Boat Charter to North and Middle Caicos
Thirty minutes from Leeward sit two islands most visitors never reach. Let us take you.
North and Middle Caicos Boat Charters
North and Middle Caicos are the green, quiet end of the archipelago. Fewer than two hundred people live on Middle Caicos. There are no crowds at the caves, no line at the overlook, and no resort strip along the beach.
Going by private charter changes the whole day. Instead of watching a ferry schedule, you travel on your own clock, take the long way through the cays, and stop wherever the water looks good.
The Run Up the Cays
The journey is half the experience. Leaving Leeward Canal, we thread the string of cays sitting between Providenciales and North Caicos.
Little Water Cay is the iguana sanctuary. Boardwalks wind across the island and the Turks and Caicos rock iguanas come right up to greet you.
Half Moon Bay opened up between Little Water Cay and Water Cay only a few decades ago. White sand on the north side, a sheltered turquoise lagoon on the south.
Water Cay and Pine Cay run one gorgeous beach into the next, with low sandy cliffs along the whole northern coast.
Fort George Cay hides the best story in the chain. Cannons from a Loyalist-era fort still rest in the shallows, visible while you snorkel above them. Casuarinas shade the eastern beach if you want lunch on the sand.
Dellis Cay is where beachcombers slow down. A sheltered cove, quiet water, and some of the finest shelling in the islands.
North Caicos
We land on North Caicos and the island opens up from there. A vehicle meets us at the dock, arranged in advance, because the island has no public transport and the good stuff sits inland.
- Wades Green Plantation, the best preserved Loyalist plantation ruins in the country
- Flamingo Pond Overlook, where the resident flocks feed across the shallows
- Cottage Pond, a deep blue sinkhole ringed in palms
- Three Mary Cays, a protected snorkeling spot with ospreys nesting overhead
- Whitby and Horsestable Beaches, long, empty, and yours for the afternoon
Middle Caicos
A causeway links the two islands, so the drive continues straight into Middle Caicos.
Mudjin Harbour is the reason people come. Limestone cliffs drop into the Atlantic, a staircase cut through the rock leads down to the sand, and Dragon Cay sits offshore taking the surf. Nothing else in the Turks and Caicos looks like it.
Conch Bar Caves run beneath the island, a limestone system of chambers, stalactites, and tidal pools. Visits go with a guide.
Bambarra Beach stretches wide and shallow, with Pelican Cay walkable offshore when the tide cooperates.
Crossing Place Trail follows the old coastal route islanders once walked between settlements, hugging the cliffs above the water.
