Bahamas Perfection

3 Hour – Snorkeling Beach Day (AM) on January 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

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!

Best Day Ever!!!

Special 4 hour trip for Laura Mckissack on July 1, 2026 • 4 adults

Captin Lano was the absolute best.  He took us all around snorkeling, sight seeing and to a private beach. He even brought toys for my 3 kiddos to play with in the water.   His music selection for the boat ride was also amazing!  We can’t wait to come back to the bahamas and have him as a captain again.  Take the trip with captin Lano, you will not regret it!!!

Great experience

3 Hour – Snorkeling Beach Day (PM) on March 5, 2026 • 2 adults

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!

Captain Delano was amazing!

4 Hour – Snorkeling Beach Day (AM) on March 24, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Delano knew everything about the island, he was able to answer all our questions and provide fun tid bits of info. He was friendly, funny, and reliable. He made sure we felt safe on the boat but still allowed us to have fun. We are a group of 5 college students, and had a great time, would highly recommend to anyone.
