What to Pack?

Your Magic Bus Adventure: The Ultimate Charter Tips


Welcome to the Magic Bus experience, where sailing through the Exumas is equal parts thrilling adventure and laid-back island living! Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your time aboard.

Pre-Trip Prep: Provisions & Packing


When it comes to provisioning, think ahead and bring the goodies you love. Stock up before arriving, and consider packing dry ice in a cooler for perishables—it’s like your VIP ticket to gourmet meals at sea! Locally, you’ll find basic supplies in Staniel Cay, but options are limited, and prices are double what you’d expect back home. Save yourself the hassle and pack what you know you’ll crave. For meat lovers, ordering Omaha Steaks ahead is a pro move. 

Detailed provisioning ideas are here.

Bring your essentials in soft-sided bags—cabins are cozier without bulky suitcases. Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen, UV gear, and all your sun-blocking accessories. We’ve got snorkel sets, paddleboards, and more toys waiting, so you can pack light on fun stuff.

Life Onboard: Relax & Unwind


Once you step aboard the Magic Bus, your biggest decision will be which breathtaking spot to explore first. Our crew is all about delivering a seamless blend of relaxation and adventure. We’ve taken care of every detail, so you can just enjoy the ride, whether that’s paddleboarding through hidden coves or relaxing with a sundowner in hand.

We also keep it connected with Wi-Fi, but you’ll quickly discover that the real magic lies in disconnecting, soaking in the stunning views, and letting the Exuma breeze take you away.

With the Magic Bus, it’s all about the moments. Dive into turquoise waters, explore untouched beaches, and let the vibrant island culture seep into your soul. We know how to keep it classy, but we’re also here for those spontaneous dance parties and evening bonfire stories.

Every charter on the Magic Bus is a new chapter of unforgettable memories. We’ve got the know-how and island charm to make sure your time in the Exumas is nothing short of magical.
