What you'll do:

You'll spend four hours on a private Bahamas boat charter, cruising clear turquoise water with a licensed local captain and crew who know these islands as well as anyone alive.

• Snorkeling reefs: You'll drop into some of the Bahamas' most colorful reef systems with gear provided by the crew.

• Swimming with pigs: You'll wade in with the famous Bahamian swimming pigs at one of the most photographed stops in the islands.

• Sea turtle spotting: The crew navigates to known turtle habitats, giving your group a real chance at close encounters in the wild.

• Beach stops: You'll pull up to a secluded stretch of sand for time to swim, relax, and take in the scenery.

• Sunset cruise option: Groups looking for a slower pace can book an evening departure and watch the sky change color on the water.

Every stop is chosen by Captain Patch, a Bahamian native who has been running these waters since 1996.

Why you'll love it for your group:

1. Private charter: Your group has the entire 35-foot Marlin center console to yourselves, no strangers, no shared schedule.

2. Local expertise: Captain Patch holds a 100-ton Masters A-Class Captain license and has guided groups across the Bahamas for nearly three decades.

3. Celebration-ready: The boat and crew are experienced with birthdays, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, and large group trips that want something genuinely different.

4. Music on the water: The crew keeps the energy right with onboard music throughout the charter.

5. Flexible itinerary: Captain Patch builds the route around what your group actually wants, whether that leans toward adventure or total relaxation.
