Let’s be real: there’s Bahamas, and then there’s Bahamas done right. And if your group trip, bachelorette weekend, or epic birthday bash doesn’t include a First Strike Charters experience, you’re basically leaving half the fun on the dock.

‍

‍

First Strike Charters is the local legend for turning a sunny Nassau afternoon into a story you’ll be telling for years. With a Bahamian-owned and operated fleet, they’ve mastered the art of private charters, from luxury yachts built for champagne-toasting on the bow to a legit 140-foot pirate ship straight out of your childhood imagination (minus the plank-walking).

‍

Two Ways to Rule the Waters

1. Snorkel with Turtles and Swim with Pigs

Hop aboard your choice of a sleek 43’ Luxury Sport Yacht or a spacious 58’ Striker Yacht, crank up your playlist on the state-of-the-art sound system, and jet off to nearby islands. Snorkel over vibrant reefs, glide alongside friendly sea turtles, and yes, finally tick off that swim with pigs Nassau bucket-list moment.

‍

Perfect for bachelorette crews, bachelor parties, or just an excuse to day-drink in paradise, this charter has it all:

‍

• - All snorkel gear provided (no awkward rental shop stops)
• - Fun noodles for floating with your drink in hand
• - VIP drink specials and pre-stocked galley options
• - Private onboard bathroom so you can stay ocean-side all day

‍

Pro tip: add the Swimming Pigs stop for just $40/person - it covers their care and ups your Instagram game instantly.

2. The Pirate Ship Party You Didn’t Know You Needed

If your group prefers a little more swashbuckle with their sunset views, the Pirate Ship Private Celebration is basically your fantasy come to life. This 140-foot, 18th-century vessel isn’t just themed…it’s the real deal. Think: three decks, eight restrooms, ADA accessibility, and a fully stocked bar (rum punch included, obviously).

‍

Customize your voyage with live DJs, Bahamian bands, full catering, open bar packages, and even a fully costumed pirate crew complete with cannon blasts. Whether you’re throwing a corporate party, a wedding after-party, or a 200-person birthday blowout, this ship has the space (and the vibes) to make it unforgettable.

What Makes First Strike Charters Different

‍

First Strike isn’t just another boat rental, it’s a first-class voyage from start to finish. Here’s why they stand out:

‍

• - Spacious decks & air-conditioned staterooms for that perfect sun/AC balance
• - Bluetooth-enabled sound systems to play the soundtrack of your trip
• - Customizable experiences, from deep-sea fishing to barefoot beach exploring
• - Bahamian expertise that comes from being locally owned and operated
• - Scenic routes only accessible by boat, with wildlife spotting, remote islands, and powder-white beaches

‍

The Bahamas’ calm, crystal-clear waters mean smooth sailing (literally), so you can relax, soak in the views, and toast to your best vacation decision yet.

How to Make It Happen

Both experiences are private charter only, which means it’s just your crew on board. Book well in advance, especially for the pirate ship, which has to work around scheduled tours, and consider adding custom touches like bartenders, live music, or catered meals.

‍

Whether you’re here for a girls’ trip, milestone birthday, family reunion, or the most legendary bachelor weekend of all time, a Bahamas group travel itinerary isn’t complete without First Strike Charters.
