The engine hum eases as Nassau recedes and the turquoise shelf unfurls—salt air nudging you forward, coral gardens daring you to dive in. On a private 45ft powerboat you’ll punch across shallow banks to reef-studded cays: drop the ladder, slip into warm water, and watch hawksbill and green turtles glide through fingers of sea grass.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine hum eases as Nassau recedes and the turquoise shelf unfurls—salt air nudging you forward, coral gardens daring you to dive in. On a private 45ft powerboat you’ll punch across shallow banks to reef-studded cays: drop the ladder, slip into warm water, and watch hawksbill and green turtles glide through fingers of sea grass.
This stretch of the Bahamas sits on an exposed carbonate platform—low-lying limestone and sand-building currents that created white beaches and shoals. The Lucayan people first moved through these islands; later colonial trade and maritime traffic shaped the harbour towns you leave behind. Gilligan’s-style Sandy Cay has become a photographic favorite for its arc of powder sand; Green Cay’s small reef hosts the turtles that many visitors come to see. Nearby private islands host small beach bars that have become informal community hubs where locals and captains swap stories over cold drinks.
Practically: check in 30 minutes early at the Margaritaville-area dock, plan on a roughly four-hour outing, and expect multiple short stops—snorkel, sand, and a beach-bar lunch slot. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, a snug mask, and water shoes for rocky entries; snorkeling with turtles requires calm, slow movements and no touching. The operator provides snorkel gear and bottled water; the tour is private for your group and can include a ‘pigs’ package for swimming pig encounters (the better-known pig beaches are in the Exumas). Sea conditions change quickly—confirm weather cancellations and bring layered cover-ups for wind. This trip blends active snorkeling and relaxed beach time, ideal for travelers who want a short offshore adventure without complicated logistics.
The base price covers up to 10 guests; the charter can accommodate up to 22 with additional charges for extra lunches and pig-package extras.
Yes—use of snorkeling equipment is included, though bringing your own mask and fins is recommended for fit and comfort.
Infants under 1 are not permitted; older children can join but must be supervised—stroller access is noted at check-in points.
Tours are subject to cancellation for unsafe weather and all-sales are final; operators generally notify clients and may reschedule when possible.
