores of the United States in Miami, a world-famous metropolis popular for its expansive beaches, vibrant nightlife, cultural diversity and striking waterfront skyline. Here, you’ll be transferred to your Emerald luxury yacht for the start of your enthralling Caribbean discovery. 

Please book your flight to arrive into Miami prior to 02:00 PM.

Grand Bahama Island is a tropical retreat with beautiful beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters and lush landscapes. You can stroll along serene shores, explore local shops, or simply relax and soak in the island’s natural beauty. It’s the perfect destination for your first experience of the flavours and charm of Bahamian culture.  

Andros, the largest island in The Bahamas and affectionately called the ’Big Yard’, is a lush and largely untouched paradise. Its pine forests, mangroves, and striking blue holes offer a haven for nature lovers and outdoor explorers alike.

Discover the island’s vibrant culture through Androsia, the hand-dyed cotton fabric unique to the island, and sample local flavours, including the renowned Andros land crab. With its combination of natural beauty and cultural charm, Andros provides a truly immersive island experience. 

Eleuthera, a narrow island just three kilometres (1.8 miles) wide, is a paradise of pink and white-sand beaches and stunning turquoise waters. Famous for its dramatic cliffs where the Atlantic Ocean meets the shore, Eleuthera also boasts a rich history as the site of the first republic in the New World. With more natural wrecks than any other Bahamian island and a proud tradition of pineapple plantations, you can savour the island’s famous pineapple tarts whilst enjoying its natural beauty. 

Part of Exuma Cays, Staniel Cay is a hidden gem in The Bahamas, south of Nassau. It is home to a small village and a yacht club, and is famous for the swimming pigs, who have become an attraction, paddling in the translucent water of nearby Pig Beach. On Staniel Cay, you can enjoy serene beaches and a rustic, authentic Bahamian lifestyle.

The capital of the Bahamas, Nassau is a vibrant city and top tourist destination, renowned for its stunning beaches, offshore reefs and pastel-coloured British colonial architecture. Here, you can explore historic sites such as the Queen's Staircase and Fort Charlotte, shop at the straw markets for local crafts, or just relax on the city’s famous Cable Beach. With its lively nightlife scene, delicious local cuisine specialising in fresh seafood, and warm, welcoming locals, Nassau offers visitors the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement. 

Welcome to Bimini, a spectacular chain of islands on the westernmost fringes of The Bahamas, beloved for its pristine beaches, transparent turquoise waters teaming with diverse marine life, and excellent opportunities for snorkelling and diving. While here, you’ll also have time to explore historic sites such as The Bimini Road, an underwater rock formation believed by some to be part of the lost City of Atlantis. Alternatively, you could just relax, unwind and take in the idyllic, laid-back island life.
