You’ll be completely captivated by what you see in this amazing underwater world.
Some of the world’s most beautiful stretches of sea surround Grand Bahama Island. That’s why many visitors choose to arrive the old fashioned way: by sailing into port.

Be adventurous at sea! There’s nothing quite like skimming the turquoise waters of Grand Bahama Island at high speeds on a jet-ski while surrounded by spectacular scenery.
