The boat slips away from Nassau’s harbor and the island falls back like a map. Turquoise water spreads around the hull; currents tug gently at the bow as the captain points toward a line of low sand cays and coral heads. Within minutes you’re watching Green Cay’s turtles pop their heads up to breathe — curious, unhurried, and always at a polite distance.

The boat slips away from Nassau’s harbor and the island falls back like a map. Turquoise water spreads around the hull; currents tug gently at the bow as the captain points toward a line of low sand cays and coral heads. Within minutes you’re watching Green Cay’s turtles pop their heads up to breathe — curious, unhurried, and always at a polite distance.
This short charter blends natural highlights and local flavor. The Bahamas’ low, flat cays are made of wind-blown coral sand and living reef; Rose Island carries traces of 19th-century lighthouse activity and old settlement sites, while Sandy Cay (popularly called Gilligan’s Island) has become one of the most photographed tiny beaches in the Caribbean. Culture in Nassau threads through boatmen, fishers, and beachfront bars where volleyball and billiards keep the afternoon casual.
Practically, expect a 4-hour out-and-back trip from Paradise Island or Nassau marinas with onboard snorkeling gear and inshore fishing tackle supplied. Fishing’s targets commonly include mahi-mahi, wahoo, grouper and barracuda; snorkeling yields colorful reef fish and shallow coral gardens. Note: guests observe turtles from the boat — swimming with them isn’t permitted on this route, and swimming with the pigs is not included and requires an extra excursion.
Plan for sun, spray and easy movement on deck: reef-safe sunscreen, secure footwear, and a small dry bag make the difference. Morning departures typically offer calmer seas and better visibility for both snorkel and cast. The day is short, bright, and designed for relaxed exploration rather than a strenuous outing.
No — on this tour turtles are viewed from the boat; approaching or touching protected turtles is prohibited to reduce stress and disease transmission.
Lunch is not included; the itinerary may stop at a beach bar & grill where you can purchase food and drinks — bring cash or card as advised.
No — swimming with the pigs takes place at the Exumas and is a separate excursion that incurs an extra cost and additional travel time.
Yes — the tour is suitable for all fitness levels; children should be supervised and non-swimmers can snorkel in shallow areas or remain on board with a life jacket.
