(departs from Nassau)
Aqua Cat Cruises offers a leisurely liveaboard scuba diving and snorkeling adventure in the Bahamas. Each week we cruise from Nassau, Bahamas to the Exuma Islands on the 102' catamaran Aqua Cat. This is the ultimate escape aboard your own private luxury yacht. No crowds, no set itineraries, nothing to do but sit back, relax and choose from an incredible variety of activities including scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, sunbathing, and island exploring. If you aren't a certified scuba diver, the Aqua Cat offers full certification scuba diving courses. Photographers will find underwater life in the Exumas some of the most prolific and varied of any coral reef in the world. Aqua Cat enables you to scuba dive remote walls, wrecks, and coral reefs with sharks.
Let Aqua Cat be your floating resort with captain and crew at your service. With bar, meals, scuba diving and water sports included in the price, Aqua Cat is comparably priced to a Caribbean luxury cruise or resort vacation, only the service is much more personal.

Incredible walls, reefs, high speed drifts and a shark dive make the variety of the diving unsuppressed. Stroll through lush tropical landscapes when you hike the many trails on the mostly uninhabited islands of the Exumas! These 365 cays just southeast of Nassau are only accessible by boat so board the Cat Ppalu to take you there. This is our 65' catamaran that operates from Nassau & explores the Exumas on weeklong cruises. The Cat Pplau sleeps up to 12 passengers in 6 private cabins. Each cabin has it's own sink & vanity. All meals and beverages are included. $15 port taxes are not included. A crew of 4 takes care of all of your needs! For uninhabited islands offer great opportunities for beachcombing, bonfire parties or just relaxing...Cat Pplau is typically a full boat charter but we have set aside these dates for individual bookings as we don't like to leave anyone out!
