Private Snorkeling & Fishing Charter in Nassau on a 38ft Cabin Cruiser

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sunscreen that’s labeled reef-safe protects coral and prevents irritation after long sun exposure on deck.
Carry cash for landing fees or lunch
Some island bars and local vendors accept only cash for seating or small purchases like lunches on Rose Island.
Pick morning for calmer seas
If you’re prone to seasickness or want the clearest water for snorkeling, request an early departure.
Respect reef etiquette
Don’t touch or stand on coral, and keep a hand on equipment to prevent accidentally damaging marine life.

Conservation Note

Nassau’s waters were longtime maritime routes and 18th-century privateer haunts; today local captains blend that seafaring knowledge with modern tourism.
