9 days London to London [FB (On liveaboard only)]

The 19.8 metre catamaran, Cat Ppalu accommodates up to 12 guests in six-air conditioned cabins complete with full-sized beds and private vanity area with sink. Four cabins have double beds and there are two cabins with twins. Two shared heads and two showers are available for guests' use.

The catamarans interior decor is casual elegance with no amenity overlooked. The main salon provides a stylish spacious area for socialising or simply relaxing and is equipped with a TV/VCR/ DVD and stereo. The starboard hull has an underwater window so you will always have a view of the sea!

Cat Ppalu's crew is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. Every Saturday, they set sail from Nassau for 6-nights exploring the Exuma Islands. The Bahamas' Exuma Chain consists of 365 mostly uninhabited islands and cays with spectacular coves, secluded anchorages and white sandy beaches. Beneath the water, the Exumas are home to one of the world's largest barrier reefs, blue holes and drop-offs.

Fishing is banned here, so the waters teem with marine life. Fantastic dive sites just beg to be explored, like Amberjack Reef where you can have a close encounter with reef sharks and the occasional Hammerhead. The Exuma Sound is an abyss that runs the length of the eastern Exumas. The coral cover and underwater geography is phenomenal with swim throughs, tongue and groove coral heads and prolific sea life. Sea Turtles, Eagle Rays and sharks abound in this area of the Bahamas.

While cruising on Cat Pplau you can take the Scuba certification course (advanced arrangements are required). Onboard are four easy to use two-man kayaks for guests to explore the area's many beautiful deserted beaches.
