Who KASHMIR suits
With six cabins accommodating twelve guests, KASHMIR is well matched to extended family gatherings or groups of friends who value outdoor living. Built by Splendor Yachts in 2008 and refitted in 2021, this 40.5 m motor yacht runs with a dedicated crew of seven. Days on the water revolve naturally around her swim platform and paddleboards, while a water slide and a jacuzzi on deck give guests of all generations plenty of variety between anchorages.
Against comparable yachts based in the Bahamas, she presents an appealing balance. Her length sits close to other vessels in her peer group, and she accommodates the same number of guests. She also shares a similar build year with these alternatives, yet she distinguishes herself by commanding a lower weekly rate.
For those planning an itinerary, she is scheduled across both the Caribbean and the Bahamas throughout 2026. The best season to charter her in the Caribbean runs through the winter months from January to April, when calm seas and pleasant trade winds prevail. Alternatively, cruising the Bahamas during May or June rewards guests with tranquil anchorages ahead of midsummer.

Cruising the Bahamas: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from mid-December through April, marked by prevailing easterly trade winds of 10 to 20 knots and dry conditions. Occasional winter cold fronts bring stronger northwesterly winds. May is warm and calm. The Atlantic hurricane season officially spans 1 June to 30 November, bringing higher humidity, increased rainfall, and lower charter traffic, though summer conditions can offer settled seas outside of tropical systems.
Practical tips
- Fly into Nassau (NAS) or Exuma (GGT); Nassau's marinas are 20–30 minutes from Lynden Pindling International, while regional and private flights access Out Island airstrips.
- Cruising permits are required upon entry, and fishing or shelling is strictly prohibited within the boundaries of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
- Provision thoroughly in Nassau before departing for the Out Islands, where grocery selections are limited and dependent on weekly freight deliveries.
Anchorages to know
- Shroud CayLocated within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, this uninhabited mangrove island offers tidal creeks navigable by tender and sheltered anchorage on its western side.
- Staniel CayA central Exuma hub providing protected mooring options, direct access to Thunderball Grotto, and close proximity to Big Major Cay.
- Warderick Wells CayThe headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park features a protected mooring field within a natural deep-water channel and marked hiking trails.
- Highbourne CaySituated at the northern gateway to the Exumas, it provides sheltered anchorage on its leeward side and an established marina for fuel and water.
