Private Snorkeling and Fishing Charter in Nassau on a 38ft Freestyle
Choose your half‑day on a private 38ft cabin cruiser — snorkel vibrant reefs, try inshore or deep‑sea fishing, and visit photogenic cays like Gilligan’s Island or Rose Island. Gear and bottled water are provided; plan for extra landing or lunch costs.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The local reefs are sensitive—use only reef‑safe SPF and reapply in shade to protect corals.
Take motion‑sickness meds if unsure
Even calm seas can become choppy; take medication an hour before departure if you get queasy.
Confirm cruise arrival details
If arriving by cruise ship, provide your ship name and reboarding time when you book to avoid delays.
Pack a small dry bag
A 5–10L dry bag keeps phones, documents and snacks dry during transfers and swims.
