This boat tour was hands-down the highlight of my entire trip to Nassau! From the moment we set out on the sparkling turquoise water, it felt like we were in a dream. The crew was incredible—fun, professional, and full of local knowledge that made the day even more special. The ride itself was smooth and scenic, with jaw-dropping views of the islands. But the true magic? Meeting the iconic swimming pigs! Feeding and swimming alongside them was surreal, hilarious, and totally unforgettable. We also stopped at postcard-perfect shallow banks, snorkeled in crystal-clear water, and soaked in the sunshine on the open sea. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. If you’re in the Bahamas and don’t book this tour—you’re seriously missing out!

This was the highlight of our stay here in Nassau, it was a day we will never forget. The captain put us on a great reef to snorkel where we saw lots of turtles and some conch. We also got to spend time on private beaches where we were the only ones there - my favorite part.  The rum punch was so delicious, I’m still begging for the recipe (lol). The boat was clean and spacious! He also gave us great recommendations for our time in the island. This was totally worth every penny! Great value, this trip exceeded our expectations. Captain Chris gave us more than we could have asked for. Everything was perfect. Thanks again for an amazing time!

Captain Chris checked every box when it came to our half-day, fully customizable boat tour of the Bahamas.  He paid very close attention to our requests, especially the very important detail that neither of us were very seasoned on boats and made sure to not take us into rough waters where we would get sick. With him growing up in the area, he made sure to point out facts about the island along the way and was able to take us to places that weren’t packed with other tourists. He was on time, friendly and courteous. The boat was well taken care of, comfortable and clean. This was by far the best money spent on our trip and we will refer all friends to Captain Chris and North Shore Tours and can’t wait to come back!

We decided to get a private charter instead of do an excursion with the Cruise ship. We got right off the boat and walked to the marina (so close to the port). Captain Chris met us right at the meeting point on time.  Because it was just my family of four, we were able to do all the things we wanted to do and just a half day trip. Captain Chris took us through Atlantis, over to visit the pigs, to a great snorkel space, and then off to a private beach. Our teenage boys had the best day, and we loved relaxing on the boat and seeing the most beautiful beach ever. I cannot recommend a private charter over one of the large tours enough. It is such a great way to customize it and do it just like you want, and Captain Chris gave us the perfect day!
