Yacht Charters
Most yacht charters in the Bahamas stop at Staniel Cay, a paradise in the middle of the beautiful Exumas.
Staniel Cay was established in 1783 and gained popularity in 1956 when the Staniel Cay Yacht Club was founded. A small group of residents live on the island year-round and run an assortment of businesses that cater to visitors, including shops and restaurants. While many guests arrive via water, some choose to fly into Staniel Cay Airport.
The beaches of Staniel Cay extend nearly the entire length of the island, allowing you to stake out your own little slice of paradise.

Explore with a Boat Charter: Staniel Cay
The Staniel Cay Yacht Club
A popular meeting place for locals and yacht charter guests.
Yachters are well-acquainted with the Staniel Cay Yacht Club’s full-service marina, but it is also a boutique resort with 14 bungalows and a clubhouse with a restaurant and island bar.
It’s a popular meeting place for locals and yacht charter guests alike, and a favorite spot for celebrities who want to get away from it all. The yacht club is a great starting point for yacht charter groups to explore all that Staniel Cay has to offer.
Big Major Cay/Pig Beach
Nearby Big Major Cay, the official home of the swimming pigs.
The uninhabited island of Big Major Cay is the “Official Home of the Swimming Pigs,” and has become a must-visit destination for yacht charter guests to the Bahamas. The island is home to a family of adorable pigs that spend their days sunning on the sandy beach and swimming in the surf.
Although these pigs are feral, they are very friendly. When you arrive at Pig Beach, they will run from the shade to greet you, hoping for a treat. Join them afterward for a dip in the sea for an experience unlike any other in the world.
The family of approximately 20 pigs and piglets survive on this uninhabited island because of its three freshwater springs, and the food provided by visiting Bahamians and tourists. It is not known how the pigs came to live on the island, as they are not native to the area, but they are now one of the Bahamas’ most popular attractions. They have also inspired a children’s book and a song.
