  4 Hr custom day cruise on August 18, 2026 • 12 adults

  If you are thinking about renting a private Catamaran, DO IT!! We were a party of 12 and we did 4 hrs (wish we did it longer), I have to say we had the most amazing, relaxing day with Captain Smitty and his mate Connor. Communication was the best, he responded promptly, Captain Smitty, was so kind and helpful with us ordering a bunch of food to take on his boat, which was delicious, the boat was spotless and beyond big enough for all of us (the bean bags are definitely a plus). They took us to the most beautiful place to snorkel, and paddle board and everyone loved it, then he took us to the cliffs to jump off which was amazing, Connor jumped in with us and showed us how to climb up, it was incredible. Thank you Captain Smitty and Connor we will see you again hopefully one day soon!!!

  A cant miss boat experience!!

  3 Hr custom day cruise - 3:00 PM on July 6, 2026 • 3 adults

  Weve done plenty of fun and beautiful excursions at cruise ports - this one was top tier!! We rented the boat for 3 hours - it was worth every single penny. Memories of a lifetime. Captain Smitty picked us right up at the cruise port- so easy to find. The boat was clean and well maintained. He was down for whatever we wanted to do and also provided recommendations. We wanted to cliff jump so he took us there and deckhand Connor got out with us which was awesome so that my 13 year old son was comfortable. We let off close to the cave and just got to enjoy the raw beauty. Then hung out on the overwater net on the beanbags and basked in the sun as we went to a uboat shipwreck, fed the fish and then headed to a uncrowded beach where we could jump in and stand pretty quickly. He provided some drinks, we could pick our own music & it was such a chill time. Id book a cruise back to Bermuda just to do it again!!

  Memories are forever

  4 Hr custom day cruise (copy) on June 15, 2026 • 21 adults • 1 child

  Our private catamaran excursion with Nirvana Sailing Charters was absolutely the highlight of our vacation! We chartered the boat for a wedding group of 20+ people, and Captain Smitty and his mate, Conor, exceeded our expectations in every way. From the very beginning, communication leading up to the event was excellent, making the entire planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of our excursion, we had a guest in a wheelchair, and Captain Smitty and Conor went above and beyond to accommodate her. They were incredibly kind and attentive, assisting her with getting on and off the boat and helping with her wheelchair so she could fully enjoy the experience. The catamaran was clean and comfortable, the drinks were delicious, and there were plenty of fun extras like noodles and paddle boards. Captain Smitty took us to an incredible spot for cliff jumping and then to a beautiful private beach where we could snorkel, float, or simply relax in the crystal-clear water. One of the most memorable moments was when Conor swam out to us with rum swizzles while we were in the water! They also gave us a scenic tour of some of Bermuda's beautiful homes and knew exactly how to maximize our time, getting us quickly from one location to the next so we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. As Bermuda locals, they were extremely knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. Captain Smitty and Conor were laid back, easygoing, and truly made the experience feel like a day out with friends. They let us control the music, created a fun and relaxing atmosphere, and made sure everyone had an amazing time. I cannot recommend Nirvana Sailing Charters highly enough. If you're visiting Bermuda and looking for an unforgettable experience, do yourself a favor and book a trip. You won't regret it!

  Absolutely Amazing Trip!

  3 Hr custom day cruise on May 23, 2026 • 15 adults • 7 children

  We went with a group of 15 and had an absolutely blast! Captain Smitty was very responsive with any questions I had before hand. The boat was the perfect size for our group! He had paddleboards, snorkel gear, soda products, and a delicious Rum drink. We got to jump off the boat for some fun too! We docked at a shallow area for snorkeling and then went to the cliffs for some jumping! Conor was an awesome guide! He showed us a secret way into the caves to jump off the cliffs! Hands down the best excursion we have ever done! Well worth it!

  A great Afternoon on Bermuda’s Water

  3 Hr custom day cruise - 10:00 AM on August 22, 2026 • 11 adults

  Our group of 11 had a great time on the water with Capt Smitty and his 1st Mate Connor. Cliff diving in a rainstorm was a bucket list activity that we didnt know we had! Then Capt brought us to a great little beach where the rain magically disappeared. They had paddleboards, noodles and a very relaxing water hammock for us to enjoy and relax. Drinks flowed for the entire 3 hours and it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Book it and do it with Capt Smitty and Connor!
