Yacht Charters

One stop you won’t want to miss while on a charter in the Bahamas is Shroud Cay.

Shroud Cay boasts amazing snorkeling, sea kayaking, hiking, and ultra-secluded white sand beaches.

Shroud Cay is known for its naturally occurring lazy river, called the “Washing Machine,” great diving nearby, and fun hikes. Not to mention, the uninhabited cay is home to several great beaches.

You’ll notice the island’s natural beauty as soon as you arrive. Wrapped in beautiful aquamarine water, the cay is pristine and almost always devoid of crowds.

You won’t find much in terms of amenities; in fact, aside from the mooring field, there aren’t any facilities here. But the natural beauty makes up for it. Shroud Cay is bisected by several mangrove creeks and salt marshes, offering the perfect place for a lazy paddle or tender ride.

Chartering in the Shroud Cay: When to Go?

Thanks to its sub-tropical climate, Shroud Cay yacht charters are perfect year-round. The high season for boat rentals runs from mid-November to mid-July, with peak season around New Year’s and Spring Break.
