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

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.
