Boat cruises in Nassau leave the harbour past the cruise ships and head east to Rose Island, where the half day snorkel cruises anchor for a swim and a beach stop. The 6 cruises on this page were picked by hand after we read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a seat on the boat club from €81 per person; the most expensive are private half day cruises priced for the whole boat with lunch on board.
Public cruises sell by the seat and private cruises by the vessel, so a group of six should price both. Lunch is included on the Rose Island boat tours and drinks on the party versions; the snorkel stop is optional on most. Nassau's harbour can be choppy when ships are moving, and the cruises are cancelled in strong winds rather than sailed. Departures are from the Paradise Island side or downtown, both near the port.
