You step off the marina dock into a warm breeze, and the yacht’s silhouette slides away from Nassau’s harbor. The 50-foot Sunseeker hums south toward Rose Island, salt on your lips and a cooler of chilled drinks within reach. The day is paced: a turtle-flanked snorkeling stop, quiet sandbar stretches, paddle boards and floats, then a private 55-minute session with the famous swimming pigs — no crowds, just your group and the piglets splashing in shallow turquoise water.

Rose Island sits on the shallow carbonate shelf east of New Providence, its beaches formed of coral sand and shell fragments. Nearby Green Cay hosts sea grass beds that attract green turtles and juvenile reef life, while the coral patches beyond Rose Island shelter parrotfish, angelfish and rays. The area’s maritime history traces Nassau’s colonial shipping routes; small cays like Rose were once waypoints and seasonal camps for fishermen.
Expect warm, clear water, shallow beaches that make boarding easy, and quick transitions between activities. The tour provides snorkel gear, paddle boards, floats, snacks, bottled water and onboard restrooms. Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a waterproof camera, and shoes that grip sand and boat decks.
Practical notes: departures are from Nassau Yacht Haven; the trip runs about six hours and is best scheduled in calm weather. The pigs are wild but used to visitors — follow your crew’s instructions for safe interactions. If you want more snorkeling time, ask the crew to prioritize reef stops; otherwise plan on a balanced day of swimming, sun, and photos.
