The Best Boat Rentals Near Spanish Wells

65ft Sea Ray Motor Yacht for VIP Experience in Nassau, Bahamas

We recently rented the 65ft yacht for a boating experience, and overall it was a beautiful vessel with a professional and responsive crew. Communication leading up to the trip and during the charter was excellent, and the staff was friendly and accommodating throughout the day. However, there were a few disappointments that future renters should be aware of. We specifically chose this yacht — which was priced higher than comparable options — because it advertised the inclusion of a jet ski. Two weeks before our trip, I reached out to confirm the jet ski would be available and did not receive a response. I followed up again a week later and was then informed that the jet ski was not available. I explained that we booked this particular yacht and paid a premium specifically because of that feature. I was told they would work on getting one for us. When we arrived, there was a jet ski on the boat (it appeared to be a permanent boat ski), but we were told the day of that we could not use it. This was very disappointing and felt misleading, especially given the higher price point tied to that advertised amenity. We also added “catering” to our booking at a cost of over $500. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. It consisted of basic white-bread sandwiches, frozen French fries and sweet potato fries, frozen chicken patties on buns, and a simple iceberg lettuce salad with cut tomatoes — all combined in one metal tray. It felt very basic and not reflective of the premium experience we anticipated. Regarding the route, I asked multiple times in advance what the itinerary would be and was told it could be whatever we wanted. While that flexibility is nice in theory, it would have been helpful to receive suggested routes or options since we were not familiar with the area. We docked briefly at Rose Island and cruised past Atlantis Paradise Island, which I was excited to see. However, a more structured or suggested itinerary would improve the overall guest experience. All in all, we had a nice day on a beautiful yacht with a great crew. I would consider booking again, but I would skip the catering services and strongly recommend confirming — in writing — any advertised amenities such as jet skis before booking.

Nassau 4 Island boat tour-Snorkeling, Sightseeing, Pigs, turtles & private beach

Our day trip with Leroy was so much fun! He took us to so many beautiful beaches and we got to snorkel which was really fun! We booked with him super last minute and he was able to pick us up from our hotel beach. Definitely recommend!

Nassau;Rose Island tours; turtles, pigs, snorkel beach time, full day w/fishing

Twelve of us in our 60s stopped via cruise. The owner was great with communications on weather updates and agenda ideas from booking on. Leslie the captain and Amari the first mate were outstanding, we toured by homes, stopped at Gilligan's deserted island, and had lunch at Footprints restaurant on Rose Island, great service and food there as well. My entire group rated these guys and owner a 10 all day long. The boat was by far the best in the harbor, very clean, comfortable and well maintained 38' with plenty of seating. Thanks for a great day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – Highly Recommend Captain Gunther! Captain Gunther took my boyfriend and I out on a half-day boat excursion yesterday and it was absolutely incredible. We covered so much ground and saw the best of Harbour Island/ Spanish Wells. We fed stingrays, fed sea turtles, and explored some truly beautiful spots. Gunther was amazing friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and relaxed. The boat itself was very comfortable and spotless, which made the day even better. I would 100% recommend Captain Gunther to anyone visiting Harbour Island, and we will definitely be booking with him again when we’re back in the Bahamas!

The Wanderlust Ultimate Catamaran Adventure

Great day on the boat with David & Z! They were great host who made us feel welcome. We snorkel’d twice where we saw turtles & a reef teaming with fish. If we ever come back we’ll definitely do this again. Our only regret is that we didn’t book an entire day!

Captain Winston had a trip cancellation earlier which freed up a larger boat. He upgraded us without additional charge. His crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Would hire his services again in the future.
