The engine’s low thrum fades as the turquoise opens up and the Bahamas asserts itself — sun strobes off the ripples, and a current seems to nudge the hull toward a cluster of white sand and palms. On a custom 35' Donzi center console you’ll move quickly between reef, cay, and lagoon: snorkel masks fog, fins cut, and a pod of turtles can glide past like slow ghosts beneath you. At Sandy Cay, the sand presses cool beneath your feet and the remains of a film-set moment sit quietly behind the shoreline.

The engine’s low thrum fades as the turquoise opens up and the Bahamas asserts itself — sun strobes off the ripples, and a current seems to nudge the hull toward a cluster of white sand and palms. On a custom 35' Donzi center console you’ll move quickly between reef, cay, and lagoon: snorkel masks fog, fins cut, and a pod of turtles can glide past like slow ghosts beneath you. At Sandy Cay, the sand presses cool beneath your feet and the remains of a film-set moment sit quietly behind the shoreline.
This short cruise ties natural history and local culture. The reefs around Rose Island are cemented by branching corals and old oyster beds; Green Cay’s shallow sanctuary concentrates sea grass where hawksbill and green turtles feed. The swimming pigs, a quirky draw, reflect local coastal history — pigs have long been kept on out-islands and occasionally swim to shore to meet boats and visitors.
Expect clear, shallow snorkeling over patch reef, brief beach time on sandy cays, and up-close wildlife viewing. The operator supplies snorkel gear, bottled water, and soft drinks; trips run about 3–3.5 hours and are weather-dependent. Practical notes: wear reef-safe sunscreen, secure a dry bag for phones, and be ready to enter from a small ladder or into waist-to-chest deep water. If you prefer calmer seas, ask for sheltered spots near Green Cay.
This trip is breezy and social — bring a light layer for the return and a camera for bright, uncompromising Caribbean light.
Yes — basic masks, snorkels, and fins are included; bring personal fit items if you prefer your own gear.
Non-swimmers can participate; the trip includes beach time and wildlife viewing, but boat staff expect guests to follow safety briefings and may supply flotation aids for shallow snorkeling.
Yes — the pigs are accustomed to visitors and guides supervise interactions; avoid feeding from your hands and follow crew instructions to minimize stress to the animals.
