A Nassau to Exuma Day Trip on an Exuma Powerboat Adventure

By Jennifer Dombrowski 9 Comments

Over my two week trip island hopping around the Bahamas, I managed to visit 13 islands and cays. Some locals even told me that I’d seen more of the Bahamas than they had. So I feel confident in declaring that the Exuma Cays are my favorite place in the Bahamas. Nassau is easy to reach in as little as an hour from Florida and three hours from NYC, Philadelphia or even Toronto on a number of daily direct flights. Travel to Exuma is a bit more of a challenge. Though daily flights operate on airlines like SkyBahamas , it’s a tad more expensive once you get there with far fewer hotel options than bustling Nassau. I did spend several days staying on Great Exuma, but you can also get a taste of the beauty of the Exumas on the Exuma Powerboat Adventure day tour I went on from Nassau.

The Exuma Cays

The Exuma Cays begin southwest of Nassau and stretch in almost a straight line like stepping stones for some 90 miles to the south toward Turks and Caicos. With 365 islands and cays making up the Exuma chain of the Bahamas and a population of just around 4000 distributed among a few populated islands like Great Exuma, Little Exuma and Staniel Cay, it’s no wonder that these islands have long been a haven for celebrities seeking a little anonymity.

Princess Margaret, Jackie Onassis and Jessica Tandy have all been frequent visitors. Other celebrities like Johnny Depp, David Copperfield, Nicholas Cage and Faith Hill and Tim McGraw all own private islands in the Exumas. And even the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar was once upon a time associated with briefly running a drug smuggling ring from Norman’s Cay in the Exumas, before the Bahamian government cracked down on it.

Nassau to Exuma Day Trip with Powerboat Adventures

Exuma Cays adventures truly belong on your Bahamian bucket list. Even if you can’t make the trip to stay a few days, Exuma excursions from Nassau give you a taste of just how gorgeous this part of the Bahamas is.

Powerboat Adventures whisks you from Nassau to Exuma in style. The powerboat offers a shaded inside area for those that want to escape the sun and spray. The more adventurous, or maybe a more accurate description would be the just asking for it, can take a seat up front. I opted for inside since I would be getting plenty of sunshine while on our private island, Ship Channel Cay, for the day.

Powerboat Adventures Exuma escaptes include two stops, and the first was at Allan’s Cay. The cay is home to about 30 or so critically endangered Exuma Rock Iguanas. There are estimated to be only around 1300 left and any islands where they live are protected from development for conservation efforts.

I’d already visited with the Exuma Rock Iguanas on Leaf Cay, once owned by Nicholas Cage, while staying in the Exumas a few days earlier. The Exuma Rock Iguanas on Allan’s Cay were a lot more skittish, running up to grab the grapes we’d brought fir them and then scurrying back inside the bush.

Though the Powerboat Adventure wasn’t a big and packed tour by any means, it was a much larger group tour than the one I’d gone on to see the iguanas on Leaf Cay. I fed the iguanas my handful of grapes, then used the rest of the 20 minutes we stopped to enjoy a swim in the crystal clear waters instead of chasing the iguanas around.

From Allan’s Cay, it wasn’t long to reach our destination for the day: Ship Channel Cay. Ship Channel Cay is the northernmost island of the Exuma Cays, but the private island gives you a taste of the white sugar sand beaches and no less than a dozen shades of jade, teal, turquoise and neon blue that seem to swirl in to one another.

You can’t help but pause on the dock to take it all in. But the lure of snacks like sandwiches, chips and salsa and veggies with dip gets the better of you before too long. Also included in the tour is the open bar, so Bahama Mamas were calling my name. (Not sure what kind of tropical drink to order? Savored Sips has 10 tropical drink suggestions for you.)

Sufficiently filled up on snacks and with drinks in hand, the stingrays now commanded our group’s attention. Many of these uninhabited islands were once stopping points for fisherman to clean their catch and the stingrays got used to the sound of the boat engines meaning an easy meal. Not long after we arrived, we could see the dark silhouettes of the stingrays coming to see if we’d brought them anything.

