Nassau Water Activities Guide 2026 — Snorkeling, Jet Ski & Catamarans
Turquoise water minutes from the port
Few places put world-class water this close to a cruise dock. From Nassau harbour you're 15-30 minutes from living reefs, sandbars and the famous Paradise Island lagoons.
What to book
- Reef snorkeling trips: shallow, clear and full of life — great for first-timers. From ~$60.
- Catamaran day sails: swim stops, open bars and Paradise Island views. From ~$90.
- Jet ski rentals: ride Cable Beach's calm turquoise strip.
- Private charters: your own boat for sandbar-hopping — best value split between groups.
Cruise passenger tips
- Book tours that depart near the cruise port and confirm return times against your all-aboard.
- December-April has the calmest seas; summer brings warm water and lower prices.
- US dollars are accepted everywhere 1:1 with Bahamian dollars.
- Morning trips beat the afternoon chop and the crowds.
