Who KITTIWAKE suits
KITTIWAKE is a well-proportioned sailing catamaran from Bali Catamarans, measuring 14.6 m. With three cabins accommodating six guests overnight, she is ideally tailored for a family or small group seeking a relaxed cruising pace with a dedicated crew of two. On the water, guests can explore quiet bays using her kayaks and paddleboards, while her swim platform makes entering the water effortless. Indoors, air conditioning ensures complete comfort when retiring from the sun.
When placed alongside comparable yachts cruising in the Bahamas, KITTIWAKE matches them by hosting the same number of guests. Her length is similar to typical options found across these alternatives, and her weekly rate sits at a similar level. Having been built in 2020, she is older than similar vessels in the area, yet she provides a reliable and balanced platform for island living.
Her cruising schedule encompasses the Caribbean and the Bahamas throughout winter 2026 and summer 2027. The best time to charter her in the Caribbean runs through the winter months from January to April, when steady trade winds produce sublime cruising conditions. Those looking at the Bahamas might consider May or June during the early summer, when warm waters allow guests to make the most of her anchorages.

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.
