SAILING THE JUMENTOS CAYS – FRESH FISH, SHARKS & LIVING OFF THE LAND! Ep 181
We're living wild in the remote Jumentos Cays and Ragged Islands, deep in the southern Bahamas.
In this episode, we island-hop by sailboat through some of the most untouched places we’ve ever explored. We dive with sharks, forage coconuts, spearfish for fresh dinner, and cook it all over a beach fire. We even get a magical moment sailing alongside a dolphin.
This is remote, off-grid cruising at its finest—just us, the ocean, and the wild beauty of the Bahamas.
Whether you're dreaming of boat life, planning your own Bahamas sailing adventure, or just love watching raw, real life at sea—this one’s for you.
🧭 Where We Are: Jumentos Cays & Ragged Islands, Bahamas
🐟 Spearfishing + foraging
🐬 Sailing with a dolphin
🔥 Cooking our catch over the fire
🌴 Coconut hunting & wild anchorages

The Ragged Islands Are Pure Paradise! | Day 4-5
