Will we really SAIL?<\/b><\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Yes, a<\/span>bsolutely!\u00a0 We are 3rd generation\u00a0<\/span>sailors! We hoist the sails, turn off the engine, and SAIL\u00a0<\/span>– this is\u00a0<\/span>THE most beautiful way to enjoy our islands!<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Where do we go?<\/span>
<\/b><\/span>All along the Nassau island chain of beautiful islands & cays – our favorite stops are at Green Cay, Rose Island – north & south sides – and Atholl Island.\u00a0 It’s <\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0visual feast of<\/span>\u00a0gorgeous beaches, fantastic coral reefs for snorkeling, and miles of\u00a0 beautiful\u00a0turquoise water!\u00a0We can also circumnavigate Paradise Island and\/or sail through Nassau Harbour, alongside the cruise ships, and under the Paradise Island Bridges.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Where do we snorkel?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>
Fantastic coral reefs all in shallow 10-20′ water\u00a0<\/span>all around Rose Island and Atholl Island, all within the marine park, and all teeming with\u00a0<\/span>colorful reef fish \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Is snorkel gear included?<\/b><\/span>
Yes!\u00a0 We have all sizes of great gear on board, along with safe & comfortable swim waist belts. N<\/span>ewer style full face masks\u00a0are also available to rent on board.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Is\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0snorkeling better for experienced or beginner snorkelers?<\/b><\/span><\/div>
Both!\u00a0 Beginners –\u00a0<\/span>On our 4 1\/4H & 6H cruises you may\u00a0snorkel right from the beach & yo<\/span>ur very friendly helpful crew will help you get started.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Experienced – jump right in from your sailboat and even if you snorkel the entire time we’re anchored, there’s more amazing coral reef to see than there’s time to see it<\/span><\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/div>
What sizes are your sailing yachts?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>
Riding High – impressive\u00a0<\/span>56′ Gulfstar Ketch – up to 26 guests<\/span><\/div>
Wind Dance – beautiful 41′ Morgan Sloop –\u00a0<\/span>up to 12 guests.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Can we swim with the pigs?\u00a0 Or with the sea turtles?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>

Yes!\u00a0 For groups or private charters we’ll take you swimming\/snorkeling with the sea turtles, or to have a fun experience feeding the swimming pigs\u00a0\ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/div>
What do we need to bring?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>
TOWELS, swimsuits, sunscreen (lotions only, no sprays or oils), cameras, hats, etc. etc. – there is lots of space on board for bags!<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>
Is it really a barefoot cruise?<\/b><\/span><\/div>
Yes!\u00a0 We ask our guests to remove their\u00a0shoes\u00a0upon boarding so the\u00a0<\/span>decks of y<\/span>our sailboats stay\u00a0<\/span>beautifully clean!<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Where are you located?<\/b><\/span><\/div>

You’ll meet your sailboat at the Montagu Beach Public Dock –\u00a0<\/span>a 5-7 minute drive from Paradise Island, downtown Nassau and the Cruise Ship Dock, and a 20 minute drive from the Cable Beach area.<\/p>

Are hotel pickups included?<\/b><\/span><\/div>

We don’t include transportation but we can arrange a minibus for you at less than the cost of a taxi.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Do you offer fishing?<\/b><\/span>
All of our cruising areas are in a Marine Park\/protected area – so no fishing but this means there are many amazing fish to be seen while snorkeling!<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Do you offer watersports?<\/b><\/span>
Yes!\u00a0 We can arrange jet skis, parasailing and\/or banana boat rides for you, brought out to us privately at the beach.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Can you accommodate guests with mobility issues?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>

Our sailboats are not handicapped accessible but we can often accommodate guests with mobility issues.\u00a0 Contact us to discuss your specific needs.<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
What is your policy for bad weather?<\/b><\/span><\/div>
We will not take you out if we can’t give you a great time – your Captain is right out there with you & he doesn’t like a bad day either!<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
