Sample Intinerary Courtesy of Capt. Peter
Dery of M/Y Mirage
Arrive at the Nassau Airport on
Grand Bahama Island, greeted by members of the Mirage Crew
and proceed to Mirage, docked at Atlantis. Spend the day
and evening enjoying the many diversions of Atlantis, or
explore Nassau.
Day 2 -
Leaving Nassau behind, arrive at Normans Cay in time for
lunch. After lunch there will be plenty of time to snorkel
the plane wreck that is near by. Experience the wonderful
island atmosphere with dinner at Big Major1s Spot.
Day 3
- After a leisurely breakfast, arrive at Thunder Ball Grotto.
The snorkeling is so beautiful here, you will easily imagine
yourself in a giant aquarium. After your refreshing snorkel,
you will proceed on to Sandy Cay where lunch will be served
as a beach-side picnic. Mirage1s shallow draft allows the
Captain to pull her up very close to the beach. Chairs will
be placed in the shallow water, for the ultimate picnicS¼in
the water! Play off your lunch by participating in the underwater
treasure hunt that will be held, or perhaps now is the time
to check out the exercise equipment on Mirage. Finish the
day by heading to Georgetown, Great Exuma for dinner.
Day 4 - Start your day by
snorkeling the amazing Blue Hole, which your Captain will
introduce you to. Indulge in a leisurely lunch at Stocking
Island, with plenty of time to explore ashore, followed
by a quick dip to cool off. Mirage will then continue your
odessy by moving on to friendly Sampson Cay in time for
dinner.
Day 5
- This is a day you will remember forever. Wardrick Wells
will be your destination for this morning. This could well
be the inspiration for Jimmy Buffett1s song about 3One Particular
Harbor2. Established as a Land and Sea Park in the mid-1980s,
it is a paradise, whether hiking the trails or snorkeling
the limpid waters. After an active morning, you will leave
and arrive at Fowl Cay in time for lunch. Following lunch,
it1s time to hop into the water again, this time to snorkel
the Caves at Rocky Dondas. You will be in Allen1s Cay for
dinner, which will surely lively, as you discuss all you
saw and did that day.
Day 6
- Put your hiking shoes on and pretend you are Charles Darwin!
You get the opportunity to do just that when you go ashore
at Allen1s Cay to feed the iguanas. No, don1t save any of
the iguana snacks for lunch, as you will be going to Shroud
Cay for a beach picnic. Need for speed by now, and some
cool exploring? Now is your chance to jet ski through the
mangroves and rivers of Shroud Cay.
Day 7
- Return to Atlantis with plenty of time to enjoy the giant
aquarium, water slides, shops and casinos. After a full
week of relaxing, indulging in the incredible cuisine prepared
by Chef Leslie Bore, snorkeling and exploring, you can return
home refreshed and looking forward to your next charter
adventure onboard the M/Y Mirage!
