As we wind down your excursion through the uncharted Bahamian waters aboard your Boatbookings.com yacht, we hope you’re starting to truly relax into island life. After four full days on vacation, we’re hitting Day 5 and the final stretch of your Boatbookings.com excursion. Let’s pick up where we left off…
Day 5: After an eventful day at West Plana Cay, we sail over to East Plana Cay, where we become acquainted with Plana Cays drift diving. The currents are predictable yet different, depending on your location around the island. The northwest side is tidal, while the pass is your drift dive spot. Feel like your flying as the currents scurry you along, and enjoy high quality diving that is experienced in so few spots around the world. Diving aficionados will hold a special place in their hearts after an afternoon at East Plana Cay.
Day 6: Get some quality time on dry land after so much time at sea and hike through the magical settlement nestled on Samana Cay. Once you’re ready to get your sea legs back, head down to Columbus Bay for some of the most mesmerizing snorkeling you’ve ever seen. Since Samana Cay is abandoned and the only person who calls it home is Mother Nature, it’s a fascinating undisturbed natural habitat and coral reef. As you soak in this deserted paradise, take a mental picture to last you long past the trip ends. We hate to break it to you, but it’s getting nearer by the second. Flights out of Samana Cay are an option thanks to a new floatplane service, Sunshine Air, or you can always charter services through your buddies at Sky Limo.
Day 7: For those of you who want the last midnight cruise in the Cays, you’ve been sailing overnight back to Georgetown. You can use this day to your leisure—either by playing a rousing game of golf at the Sandals Resort, or relax in the spa either onboard your ship or at the resort. Want a few more hours of Bahamian clear blue waters and colorful sea life? Enjoy shallow water snorkeling off Georgetown’s coastline. Diving groups can also take one last go ‘round before bidding farewell to the Bahamas via Boatbookings.com.
We hope that you’ve enjoyed your trip in the Plana Cays, and we hope you’ll be traveling again with Sky Limo and BoatBookings.com soon.
The Bahamas may be close to the mainland of Florida, but once you arrive in the islands it becomes pretty clear that you’re now on island time. However, there’s no need to sacrifice luxury while you’re traveling around the Bahamas, and those who truly appreciate the finer things sail around the Bahamas aboard a sleek & chic yacht. While Sky Limo Air Charters are a leader in Bahamas air travel, it’s Boatbookings.com that will allow you to cruise the islands by yacht. With help from Boatbookings.com, your Bahamas adventure will be equally exciting & relaxing.
Plana Cays is a renowned destination for diving and fishing. With crystal clear waters and a location that’s just distant enough to feel private, you’ll truly learn the meaning of paradise once you enter this region located about 400 miles south of Fort Lauderdale. Ideally, you should plan for at least a week to explore the islands. With that in mind, here at Sky Limo we’ve put together an itinerary for your next dream-worthy Bahamas vacation, and will break it down into a series of posts—beginning today with Days 1 & 2.
Day 1: Fly into Georgetown (aboard a Sky Limo aircraft, of course), where you’ll board your yacht. Get settled as your boat leads you to the enchanted waters of West Plana Cay—a 14-hour trek through open waters. Let the scenery take your breath away as you relax aboard our luxurious watercrafts. The watercolor sunsets will soothe you as you meander off to your room and turn in for the evening, waking refreshed and tranquil at your next destination.
Day 2: Stella Maris, which is located on the north end of Long Island, is a popular marina with resorts lining the beaches. Not looking to lounge on the sand? No worries, Long Island is also home to Elizabethtown, where you can get a first hand experience of National Geographic’s blue holes in the Bahamas. Swim or row out and experience one of the ocean’s natural wonders.
