On July 11, 2018 through July 21st, my wife and I did the Exuma Trip!

We stayed in Bimini, Chub Cay, and Stanley Cay and had an amazing time! We met so many nice people and had the time of our lives. We had beautiful weather and decent seas!

For anyone considering the trip, plan ahead and don't look back. It is worth the time and effort.

We have a 2017 Yamaha 242 Limited S. My wife always likes to take more stuff then we need but I still averaged around 2 mpg! We took a 24 gallon spare tank on the back for backup but never had an issue with getting gas.

Here are a few pictures we wanted to share and I will work on the videos this weekend.

Where’s the pic of you two next to the Jetboaters.net flag that we hung in the SCYC that should be a tradition for all who go lol. Can’t wait to see the videos!
 
Oh man, I wish I would have known about that! I saw the flags but did not look at them all.

Nice trip, glad you had great weather and a good time. How far south of SCYC did you go?

Here is a picture of the Jetboaters flag in Staniel Cay Yacht Club.

Did not go any further south but we have already started planning for next year!
