About

C. S. Watersports operates out of Junkanoo Beach, Nassau's most accessible public beach just minutes from the cruise port and downtown.

The location makes this a practical stop for families spending time in central Nassau who want to add water activities without driving to a resort beach. The operation is compact — a small team, quick bookings, and a focused menu of water activities that typically includes jet ski rentals and water toy experiences. With a perfect 5-star rating (albeit from a small number of reviews), the operator clearly delivers a quality, personal experience.

Kids who are comfortable in the water and at least 8 years old will get the most out of it. Junkanoo Beach itself is a bonus: it's free to use, has some shade trees, beach chairs available for rent, and a few snack vendors. That means you can combine a watersports session with a full beach morning without spending more than you planned.

The beach is popular with locals, which gives it a more authentic Nassau feel compared to the tourist-heavy Cable Beach strip. The trade-off is that facilities are more basic — no resort pools or swim-up bars nearby. The operation is open 7 days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM.

Mornings are best for flat water; afternoons can get choppy depending on trade winds. Given the downtown location, this is also easy to fold into a day that includes the Straw Market, Bay Street shopping, or the Queen's Staircase.
