Climber823443 ON TRIPADVISOR

We rented a boat from Island Exclusive Rentals for the week. Communication was great and with it being our first time in Exuma they were very helpful with information and suggestions. The boat was delivered to our house as promised and was in great condition. Being able to keep the boat for the entire week instead of a one-day rental gave us the flexibility to see so much more and was the highlight of our vacation. I can't wait to return and I wouldn't rent from anyone else.

Charles M IMPECCABLE!

We used Island Exclusive around July 4th 2021 for a single-day tour of the Exumas chain; we also rented two boats for self-operated use for the rest of the week. I can't speak highly enough of Island Exclusive Boat Rentals. The boats were in great shape, the crew was kind and attentive, and Leah's service was extraordinary. I wish I could give them six stars, they were that good.

BRUCE B  AMAZING SERVICE & FUN

The only place we could locate that would allow overnight rental at our dock. They brought the boat, and picked it up. Service was prompt and everyone was genuine and friendly. We got four full days and felt no pressure to start late or end early. The boat was fantastic, well maintained and clean. Great for 6 adults to travel all around Exuma and the area Cay's and isles. If you need a boat rental, this is a fantastic choice.

The Exuma Expert AMAZING BOAT RENTAL!

We had an AMAZING time renting this gorgeous little thing from Island Exclusive Boat Rentals. We called the day before, and Leah and her team were so professional, responsive, helpful, and just made us feel very confident using them for the first time. The boat was clean, and we ABSOLUTELY LOVED the Bluetooth system that they have installed...didn't even need to bring our speakers. We'd definitely rent from them again, and recommend them 100 times over! Can't wait for the next time!

Jeff R BEST BAHAMA BOAT EXPERIENCE

Island Exclusive Rentals was a great experience. In the years of boating in the Exumas this was our best experience. The boat was clean, in great shape, full of fuel and in top shape. Elvis and Leah dropped the boat off right on time and the whole reservation and rental process was quick and easy. By far our best experience in the Exumas. I highly recommend them!

Exumas Boat Rentals Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement

  • exumasboatrentals.com

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

  • Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  • Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
  • Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  • Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  • Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
  • Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
  • Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to

Fantastic experience, friendly service.

Had a great time on the full-day tour. Crew is friendly and organized. Music and included drinks (water, soft drinks, beer and tropical mixed) and speeding over turquoise water definitely hits a vibe. The dock check-in crew is also very friendly and well-organized. The crew strikes a great balance, maintaining a fun vacation vibe while navigating a ton of distance over the water, accommodating tides (Thunderball Grotto is far away and only accessible at low tide), currents and the necessity of getting people back to Georgetown for day’s-end flights.

Experience of a Lifetime

We did the full day tour with coastline after our excursion was cancelled at the last minute by another company. It was our last day in the island so we were so thankful to them that they took us at the very last second. We had the best time ever! We saw so many things from starfishes, to the most beautiful sandbars, Thunderball Grotto, the famous swimming pigs, Iguana island, sea turtles, and more! Neo and Xavien were awesome and really did a great job at making us feel welcome and giving us some fantastic experiences. Thank you for an awesome day and memories that will last a lifetime!

Amazing Time

My husband and I were celebrating our 1 year Anniversary and we did the excursion with coastline! It was such an amazing time! The pick from our location was prompt and driver was so friendly. When we arrived at the location, the service was friendly and efficient. Once the tour started I could tell it would be a great day, the crew interacted with the guests and made us feel like family. The tour gave us the history and current information of all cays as we passed them. My favorite part of the trip was swimming with the sharks. Overall, the trip was safe , fun, informative and amazing! I would definitely recommend this tour! We loved it!!

Chartering in the Exuma, a Destination for Every Season

Charter yacht Sea Axis in the Exumas

You can rent a yacht in the Exumas any month of the year, although many seek out the warm weather in the Exumas during the winter. December, January, and February are peak charter months, especially around Christmas and New Year’s. Yet, late spring and early summer too are also favorite times for an Exuma yacht charter.

