About
Wild Willy's Water Sports and Tours operates from the Antiki Floating Bar on East Bay Street, one of Nassau's more iconic and unusual landmarks. The floating bar itself draws attention — it's a Bahamian institution anchored in the harbor, accessible by boat, and a favorite for locals and tourists who want to have a drink on the open water. Wild Willy's leverages this location to offer watersports in a festive, social setting that's unlike the more straightforward beach and marina operators.
With a perfect 5-star rating across 36 reviews, the operation is doing something right. For families, this is best framed as an afternoon activity for older kids and teens — the floating bar atmosphere is lively and the kids who thrive here are ones who like being in a fun, social environment rather than just riding waves in silence. Activities typically include jet ski rentals, water toy experiences, and tours around Nassau Harbour.
East Bay Street is on the eastern edge of downtown Nassau, putting it close to Paradise Island and the main harbor area. Kids need to be 8 and up for most activities, and parents should know this is a party-adjacent setting — fun, not rowdy, but with a different energy than a family resort beach.
