Explore Escapes Cruises

---

Our Tropical Escapees cruise aboard gorgeous Hatteras and Princess motor yachts. The Yachts are each packed with a full galley, multiple refrigerators, freezers and ice chests. Powerful air conditioners provide cooling and comfort in even the most humid conditions. A diesel generator provides power for all electrical systems aboard when we are not docked at a marina. Our anchoring and retrieval equipment aboard is strong and reliable, and we anchor out from the marina half the time on trips. Those days and nights are often the most stimulating and enjoyable times aboard. Technicolor sunsets present a mere prelude to explosive, starry night skies that mesmerize, far from city lights. Most bask in deep awe of the billions of stars, sparkling Milky Way Galaxy, and a moon in glorious high definition as Escapees sprawl across sun pads counting shooting stars.

Remarkable days flow into breathless nights, every day.

Discover the rich heritage and culture of Tropical Escapes! with cruises to the wilds of the Exumas and Bahamas, or remain closer and explore the Florida Keys, the uniqueness of Key West, and on to historical Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas. Our cruising areas stretch from the Abacos, Nassau and the Exumas to Staniel Cay to the South. 

Wildlife Adventure is built in to every Tropical Escapes! cruise including national parks and reserves. Witness the magical creatures in their natural habitats, mangroves, glistening underwater "aquariums", and indulge in beachcombing, exploration and discovery. 

Experience the vibrant and bustling ATLANTIS Resort in Nassau with Tropical Escapes! All of our Exuma and Eleuthera trips originate in Nassau and include the first night at dock in the Atlantis marina with full, free access to the myriad of venues including the huge walk-through underwater aquarium with its artifacts from the mystical Atlantis, or score in the casino, or lounge away and afternoon on many of the protected beaches.

Special events in and around the route and destination, and holidays are also likely to affect prices.
