A term charter from Miami to the Exumas is more than a voyage — it’s a curated culinary journey shaped by the rhythm of the sea and the vibrant flavors of the islands. With Chef Margaux at the helm of your dining experience, each day unfolds through thoughtfully crafted menus that celebrate freshness, elegance, and the spirit of the Bahamas.

From the moment guests step aboard, mornings begin gently. Breakfast might feature tropical fruit platters layered with dragon fruit, mango, pineapple, and passionfruit; warm coconut brioche French toast with vanilla bean crème fraîche; or made-to-order omelets with fresh herbs and local goat cheese. For lighter fare, açai bowls topped with toasted macadamia and chia, or smoked salmon with avocado and citrus on house-baked sourdough, pair beautifully with fresh-pressed juices and rich Bahamian coffee.

Lunch is bright and relaxed — designed for barefoot dining between swims. Think grilled spiny lobster with lime butter and charred corn salad; watermelon, feta, and mint with aged balsamic; or jerk-marinated chicken served alongside mango slaw and coconut rice. Guests enjoying a beach picnic on a secluded Exuma sandbar might be treated to chilled rosé, citrus-poached shrimp, vibrant poke bowls, and handmade wraps filled with grilled local catch and herb aioli.

Afternoons invite indulgence. Chef Margaux might present a mezze spread with hummus, roasted eggplant, olives, and warm flatbreads, or a tropical ceviche bar featuring grouper, conch, and tuna with pineapple, chili, and fresh lime. Sunset canapés — truffle arancini, seared scallops with passionfruit glaze, or mini lobster rolls — set the tone for golden hour cocktails on deck.

Dinner is where the full expression of the journey comes alive. Menus are inspired by both refined coastal cuisine and Caribbean soul. A typical evening might begin with seared yellowfin tuna, avocado mousse, and citrus pearls, followed by herb-crusted rack of lamb with roasted heirloom vegetables and red wine reduction. Another night may highlight Bahamian flavors — cracked conch with spicy remoulade, grilled Nassau grouper with saffron risotto, or slow-braised short ribs with plantain purée. Vegetarian guests are equally celebrated with dishes such as roasted pumpkin ravioli with sage brown butter or grilled island vegetables with whipped feta and pistachio.

Desserts balance elegance and tropical flair: coconut panna cotta with rum caramel, key lime tart with torched meringue, dark chocolate fondant with sea salt, or fresh pineapple carpaccio with mint syrup and lime zest.

Every menu is fully customized prior to embarkation. Chef Margaux works closely with guests to accommodate preferences, dietary needs, and special celebrations — whether that means a wellness-focused week of vibrant, nutrient-rich cuisine, a seafood-forward indulgence, or themed evenings such as a Bahamian beach barbecue under the stars.

From dockside welcome bites in Miami to a final celebratory dinner anchored in the turquoise waters of the Exumas, the cuisine is designed to reflect the beauty of the surroundings: fresh, effortless, and unforgettable.
