Six boats. One captain crew.

Maintained in-house, dry-docked twice a year, and crewed by the same captains for a decade. Each vessel is matched to the tour — flat seas get the speed, longer hauls get the comfort.

A Day With Us

From the dock
to the sandbar.

Every tour follows the same rhythm — meet, brief, cruise, snorkel, eat, lounge, and back. You move at the captain's pace, not a stopwatch.
1 2 3 4
1

Meet at the dock

Festival Place, slip 4. Five minutes from the cruise terminal, ten from Atlantis. We do the paperwork and the safety brief while you grab a coffee from the kiosk.

2

Cruise out

Out past Paradise Island, into the Tongue of the Ocean. Captain narrates if you want, lets you nap if you don't. Music on or off — your boat, your rules.

3

The main event

Pigs, reef, sandbar, sunset — whichever you booked. We stay long enough for you to actually enjoy it, not long enough to bake. Lunch served on board.

4

Back to port

Captain calls your tender 30 minutes before all-aboard if you're a cruise guest. We get the photo dump to your phone before you walk off the dock.

Private Charters

Your day,
your way.

Most of our work is private. Build the day around your group, your timing, your sandbar. We'll handle the rest — captain, mate, fuel, gear, lunch, and the photos. You bring the swimsuit.

  • Same captain start to finish — no handoffs
  • Custom route built around your interests and tide
  • Catered lunch or fresh conch salad on the bow
  • Drone & GoPro footage delivered same-day
  • Hotel pickup available for Atlantis & Baha Mar

Capt. Renaldo took us to four spots none of the bigger tours hit. We swam with three sea turtles, a nurse shark, and got back with our drinks still cold. Best $1,900 we've spent.

I booked this for my husband's 50th not knowing if it was worth the price. Twenty minutes in he turned to me and said "this is the best day of my life." We have not stopped talking about it.

Got off the ship at 8:30, was swimming with pigs at 9:40, back on board with two hours to spare. They had us on the dock the second we walked through Festival Place. Wizard-level logistics.

Frequently Asked

Before you
step onboard.

Still wondering? Message us on WhatsApp at +1 (242) 555-0192 — we usually reply within 10 minutes.

How early should I book?

For peak season (Dec–Apr), 2–3 weeks ahead is safe. Same-week is possible most weeks — call us, sometimes we have a captain free we haven't listed yet. Cruise guests should book before sailing.

What if the weather turns?

Our captains call it. If we cancel for weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule — your choice. We will never sail you in unsafe conditions, and we don't pretend the weather is fine to keep your deposit.

Are tours kid-friendly?

Yes. Every boat carries USCG-approved life jackets in toddler through adult sizes, and the captains love a good first-snorkel tutorial. Pigs in particular are a hit with kids 4+.

Will I miss my cruise ship?

Never has happened, never will. Tell us your all-aboard time at booking and our captains build the route to land you back with a 60-minute cushion minimum. Our dock is a 5-minute walk from Festival Place.

What's actually included?

Captain, mate, fuel, snorkel gear (mask, fins, vest), reef-safe sunscreen, fresh fruit, water and soft drinks. Sunset & party-boat tours include alcohol. Lunch is included on all 4+ hour tours.

Can we customize a charter?

That's our specialty. Email charters@bahamaswatertoys.com with your group, dates, and the experience you have in mind. A captain (not a booking bot) writes you back within 24 hours with a route and quote.
