Snorkeling in Nassau: Private 38ft Charter with Fishing Options

You pick the mix: snorkeling, fishing, or both, all in one half-day on your own boat

A private snorkeling charter in Nassau aboard the 38ft Reel Dreams lets you customize the itinerary to combine snorkeling, deep sea fishing, light tackle fishing and beaching in any mix that suits you. The boat holds up to six people. A professional guide in English is included, along with snorkeling gear, fishing equipment, bait, cooler with water and ice, and fuel. The half-day runs four hours and departs from Nassau Yacht Haven.

The experience

You're not following a fixed route or a schedule built for strangers. The crew of the Reel Dreams takes direction from you: if you want to spend the whole four hours snorkeling at one reef, that's the plan. If you'd rather split the time between snorkeling and fishing, or fish only, you choose. The boat carries snorkeling equipment and full fishing gear, so the option to switch activities mid-charter is there if the mood shifts.

The 38ft Reel Dreams operates out of Nassau Yacht Haven and holds up to six people per booking, which means a family or a small group travels without splitting across multiple boats. A professional guide who speaks English is aboard for the whole charter, and the cooler stocked with bottled water and ice stays accessible throughout. The boat handles deep sea fishing, light tackle inshore work, and snorkeling in the same half-day, so the crew knows the spots for each.

Pickup and logistics depend on where you're staying. If you're docked on a cruise ship, the four-hour window has to fit the ship's schedule, and you're responsible for getting back on time. If you're staying on New Providence Island, arrange your own transport to Nassau Yacht Haven or confirm with the operator whether they can help with that detail when you book.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I snorkel the whole time, or do I have to fish?

Snorkeling alone is one option you can choose at checkout. The charter is fully customizable, so you pick any combination of snorkeling, deep sea fishing, light tackle fishing and beaching that fits what you want to do that day.

What snorkeling gear is provided?

Snorkeling equipment is included in the charter. The crew supplies what you need to get in the water. Bring your own only if you prefer your personal gear.

How many people can go on the boat?

The Reel Dreams holds a maximum of six people per booking, so a group of that size travels together on one charter without splitting up.

Where does the boat leave from, and how do I get there?

The Reel Dreams departs from Nassau Yacht Haven in Nassau. You arrange your own transport to the marina. Confirm the exact meeting point and arrival window when you book.

If I'm on a cruise ship, can I do this snorkeling charter?

Yes, but the four-hour charter has to fit between your ship's departure and return times. You're responsible for getting back to the ship on schedule. The operator notes that refunds are not issued if the charter is missed due to late arrival of the cruise ship.
