Sailing charter giant The Moorings has added a new destination in the wider Caribbean region: the Exuma archipelago of The Bahamas.

The new destination adds what is one of the great sailing regions of the Caribbean, with more than 365 islands and cays across more than 120 miles and some of the most remarkable water anywhere.

The Moorings will be operating its charters out of the harbor in George Town on the island chain’s largest island, Great Exuma.

Exuma becomes the company’s second destination in The Bahamas, along with the Abaco island chain.
