Keep the Beach. Skip the Extras.

Same white-sand beaches. Same iconic lighthouse. Same turquoise water. The difference? Lunch isn’t included, so you choose whether to grab something on the island or simply enjoy the beach day without it. Everything you came for is still yours.

A Day With No Agenda. Just Island Time.

Five hours with nowhere else to be and nothing you have to do. Here’s how the day can unfold, entirely at your own pace.

Step 1 | 10:45AM
Check in at the Paradise Island Ferry Terminal Meet us at the East Dock, behind Margaritaville and directly across from Atlantis. Check in, find your seat and get ready for the short ride out to the island.
Step 2 | 11:00AM
Cruise across Nassau Harbour Leave Nassau behind as you cruise past turquoise water, passing ships and views of the Nassau and Paradise Island skyline on your way to your private island escape.
Step 3
Step ashore and pick your beach Two white-sand beaches, clear turquoise water and plenty of places to settle in. Find your spot, kick off your shoes and take that first swim.
Step 4
Grab a drink at the bar Take a look at the bar menu and order something cold: from tropical cocktails to refreshing soft drinks. Then take it back to the beach and enjoy it with your toes in the sand.
Step 5
Climb the lighthouse Make your way to the top of the island’s historic lighthouse for panoramic views across Nassau Harbour and the surrounding cays. It’s the photo everyone takes home.
Step 6
Spend the afternoon your way Take out a kayak or paddleboard on a first-come, first-served basis, float on a water mat, swim in the clear shallows or do absolutely nothing. With two beaches, complimentary chairs and shaded decks, there’s no schedule to follow.
Step 7 | 3:30PM
Cruise back to Nassau When island time comes to an end, settle in for the scenic ride back across the harbour — sun on your skin, salt in your hair and the lighthouse slowly disappearing behind you.
