Best islands to visit Bahamas in private boat

Long Island 100%. It is a haul from Miami though, but worth it if going to the Exuma area. Moor in Salt Pond and go ashore at Tiny's Hurricane Hole. Michelle who runs the place will take care of you. They also have three cabanas if you want to get some rest on shore. The bar/grill there is awesome and a hang out spot for locals. You could also rent a house on the island and Michelle at Tiny's can get you in touch with some locals who have them available and hook you up with a car.

Definitely second Harbour Island. There’s the government dock and also a large marina that can accommodate large boats.

We wound up renting a boat and captain for the day and bounced around to smaller islands for snorkeling and relaxing. We grabbed lunch at Spanish Wells, hit “Pig Island”, etc. It was a great time.

There was a small hut over the water on Harbour Island that served fresh conch ceviche and their tropical ceviche was insane. They had the conch in traps under the hut.

I’d go back in a heartbeat

I'll go opposite direction: Outer Abaco's. We did Green Turtle Cay this summer, loved it. Can hit all of those islands around there, venture further out since you'll be there for a month.

Damn, baller! What’s something like that run?
