Friendly guides for Paradise.

Jim, Maggie, Jingles


The consensus is:  "The Bahamas is as good as it gets." 

 And we love showing people the best of the Bahama Islands.  With over 15 years of experience boating and enjoying the many wonders of the islands, we are ready and eager to help you design a vacation you will always treasure.  Bob & Loretta,  Carolyn & Charles, and Tom & Kate, have generously provided accounts of their experiences with us.  (Just click on their names to see what they have to say.)

We offer you the opportunity for a guided, fun, captained charter, tailored to your interests, at affordable rates.  This season, beginning approximately January 15--May 15, we will be based in the Exuma chain, at Georgetown, Great Exuma.  However, we will be visiting numerous fantastic islands en route.  See "Cruising Packages" for information about places to join us along the way.

Jim is our coast-guard-licensed and very talented captain, who was a banker in what we boaters call  his "former life," but who has captained numerous vessels from 10-person ferries to 110-foot oil spill cleanup vessels. Maggie is the "mate" (who also has a captain's license), a former teacher/paralegal, but now strictly a people-pleaser who serves up those acclaimed meals.  Both captain and mate make it a point to seek out and organize fun experiences. And then there is our 10-pound, 7-year-old Maltese mix Jingles, who never met a person who didn't adore her.

Our boat, Blue Tang, is a very safe, comfortable home-away-from-home.

Grand Bahama Island

What we remember about this beach at Old Bahama Bay Resort is not only the exquisite beach but the excellent Pina Coladas!

Old Bahama Bay Resort is anything but old.  It has been gorgeously renovated, having been previously called Jack Tar's.  It is at the very tip of Grand Bahama Island known as West End.

We came for a day and stayed for a week, feeling that we had truly "arrived".

 This area is known for its  fantastic deep sea fishing.

We met pro golfer Robert Allenby at Old Bahama Bay when he was participating in a fishing tournament as we were passing through and enjoying the beach and the resort.

Cruising Suggestions:  If you do not care to make the Gulf Stream crossing aboard Blue Tang, you can fly into Freeport, Grand Bahama, where we
will meet you at the airport and begin your vacation to paradise!  After enjoying Old Bahama Bay and Grand Bahama, including Freeport, for as long as you want, you may either accompany us as we island hop down to the Abaco Islands or return back home from Freeport.
