3 Hour – Snorkeling Beach Day (AM)
Bahamas Perfection
I had the pleasure of joining Captain Derlano Mcminns for a three-hour tour, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, Captain Derlano was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. One of the most exciting parts of the tour was swimming with sea turtles and the schools of colorful fish. To top it all off, we were able to enjoy an island all to ourselves. If you’re looking for a memorable adventure with a knowledgeable and friendly guide, I highly recommend booking a tour with Captain Derlano Mcminns. It was a fantastic experience that I’ll never forget!

Great experience
If you are looking for a private boat trip look no further! Derlano was great and made us feel welcome, he listened to our wishes on the day, we got to do some snorkelling, swim with Turtles and visit the Footprints beach bar on rose island which was absolutely breathtaking! If we return back to the Bahamas we will definitely be choosing Aquanaut again!

Perfect snorkeling adventure!
This company was fantastic. They were on time and made sure we had a great time. We wanted to snorkel and we weren’t disappointed. Captain Derlano Mcminns was easy to talk to and very responsive in arranging the trip. He sent Captain Sterlin to pick us up on the day of our trip. Captain Sterlin took us to two reefs and made sure my family had a great time! I would recommend them to anyone wanting to book a private boat in Nassau. We would definitely use them again.

We booked a 4 hour snorkeling boat for family of 4 with Captain Derlano. It was fantastic. We got a private boat tour of millionaires row houses. Then hit local snorkeling spots so we could swim with turtles and reef fish. Very cool.

Great experience
Captain Derlano was so nice and went over our planned itinerary before we left the dock, it was everything we discussed. Omar, his deck hand, was quite enjoyable as well! They were amazing with our family and our kids had the best time. Derlano even had kid toys for them to play with at the private beach we stopped at. Both were very knowledgeable and we loved learning about the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again for a day out on the water in Nassau! We throughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you Derlano and Omar!!!!
