Customize a private day aboard a 53ft yacht out of Nassau — choose deep-sea fishing, inshore light tackle, snorkeling and beach stops. The crew provides gear and local know-how for a tailored maritime day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Bahamas prioritizes coral health; use reef-safe sunscreen to protect reefs while snorkeling or swimming.
Prepare for seasickness
Even on a stable 53ft boat, morning swells can unsettle sensitive riders—take meds beforehand if needed.
Pack light layers
Wind and spray cool quickly; a light windbreaker or quick-dry shirt keeps you comfortable on deck.
Confirm pickup and timing
Provide cruise or port arrival details to the operator and arrive early to avoid missing the departure window.
