Private Luxury Catamaran Charter in Nassau

The best part of this Nassau charter is the freedom to make the day your own. You can spend the five hours chasing activities such as snorkeling, tubing, fishing, jet skiing, and swimming pigs, or simply stretch out on the Leopard catamaran while the boat moves across clear Bahamian water. The plan is private, so your group sets the tone.

I like the custom pricing, since you can choose a bare-bones outing instead of paying for a full package you do not need. I also like the combination of Rose Island and Green Cay, which gives you two different kinds of island time: soft beaches and quiet water.

The main consideration is the extra cost. Alcohol, food, snacks, and the swimming pigs are not included, and the pig visit costs $45 per person. At $4,950 for up to 15 people, this makes the most sense for a larger group that will use the boat for several hours, not for a couple seeking a low-cost beach trip.

Key points to know before booking

• Private Leopard catamaran: Your group alone uses the boat, with room for up to 15 people.
• Five hours on the water: The schedule can include Rose Island, Green Cay, the pigs, and water activities, but you should confirm your preferred mix when booking.
• Flexible food plans: Water and soda are included, while food, snacks, and alcohol cost extra.
• Swimming pigs cost $45: This optional activity is separate from the charter price and does not come with admission included.
• Crew support: A licensed guide, Captain, and Chef are part of the experience, with Ignacio named among the crew.
• Weather matters: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

A private boat day built around your group

Clicquot is a good fit if you want more control than a standard Nassau cruise provides. You are not locked into a fixed public-group schedule, and the operator offers several service levels, from a simple boat outing to a fuller package with meals and drinks.

That flexibility matters because groups rarely want the same day. One person may want to snorkel, another may want to fish, and someone else may prefer a quiet ride with a cold soda and a view. Here, you can ask for a mix of activities instead of choosing one narrow tour.

The boat is a Leopard catamaran, a spacious sailing yacht designed for comfort on Caribbean water. The information provided does not give an exact cabin layout, seating plan, or list of onboard facilities, so I would ask those questions if they matter to your group. The practical point is that this is a private yacht charter, not a basic speedboat transfer.

The crew includes a licensed guide, Captain, and Chef. Ignacio is one of the crew members associated with the outing, and the service is presented as personal and adaptable. You can discuss your priorities before setting off, particularly if your group wants lunch, a specific activity, or more time at one island than another.

What five hours can realistically include

Five hours sounds generous, but time on the water passes quickly. The boat must reach each stop, and a full plan involving the pigs, Green Cay, Rose Island, and water sports could feel busy. You should choose your top priorities before departure.

The stated schedule gives about one hour at Crystal Beach for the swimming pigs, two hours at Green Cay, and two hours at Rose Island. Those times add up to five hours before allowing for any travel between locations, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise that every stop will be visited in full.

The charter is fully customizable, which helps. If your group cares most about the pigs, ask for that first. If you want a relaxed beach day, spending more time around Rose Island may be better. If water activities are the main goal, confirm how snorkeling, tubing, jet skiing, or fishing fit into the route.

This is also why a private charter can offer better value than a package with many included features you will not use. You pay for the boat and arrange the extras that suit your group, rather than accepting a single all-inclusive formula.

Crystal Beach and the optional swimming pigs

The swimming pigs at Crystal Beach are the most distinctive stop. You travel from Nassau toward Atholl Island, then spend about an hour at the beach area connected with the pigs. The attraction is easy to understand: you get a boat ride, a beach setting, and a chance to see the famous pigs in the water.

The pig visit is optional and costs $45 per person. Admission is not included, so factor that into the final price before you decide. For a group of 15, that extra charge could add $675 if everyone joins.

I would treat this stop as a special-interest choice, not an automatic highlight for every person. Children and animal fans may find it memorable, while adults who mainly want quiet water and beach time may prefer to use the hour elsewhere. Ask how the pigs fit into your custom route, since the charter is designed to adjust the plan.

The stop also has a practical limit: one hour is not much time if your group needs to get organized, enter the water, take photos, and return to the boat. Keep your expectations simple. This is a short activity within a larger boat day, not a full island visit.

Green Cay for a quieter stretch of water

Green Cay receives about two hours in the suggested plan. The ride there is part of the appeal, with open views across clear blue water and changing views of the islands around Nassau.

Green Cay is offered as an alternative attraction for the five-hour outing. That wording matters because your final route may depend on the day’s plan and the choices you make with the crew. If your group wants a calmer stop away from the main Nassau scene, this is likely the place to give the day more breathing room.

The information does not specify exact facilities, beach services, water depth, or a detailed activity setup at Green Cay. You should not assume there are restaurants, changing rooms, chairs, or equipment waiting onshore. Ask what is planned for your visit and what you need to bring.

Two hours is enough time to avoid feeling rushed, especially if your group wants to swim or relax rather than race between several attractions. It also gives the Captain and crew more room to shape the outing around weather and conditions.

Rose Island’s beaches and open-water views

Rose Island is the other major island stop, with about two hours in the suggested itinerary. It is known for white sand and clear turquoise water, making it the natural choice for people who want a classic Bahamian beach break.