The Exumas are blessed with amazing weather and ideal cruising conditions throughout the year. Across all seasons, temperatures remain in the mid-70s to mid-80s, with steady trade winds and mellow seas. Thanks to a moderate tidal range, just 3.5 feet, the waters of the Exumas are calm and typically hover around 80 degrees year-round.

Yacht Charters in the Exumas – Things to Do & See

There are many things to explore, experience, and see while on your luxury boat rental in the Exumas. Here we listed some of our favorites.

Exumas Bahamas crystal clear water

Visit the Swimming Pigs at Big Major

The world-famous swimming pigs that call the beaches of Big Major Cay home are world-famous. Any yacht charter to the Exumas wouldn’t be complete without a swim with these cuddly potbellies.

Snorkel the Thunderball Grotto 

These underwater caves located near Staniel Cay were made famous by the James Bond film. Explore the vast cave network on an afternoon snorkel trip. The underwater caves are teeming with Angelfish and many other colorful species.

Swim with Nurse Sharks at Compass Cay

The private island of Compass Cay is home to a population of resident nurse sharks . Visit the cay and take a dip with the sharks. They’ll swim right up next to you, and you can even listen to their squeaks underwater. (Yes, they squeak!)

Visit Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park

This massive natural park is one of the best in the Bahamas, and it’s a must-visit outdoor playground on an Exumas charter. Snorkel, sea kayak, hike, and bike your way through the reefs, uninhabited islands, and trails of the park. The park offers the best snorkeling in all of the Exumas.

Snorkel the Sunken Plane at Norman’s Cay

Located just off the beach in Norman’s Cay, you’ll find a small single-engine plane, perfectly protected under the water. Snorkel, kayak or take a tender cruise to this must-see sight (which is believed to be a smuggling plane).

Feed the Iguanas at Allen’s Cay 

The beach-dwelling iguanas of Allen’s Cay are a sight to see. Feed them by hand right at the water’s edge, and be sure to bring your camera!

Relax on Tropic of Cancer Beach

This hidden white-sand beach is located on Little Exuma and it’s hands-down one of the most gorgeous in the region. But another reason to visit: The Tropic of Cancer cuts a line right down the middle of it.

Try a Variety of Water Sports 

The Exumas are known for their strikingly aquamarine waters, and on your crewed yacht charter, you’ll want to spend as much time in these inviting waters as possible. Sea kayaking, snorkeling, cliff diving, jet-skiing, and windsurfing are all favorite Exumas pastimes.

Sailing from Nassau to Exuma

The 365 islands of the Exumas extend south for nearly 100 miles, yet, the most northern islands are just a short 3-to 4-hour sail from Nassau Harbour. For many, sailing from Nassau to Exuma is the ultimate luxury adventure.

Nassau to Exuma yacht charters allow guests to see all of the incredible sights throughout the region – from Thunderball Grotto (made famous in James Bond) to the stunning beaches of Shroud Cay. You choose what you’d like to see and do: Plan snorkeling excursions, explore sapphire lagoons on paddleboards, swim, and play in the Exumas’ legendary warm waters. There is so much to do and see. Plus, you’ll be cruising in supreme comfort, with chef-prepared meals and five-star service.

Design a Nassau to Exuma itinerary that lets you see and do it all. We offer a range of options: From 7-day Nassau to Great Exuma charters, to Nassau-to-Nassau trips in the Exumas. A range of luxury yachts are available for hire from Nassau.

Boat Charter from Nassau to Exuma

Most yacht charters in the Exumas start and end in Nassau. Nassau provides easy access to US and European clients with daily international flights. While Nassau is a great destination on its own, you will most likely choose to head straight for the Exumas upon arriving on your boat. It takes 3-4 hours to reach the first islands of the Exuma island chain.

Book Your Exuma Boat Rental or Sailing Vacation with Worldwide Boat

Sharing a getaway with friends and family is one of the things that makes chartering so wonderful, but it can also make choosing a destination that will make everyone happy difficult. Luckily, The Exuma islands have a little something for everyone. The Exumas are the perfect yacht charter destination for animal lovers, beach lovers, snorkelers and divers, and fearless explorers. Create memories with your loved ones on Exuma yacht charters!
