Captain Cisco Chadinha, of 162ft
Remember When, reveals a cruise
to some of the Bahamas’ most
spectacular diving sites

a well-trodden path
for superyachts, the
Out Islands still offer
secret, sparkling white beaches and
uncrowded world class diving for those
prepared to venture off the beaten track.
This itinerary by Cisco Chadinha,
skipper of Remember When, which is
available to charter with Churchill
Yacht Partners, combines some of the
best scuba sites in the region with secret
anchorages and uninhabited islands.

Only 14 of the
hundreds of Out
Islands are inhabited

Remember When
sleeps up to 12 guests

DAY THREE
> In the morning divers can head
for Tartar Bank on the southeast
side of Cat Island. The bank
disappears from a 60ft to a
3,000ft drop-off. The yacht will
then relocate to Springfield Bay,
perfect for a beach barbecue,
while any fishermen on board can
show off their skills.

DAY TWO
> At the crack of dawn Remember When will depart
for Hawk’s Nest on Cat Island. The remote island
is hardly touched by tourism and has some brilliant
diving, with an abundance of caves and coral
canyons to traverse. Between dives guests can
enjoy secluded beaches or take the yacht’s
paddleboards and SeaBobs through the crystal
clear mangroves.

DAY ONE
> Guests meet Remember When at Cape Eleuthera
Marina and, within hours, can venture out for their
first dive at Bamboo Point. The yacht will spend the
night at anchor at the south end of Eleuthera, for
an evening of stargazing on the sundeck while
indulging in freshly made cocktails.

DAY FOUR
> With no inhabitants, Conception
Island is a diamond in the rough.
The dives here have stunning coral
gardens and guests will encounter
large varieties of reef fish and
perhaps even a dolphin or two.

DAY FIVE
> Guests can make the most
of Conception Island’s quiet
waters and enjoy Remember When’s
extensive assortment of toys.
The island also has a crystal clear
lake, filled with small green turtles
and stingrays.

DAY SIX
> Remember When heads
to one of the best kept
secrets in the Caribbean


  • Rum Cay. The island
    offers great beaches, with
    vivid coral reefs. Guests
    can explore drop-offs,
    deep reefs, numerous
    tunnels, and the wreck of
    HMS Conqueror, which
    was lost in 1861.


DAY SEVEN
> Guests’ final dive will be at
San Salvador, which is the
exposed peak of a submerged
1,500ft mountain. For the last
night the yacht will either dock
at Riding Rock Marina or
relocate to a remote
beach anchorage.
