Day 1

Nassau to Highborne Cay — Welcome Aboard

Board Drift in Nassau for a sunset departure. As we cross the Yellow Banks, enjoy handcrafted cocktails and your chef’s first gourmet creation. Anchor at Highborne Cay, where the silence of the sea takes over.

Day 2

Highborne to Norman's Cay — Sunken Planes

Snorkel the famous sunken drug runner plane at Norman's Cay. Spend the afternoon exploring the pristine beaches and sandbars of Wax Cay or hiking the ruins of Norman's for a touch of illicit history.

Day 3

Norman's to Warderick Wells — Natural Majesty

Enter the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. Hike to Boo Boo Hill for panoramic views and leave a drift-wood marker. The wildlife here is protected and fearless—expect to see majestic rays and curious hutias.

Day 4

Warderick Wells to Staniel Cay — Pigs & Grottoes

Sail to Staniel Cay to visit the world-famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay. Afterwards, dive into the cinematic Thunderball Grotto, an underwater cathedral of light and vibrant fish.

Day 5

Staniel Cay to Compass Cay — Nurse Sharks

Head North to Compass Cay. Swim with the gentle nurse sharks at the marina or explore the 'Rachel’s Bubble Bath' natural pool at high tide. A day defined by luminous water and soft adventure.

Day 6

Compass Cay to Shroud Cay — Mangrove Rivers

Explore the winding mangrove creeks of Shroud Cay by tender or paddleboard. This uninhabited paradise is a nursery for sea turtles and birds. Enjoy a final beach bonfire as the sun dips below the horizon.

Day 7

Shroud Cay to Nassau — The Final Sail

Savor a final breakfast on board as we make the smooth crossing back to Nassau. Share photos, swap stories, and enjoy the last few hours of barefoot luxury before we reach the marina.
