Set Sail for the Exumas in 2026
EXUMAS Bahamas January 3-13, 2026
TWO 50' YACHTS, ONE FOR WOMEN, ONE FOR COUPLES
The Exumas are a stunning chain of islands and cays in the Bahamas, known for their breathtaking natural beauty and unique attractions. Here are some of the features that make the Exumas special:
1. **Crystal Clear Waters:** The Exumas boast some of the clearest waters in the world, showcasing vibrant shades of blue and turquoise that are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
2. **Uninhabited Cays:** Many of the small cays are uninhabited, providing a sense of seclusion and a chance to connect with nature. You can find pristine beaches and hidden coves, perfect for a day of exploration or relaxation.
3. **Swimming Pigs:** One of the most famous attractions in the Exumas is Pig Beach on Big Major Cay, where you can swim with friendly pigs. This unique experience attracts visitors from all over the world.
4. **Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park:** This protected area is a haven for marine life and offers excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. The park is home to diverse ecosystems, including coral reefs and mangroves.
5. **Stunning Beaches:** The Exumas feature numerous beautiful beaches, often deserted and perfect for sunbathing, picnicking, or a peaceful walk along the shore.
6. **Local Culture:** The Exumas also offer opportunities to experience the local Bahamian culture, with charming settlements like George Town, where you can explore local markets, enjoy delicious food, and interact with friendly locals.
7. **Natural Wonders:** The area is rich in natural wonders, such as Thunderball Grotto, where you can snorkel inside a cave made famous by James Bond films, and the striking sights of the limestone cliffs and rock formations.
Overall, the Exumas are a paradise for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful setting. Whether you're sailing, snorkeling, or simply soaking up the sun, the Exumas offer unforgettable experiences.

And FYI...
Here are some reasons why we love to travel and guide others.
Our passion for exploration and sharing experiences is a wonderful way to create lasting memories and connections with fellow travelers.
1. **Connection with Nature**: Islands often boast stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and diverse marine life. A ten-day sailing trip in the Exumas is the ultimate way to immerse yourself in these natural wonders, fostering a deep appreciation and connection to the environment.
2. **Freedom and Adventure**: There’s something exhilarating about setting sail and exploring new horizons. Traveling by catamaran gives you the freedom to visit remote islands and hidden coves that are often inaccessible by land.
3. **Cultural Enrichment**: Each island has its own unique culture, traditions, and cuisine. As you explore, you can share these experiences with others, enriching their understanding of the world and encouraging them to embrace new perspectives.
4. **Relaxation and Rejuvenation**: The gentle sway of the sea and the soothing sound of waves create a perfect environment for relaxation. You can help others unwind and disconnect from their daily stresses while enjoying the serene beauty of island life.
5. **Building Connections**: Traveling with others fosters camaraderie and shared experiences. Friendships are formed, while creating collective memories, and we bond over adventures and stories.
6. **Building Skills**: If you would like to, you have the opportunity to share in the sailing of the boat. Learning skills of setting and trimming sails, helmsmanship, navigation, and best practices for safety at sea can be very rewarding for those who are interested. We love empowering others on their path to their own adventures.
7. **Personal Growth**: Travel challenges us and helps us grow and evolve.
May we continue to learn and evolve, gaining new insights and experiences along the way.

Wind Godddess Retreats mostly focuses on taking women on large catamarans (47-52') and cruising in the best locations on the planet. However, taking couples is also an option. Croatia will once again be for our couples and friends (you don't have to be in a relationship) destination. Husband Eric who has a captain license and is an ASA instructor joins us so if you are into learning he's your man.
We will start our journey in the beautiful and enchanting town of Trogir, near Marina Baotic, very close to the Split airport. We'll island hop to ports in Hvar, Brac, Vis and Korcula. The plans include serene anchorages as well as tying up on the village quays in historical and fun waterside towns.
The water is beautiful and inviting on a hot day, yet not exactly warm. That said, it's not as much about the water as it is about the history and seaside villages that take your breath away. And the best way to see them is to visit by boat!
The website, and in particular the FAQ's page is currently dedicated to cruising in the BVI's so please contact me if you are interested in cruising in Croatia and I'll send you more information.
