“Sail Your Own Boat” If you’re a sailor, or want to learn, with a private charter aboard "Wind Dance" or "Riding High", you can be the Captain. You and your party can be as involved as you like, sheet the sails, take the helm, decide on your own destination, do some or all of the sailing, have a lesson, or take a break! We don't bareboat - and there's nobody in Nassau who does - when you experience our waters you'll see why! But we can offer you the next best thing - it's not that we question your seamanship but rather for navigational purposes because reefs and sandbars here are not marked - sailing here you need to learn to judge the depth of the water by the colour - something we'll be happy to show you how to do!
“Charter Our Speedboat” – If you feel the need for some speed, take a few hours off from sailing in our 20’ Mako runabout – “"Foot Loose" ”. Absolutely private beaching, snorkeling, exploring, water sports. Includes a Captain/Guide, a cooler with ice, and snorkel gear. Please see pricing below.
