65ft Searay: Private Bahamas Yacht Charter with Jetskis, SeaBobs & Snorkeling

Set out from Nassau, Bahamas aboard the 65ft Searay, a roomy private charter that blends day-boat freedom with a cozy liveaboard feel. Based in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, United States but meeting guests in Nassau, this vessel is configured for groups up to 13 and comes with a captain and a steward/chef. The Searay’s teak decks open onto palms of turquoise water, and its toy locker includes a jetski, two SeaBobs, and full snorkel kits—perfect for chasing reef drops, shallow sand bars, and hidden coves in the cays. Inside the boat are four beds, three baths and stateroom comfort designed for day trips that can turn overnight; the layout sleeps eight plus two crew, and the skipper will tailor the itinerary to tide, wind and your group’s rhythm. Onboard amenities—coolers with ice, sodas and water, Bluetooth sound system and towels—mean you spend more time on the water and less time provisioning. Expect a social, music-friendly atmosphere and the convenience of a small crew who’ll handle navigation, anchoring and basic provisioning. The attraction here is direct access to classic Bahamian marine features: glass-clear water, living coral gardens, shallow sandbars for floating mats, and reef edges that drop into deep blue where snorkeling reveals parrotfish, stingrays and nurse sharks in calmer lagoons. The boat’s size lets it slip into protected anchorages that larger yachts avoid, making intimate stops at quiet beaches and nearshore reefs ideal for swimming and photo ops. Why book this over a standard tour boat? The 65ft Searay combines private scheduling, water toys and a compact crew so your group sets the pace—laze on the foredeck, launch a SeaBob to glide over coral heads, or hop the jetski for an adrenaline pulse. The steward/chef can keep a cool spread ready while the captain picks a sheltered bay for lunch or a sunset cruise back to Nassau. Good for families, groups of friends and couples who want one-boat privacy without losing activity options, this charter feels more like a mobile basecamp than a rental. Practical notes: meeting point is Nassau, Bahamas; group size limit is 13 guests. The operator’s base is listed as Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, United States. If you’re looking to explore reef corridors, sandbars and nearshore cays with toys and a small crew, the 65ft Searay is a standout way to own a day on the water. Reservations are made online through the operator’s booking link; verify fuel surcharges and allow time for customs checks if planning cross-island hops. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, quick-dry layers and water shoes for rocky landings; the crew provides towels but not specialized dive certification. Ask about SeaBob operation requirements and age limits when you book. Pack reef-safe sunscreen daily.
