Rose Island

GOOD TO KNOW

Charters and day trips depend on the weather and book out first in high season. If you have a date in mind, call the operator well ahead — a week or more for the popular trips.

Trips are booked with each operator, not with us. Most run weather permitting and fill quickly in high season, so it is worth calling ahead.

Every listing here is independently owned and operated. Bookings and payments are made directly with the provider.

A NOTE ON THIS LIST

There Is More Water Than This.

These are the operators we know well enough to stand behind, not every boat in Nassau. Ask us if you are after something that isn’t here — someone on our team will have an opinion.

Trips are booked directly with each operator. Most run weather permitting and fill quickly in high season.