We did, of course. We all lined up in a single line down the beach and our guides for the day gave us each fish to feed the stingrays.

The stingrays, though wild, aren’t dangerous unless you get anxious and step on them. If they feel threatened, they could use the barb on their tails to defend themselves. But in general, they are gentle giants that like to suck the fish out of your hand and enjoy a good rub. They’re sort of like the dogs of the ocean.

The other thing all that fish attracts are sharks. And before too long, a dozen or so lemon, nurse and black tip reef sharks also came to see if there was an easy meal for them. And I don’t mean us.

To get a good look at the sharks, especially the biggest lemon shark of the bunch, one of our guides put on a shark wrangling show. Shark wrangling is essentially putting a fish on a line and reeling the shark in as close to the beach as you can. And these big boys did not want to let go of the fish. We made sure that all of the sharks had their fill of fish because we were about to get in the water and snorkel with them.

Ship Channel Cay is in a unique location and experiences a strong current that comes in from the open water. The open water creates a strong current right across the coral reef that is in the swimming pool-like bay created by the surrounding islands. The conditions are perfect for drift snorkeling.

Typically snorkeling is a great activity that just about anyone can do. You put on your mask and snorkel and mosey about at your own pace.

Drift snorkeling is an entirely different experience though. With the strong current, it’s kind of like getting taken along on a car ride as the current quickly carries you along. You need to be a confident swimmer in order to control yourself and get out out of the water.

The guides come along and provide safety equipment like flotation vests. Everyone enters from a spot down the beach, then the current carries you over the reef. You can exit out on to the beach and go again if you like. I did it several times because the visibility was so good and the reef was teeming with sea life.

We drift snorkeled over the reef a couple of times, and then it was time for lunch. In my hungry state from snorkeling, swimming and frolicking about on the beach, I was a bad blogger and didn’t get any photos of the lunch. So you’ll have to trust me when I tell you that it was an awesome buffet that had something for even the pickiest of eaters. There were grilled steaks, fish, pasta, steamed veggies, salads, fresh fruit, cheese and even hot dogs for the kids.

Though Ship Channel Cay is beautiful enough to be entertaining all on its own, our guides weren’t done with their shows just yet. After lunch was cleaned up, we were treated to a conch salad show. During drift snorkeling, our guides had picked up conch and now we learned how to remove them from their beautiful shells and clean them.

Conch are sort of like a sea snail and are popularly eaten raw in conch salad or fried in conch fritters. To crack a conch, you crack it with a little hammer on what is called the third crown. Then you use the knife to loosen it and pull it out by its horn.

I’ve consumed plenty of conch in fritters, salad and chowders but I’ve never actually seen one pulled right out of its’ shell. They were quite a bit larger than I expected and I had no idea that they have a penis.

Honestly, while I was fascinated and still totally dug right in to that conch salad once it was prepared, I’m one that would just rather be naive about how my food goes from ocean to plate. Even so, it was delicious and conch salad doesn’t get much fresher than the one on the Powerboat Adventures Exuma tours from Nassau.

With all the activities and entertainment, the day at Ship Channel Cay flew by. All too soon the bell was ringing to signal it was time to pack up beach blankets and be back on board or be left deserted on the island. Though I’d already spent several days staying at Sandals Emerald Bay on Great Exuma, the Powerboat Adventure offered up one of the best Nassau excursions I’d been on and was one of my favorite Bahamas excursions of my entire two week trip.

I sat back and let the sun and salty breeze kiss my skin while speeding along on the powerboat as we made our way back from Exuma to Nassau. Without a doubt, this had been one of my favorite day trips from Nassau.

Looks absolutely stunning, Jennifer! This is my kind of island, but not so sure about those sharks! Wow, never heard of shark-wrangling, but it must have been a sight to see up close. Exuma is now on my list! Thanks!