I like Rose Island as the anchor for this charter because it balances the more structured pig visit. You can use the time for swimming, shoreline time, or simply sitting back after the boat ride. The setting offers the kind of clean, open scenery that makes a private catamaran worthwhile.

Again, details about beach facilities are not provided. Plan for a natural beach stop rather than a fully serviced resort area. Bring any personal items you need, and ask the crew what they provide for beach time.

If your group has mixed interests, Rose Island may be the easiest stop for everyone to enjoy. People who want activity can swim, while those who want a slower afternoon can stay near the beach or return to the catamaran. That shared flexibility is one of the strongest reasons to choose a private boat.

Snorkeling, tubing, fishing, and jet skiing

The charter can be arranged around several activities, including snorkeling, tubing, jet skiing, and fishing. These options are important because they turn the boat from a simple sightseeing platform into a base for an active day.

The available information does not say which equipment is included, how long each activity lasts, or what the additional charges might be. Ask for a clear price and schedule before committing. The same applies to jet skiing, which may involve separate rules, equipment, or fees.

Snorkeling makes sense for a group that wants to see the water rather than only look at it from the deck. Tubing suits people who want a more playful activity. Fishing is better for a group willing to give that pursuit enough time, since it may not fit easily alongside every island stop.

You do not need to choose every option. In fact, trying to fit everything into five hours could leave you spending more time changing activities than enjoying them. Pick one or two priorities, then leave room for the ride and beach time.

Food, drinks, and the real price of the charter

The listed price is $4,950 per group of up to 15 people. Divided evenly among 15 people, that works out to $330 per person before food, alcohol, the pigs, or other add-ons. For a smaller group, the per-person cost rises quickly.

For a full group that wants a private yacht, this can be reasonable. You are buying exclusive use of the boat rather than individual seats on a shared cruise, and the private format lets you shape the day around your own interests. For four or five people, the same price is much harder to justify unless privacy and luxury are the main goal.

Bottled water and soda are included. Alcoholic drinks are not included, and all food and snacks cost extra. The Chef can be part of a more complete service plan, but the exact menu and meal price are not stated, so request those details before booking.

The bare-bones option is useful for people who want to bring their own preferences within the operator’s rules or who would rather spend money on activities. The all-inclusive option may be easier for a celebration or a group that wants fewer decisions during the day. There are also choices between those two ends.

A five-hour charter can become expensive if you add lunch, drinks, the pig visit, and several water activities. Ask for the total price in writing. That single step will make it easier to compare Clicquot with other private boats in Nassau.

Meeting point and timing at Paradise Island

The meeting point is Paradise Harbour Club and Marina on Paradise Island Drive. From Paradise Island, use the Paradise Island Bridge and take the southbound road to the marina.

The activity ends back at the same meeting point, which keeps the day simple if you have arranged your own transport. The listed operating hours are 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday, for the stated operating period. Your actual start time should be confirmed when you book.

A mobile ticket is provided, and confirmation is received at booking. I would arrive with your group ready to discuss the plan, especially if you have selected the pigs, food, or water activities.

The charter is private, so only your group participates. Service animals are allowed, and the information says most people can participate. It does not provide specific details about wheelchair access, boarding assistance, or mobility equipment, so ask the operator directly if anyone in your group has access needs.

Weather, cancellation, and planning advice

This is a water activity, so weather can affect the day. If poor weather causes a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. That is useful protection for a high-priced booking.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes inside 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. The cut-off uses local Nassau time.

I would avoid scheduling this charter so close to your flight home that a weather change would cause a major problem. The safest plan is to place it early enough in your trip to allow another date if conditions turn poor.

Pack for a day on the water, but keep the load light. You will want swimwear, sun protection, and any personal items you need for a beach stop. The supplied details do not list towels, meals, alcohol, snorkeling equipment, or other personal gear as included, so confirm each item rather than assuming it comes with the boat.

Who will get the most from Clicquot?

This charter suits families, wedding groups, birthday parties, and friends sharing a special day in Nassau. It is especially appealing if your group has different interests but still wants to stay together.

You will get the most value with close to 15 people, since the fixed group price spreads across more people. The trip also works well for anyone who values privacy, flexible timing, and a boat that can serve as both transportation and a place to relax.

It is less suitable if you want a simple low-cost swim, a guaranteed all-inclusive meal, or a tightly fixed sightseeing schedule. You may prefer a shared cruise if your group is small and price is the main concern.

The limited public feedback is highly favorable, with particular praise for the crew, the blue water, and the relaxed mood onboard. One outing added lunch and the swimming pigs, and the crew response specifically mentioned Ignacio and the fun atmosphere with Francesca’s group. That gives you a useful clue: the experience works best when the group communicates clearly and allows the crew to shape a pleasant day around the conditions.

Should you book this Nassau catamaran?

Book it if you have a large group, want a private boat, and care more about control than a fixed package. Rose Island, Green Cay, and the optional pig stop give you a good range of choices, while the bare-bones and all-inclusive formats let you manage the budget.

Before paying, confirm the exact route, meal plan, equipment charges, alcohol policy, and whether the $45 pig admission applies to each person who joins. If your group has fewer than six people, compare the per-person cost carefully.

For the right group, Clicquot offers a polished five-hour boat day with room for both action and quiet. Its value comes from privacy and choice, not from having every extra included.
