About

Aqua Shores offers luxury powerboat tours departing from Nassau's Marina Way, with a focus on taking families and small groups to the best natural highlights of the Bahamian waters around Nassau. With 145 Google reviews at 4. 8 stars, this is one of Nassau's most consistently praised boat tour operators.

Tours typically include stops at the famous Rose Island sandbars, snorkeling reefs with clear water and healthy coral, and sometimes the Exuma swimming pigs or other nearby Bahamian attractions depending on the itinerary. The boats are genuinely fast — speedboat transit rather than slow pontoon drift — which keeps the energy high and lets the tours cover more ground. For kids, the combination of high-speed water travel, jumping into shallow sandbars, and spotting sea life while snorkeling checks every box for an unforgettable day.

The crew is attentive and knowledgeable, handling everything from life jackets to reef briefings with professionalism. Private charters are available for families who want complete control over the itinerary and stops. Shared tours are considerably more affordable and often put you alongside other families traveling with kids, which adds to the social experience.

The Marina Way location is on Nassau's eastern side, so plan transportation in advance. Booking several days ahead is essential during peak tourist months.

Why Kids Love It

Aqua Shores runs luxury speedboat tours that stop at sandbar swimming spots, snorkeling reefs, and local beach bars. Kids get to ride fast on open ocean water and then jump off the boat into crystal-clear Bahamian shallows — that combination of speed and splashing is basically the ideal day for anyone under 16.

Pro Tips from Parents

  • Shared group tours are a fraction of the private charter cost and often equally fun for families with kids
  • Ask specifically about sandbar stops when booking — the shallow clear water is where kids have the most fun
  • Reef-safe sunscreen is required on any stop near coral; pack it in your bag, not just your checked luggage

What to Bring

  • Reef-safe sunscreen — required for reef stops
  • A dry bag or waterproof phone case
  • Light snacks and water for multi-hour tours
