Highlights
  • Rose Island - This excursion will take you on an adventure you can’t get anywhere else in Nassau. We will board a private boat with just your group and sail past beautiful Paradise Island as we head out to beautiful Rose Island Beach. You can’t beat the clear waters in the Bahamas and what better way to experience them than in a sailboat. Want to try your hand at sailing? Ask the captain and you too could practice your captain skills and be yelling out “raise the anchor, hoist the main.” Entire experience lasts about 4 hours.
What's Included
  • Use of snorkeling equipment
  • Life jackets provided
  • Bottled water included
  • Carbonated beverages available

Perfect day trip excursion - We had an absolute blast on our trip. Captain Paul and his first mate (I can’t remember his name) were knowledgeable, professional, and hospitable. I loved getting some information on the islands history and getting to see paradise island from the water. The snorkel equipment was clean and they fitted it perfectly to each of us. The island they took us to next was perfect. Loved being on a smaller boat vs a crowded shore excursion. We can’t wait to come back and visit again!

Great snorkeling trip - This private snorkel trip was the highlight of our vacation. Capt. Welly and his mate were great. They anticipated everything we would ask for and had it ready. One of our group had never snorkeled and they were fantastic in making her comfortable and she had a blast. The boat was immaculate and the cover was perfect for the rain we encountered. The only negative was the rain, but what do you do- make the best. I would use them again if we return to Nassau.

Great boat and Captain. - Captain Wellington was a great host along with Captain Marty. We stopped at four islands with plenty of time to snorkel and go onto the beaches. They made sure our party of 8 with several teenage kids all had a good time. Highly recommend his boat.

Best part of our vacation! - This was a graduation trip for my girls (high school and college). Captain Wellington and Marty made our round trip to Rose Island so much fun! They were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. My teens rode the bow of the boat out and back, looking like celebrities! The island itself was so beautiful! Water was crystal clear and we could swim right out to the reef to snorkel. A local "Action Limbo" told the girls about how to dig up conch and even shared a bite (raw- ew) and an empty shell. We didn't want to leave! Two of us have some orthopedic issues that made it very difficult for us to get back on the boat. Both of our guides were so helpful and patient with us. Don't miss this trip! We all had so much fun. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great day sailing - Captain Welly and Marti were laid back, knowledgeable, and kept us safe and entertained. The waved were very strong that day, and Captain Welly went out of his way to make sure we had the least impact possible. Marti was always available to get drinks or take pictures. It was a beautiful experience!

Great half day ttip - Welly showed us an amazing time! I highly recommend this trip. Welly was affected by Hurricane Dorian, so it was very powerful to hear his story too.
