For natural beauty and room to roam on your Whaler, the Out Islands of The Bahamas are truly unmatched. And if you live in Florida or anywhere along the Gulf or southern East Coast, they're probably closer than you think! The western islands are only about 50 miles from Miami, which means you can make the trip in as little as three hours.
Well before you arrive at your Bahamian destination, you’ll be rewarded for your efforts. Hundreds of pristine, scarcely populated islands and cays make up this archipelago, where deserted beaches and quiet wildlife sanctuaries are surrounded by the vast, sparkling Caribbean.
Of the more than 700 islands in the region, only 14 are inhabited, including the Abacos and Bimini — which many know from Whaler’s beloved annual Rendezvous trips — plus Cat Island, Harbour Island, the Exumas and San Salvador, among others. Each boasts its own special flavor, but all share a laid-back, hospitable vibe. Enjoy abundant seafood and friendly conversation against a backdrop spectacular scenery, all set to an ocean soundtrack.
There’s no end to the activities available: Bring your scuba diving equipment or snorkeling gear to explore an underwater panorama. Test your game-fishing skills on the ocean’s most worthy opponents, or scan the skies for colorful new bird species. Give your muscles a workout on a paddleboard or kayak. Or simply stretch out on the bow or the beach and savor the warm, tropical breezes.
The Out Islands’ many resorts are waiting to welcome you, by sea or by air. If you do make the trip by Whaler, be sure to ask about this special offer from the Out Islands Promotion Board: Boaters can receive a $300 fuel credit for a pre-booked four-night consecutive hotel stay at participating resorts and marinas.