I am sitting here in Michigan freezing cold – I have got to plan a warm weather trip this winter! This looks just glorious!!

Oh my goodness, you’ve got to go Liz! The Bahamas is so easy to reach, even for a weekend getaway, from much of the East Coast and Mid West.

I have heard amazing things about the Exuma Cays – what an amazing experience you had!! And I’m not so sure I’d be brave enough to snorkel after seeing those sharks!!

November 16, 2015 at 11:09 AM

I think those sharks are very used to people being around and wouldn’t be an issue. They weren’t interested in us at all once we were snorkeling and kept their distance.

Look at those beautiful sharks!! I’ve never heard of a lemon shark before! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It looks beautiful!

One person cannot climb up a ladder out of the water. Did you have to do this at all to get into the boat?

March 11, 2023 at 4:26 PM

No, the boat tied up to a wooden jetty. You can see the jetty in some of the photos in my article. You would have to be able to step down in to the boat from the jetty and then step up on to the jetty. The guides offer a hand to help you. You don’t have to climb a ladder to get in and out of the boat.

Climb aboard our high speed powerboat for the most exhilarating voyage of your life. Experience the rush of adrenaline as you depart Nassau for the secluded Exuma Cays.

You'll need to hold tight to your seat as our boat slices through the cerulean Bahamian waters at over 40mph to transport you to remote pristine islands. In the Exumas, you will view coral gardens as you snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, and feed wild stingrays and iguanas... all the while surrounded by some of the most awe-inspiring panoramas on earth on your very own private island, Ship Channel Cay.

The towering landmark of the Atlantis Resort fades into the horizon as we leave for the first stop on the tour the remote oasis of Allan's Cay. This pristine island is home to the critically endangered Allen's Cay Rock Iguana (Cyclura cychlura inornata). This protected species of lizard, called the Bahamian Dragon by locals, will happily approach our party for a tasty treat of grapes. Be sure to snap some photos of this ancient species. Powerboat Adventures is pleased to provide transportation to this island for ecologists, marine biologists, and environmental researchers in order to assist in the effort to study and conserve this threatened species.

After saying farewell to our reptilian hosts, enjoy the thrill of the trademark Miami Vice high-speed ride to our ultimate tour destination, the secluded island paradise of Ship Channel Cay. After arriving on the soft white sand of Ship Channel Cay's pristine beaches, meet the friendly inhabitants of the shallows, the stingrays. These gentle creatures love to be hand fed and don't mind an occasional tickle on their silky skin.The free lunch attracts another resident of these waters, the sharks. The stingrays will disperse as Nurse, Reef and Lemon sharks arrive to be fed by our guides. Visitors have the opportunity to click some photos of these incredible predators. If you are brave enough, you can even try some underwater photography.

This exciting encounter certainly explains why our tour has been featured on both the E! Television Network and the Discovery Channel. Enjoy drift snorkeling around the spectacular reefs, teeming with coral gardens and marine life.

We'll accommodate diners with special dietary needs. Also, enjoy our open bar, available to you for the entire day.

Swimming Pigs Experience 

Unlike any other!

Island Escapes Bahamas Ltd started as a micro business back in 2014 when two young sailors decided to bridge the gap between Nassau Bahamas and the Exuma cays on a daily schedule. This distance covered some 100 nautical miles one way and a little over 200 nautical miles round trip. The feat seemed impossible initially as the only water craft we had access to was just a mere 28 feet in length. In modern day terms, it could easily be classified as a dinghy. The company built its legacy taking 8 passengers along with Captain and Mate over the deep blues of the Atlantic Ocean daily facing treacherous weather and seas until the brand was forced to be recognized on a national scale.

Since 2014, (formerly Exuma Escapes) has provided the best island excursions from Nassau! With a large fleet of vessels, highly-experienced staff and captains, and world-class service, our customers leave every experience with a smile and a lifetime of memories. Take a look at what our customers think of our experiences!
