Jumento Island Chain


The Jumento, are a croissant shaped chain of islands approximately 110 miles long that lie at the southern edge of the Great Bahama Bank at the Crooked island passage. The entire chain is often called the Ragged Islands, and are totally uninhabited except for the bottom island at the settlement of Duncantown (pop 60), which is approx 65 miles from Cuba.
The Jumentos are the perfect place for cruisers wanting to get off the beaten path, to visit unspoiled islands free from commercial development, and to enjoy superb fishing,diving and beach-combing.
See chart in the pictures below.
