44' Catamaran Party Boat In Grand Bahamas Island

Our excursion with Captain Rico was great! We were a group of 25 that had some special requests and he was very accomodating. He knew I was concerned about making it back to the cruise ship on time but was able to get in all the fun acitivities. Snorkeling, private beach and jet skiing. The group agreed it was the highlight of the cruise!

He was such a great captain. He provided everything that was listed. We had such a great time!

Seeing the dolphins was very entertaining.

We booked a catamaran and ended up on a fishing boat. The listing said 10+ people needed for the catamaran. When we questioned the boat upon boarding, we were told it was 15+ people. The kids (and adults) were really looking forward to lounging on the nets over the water on the catamaran. This was a big deal to us, coming from the Pacific Northwest as it is something we don’t have here. We have plenty of fishing boats and wouldn’t have paid this kind of money for that. This was supposed to be a special Christmas present for our families. Had we known ahead of time about the boat, that would have been one thing. Maybe we could have negotiated a lower price, or even cancelled. But being blind sided at departure was a bit of a shock and we had to make the best of the situation. They were kind enough to drop us off at Taino and Port Lucaya. However, at the Taino drop off it was more of a passing by the dock and get off as the boat is moving. The last person at that location (myself) ended up getting dropped off at a different dock at Taino and was trapped behind a locked gate and private property. I had to climb down onto a jet ski dock and scale a wall/fence to get to the rest of our group. Listing mentioned a pirate ship and private island. We saw neither of those, unless you count hurricane boats as pirate ships. The “private island” was someone’s private beach on the main island. As far as food goes, the lobster was good, the chicken was dry.
