Great tour

Captain Bodie private boat experience
The private boat tour was the perfect solution for our family of 8 for the day in Nassau while on a Royal Caribbean cruise. The meeting spot where you board the boat is walking distance to the cruise pier so that’s a big plus. Captain Bodie was great! All the stops were wonderful with the best beaches and water. Because it’s a private boat you can choose how long to stay at each location. They provide snorkeling gear, refreshments and rum punch and a light snack so you just need towels, sunscreen.

Pigs and Turtles and Rum Punch - Oh My!
Thank you Captain Bodie for a great day! It was a little difficult to find the meet up point, but as soon as we were onboard everything was perfect.

Flexible
Our cruise didn’t disembark on time so we were an hour late and captain Chris waited and accommodated us. We are able to feed the pigs and snorkeled with turtles and fish even with our trip cut short

**5 Stars — Highly Recommend**
We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Chris! He was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and had a great attitude throughout the entire trip. We had a minor delay after hitting a piece of driftwood in the harbor, but he handled it professionally and never let it impact the experience. A truly seasoned pro!! The tour was overall fantastic -- the water was clear, snorkeling and turtles were amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. 100% would recommend Captain Chris and would absolutely do this tour again!!

Why this scores 65

Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nassau.
How much does Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles cost?
+
Prices start at $799 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nassau usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nassau is not rushed.
Is Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nassau, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nassau can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nassau and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Nassau Rose Island Boat Tour Swimming Pigs, Turtles start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nassau within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nassau?
+
On Outty we rank every Nassau experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bites of Nassau Food and Walking Tour, Rum Tasting and Food Walking Tour in Nassau Bahamas, Pirate Jeep Sightseeing Adventure!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nassau?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nassau?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
