We're going cruising the Exumas (an mostly uninhabited island chain in the Bahamas) in style aboard the luxury liveaboard Aqua Cat!
The new 102 ft catamaran, Aqua Cat, offers luxury accommodations, a spacious main salon and an extremely smooth ride. The eleven passenger cabins are some of the largest of any liveaboard in the world.
This trip is great for non-divers as well!
The Aqua Cat offers many activities besides scuba diving. You will have a great time exploring the 200 mostly uninhabited islands with their many beautiful beaches in the northern Exumas. The Aqua Cat has a 28' launch that can take you to isolated beaches where you can sunbathe, explore, kayak, or snorkel. You will enjoy feeding and photographing the iguanas on Allan's Cay. You can visit the headquarters of the Exumas Land & Sea Park on Warderick Wells and explore the many trails. You can also kayak the creeks that meander through Shroud Cay. These creeks are nurseries for many varieties of fish and sharks. For those interested in bird watching, the Exumas are a nesting area for many species of seabirds as well.
