Another option is to sail to Staniel Cay famous to have submarine caverns such as “Thunderball Grotto” where the film James Bond was shot. We recommend having dinner in “Staniel Cay Yacht Club”.
Go on a short sailing towards Shroud Cay, an uninhabited rocky archipelago with incredible virgin beaches. You can take a walk to stare at the view from the peak of “Camp Drifwood”.
Sailing back to Nassau, stay the last night in Norman Cay. You can enjoy “Twinkie Beach” known to have the lonely palm tree. Likewise, you will have the chance to go snorkeling across the sunken plane remains, natural habitat today for corals and fish.
