About Your Trip

Voted one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by National Geographic, Lighthouse Beach on the southeastern tip of Eleuthera is a true Bahamian gem—and now, with nearby development underway and road access restricted, the best way to experience it is by water. Captain John’s private boat tour offers the most scenic, comfortable, and efficient route to this must-see destination.

Departing from South Eleuthera, you’ll cruise aboard a spacious 30’ Proline, powered by twin 250HP Yamaha outboards. With a wide beam for a stable ride and features like a cuddy cabin, head (toilet), freshwater shower, and shaded seating, the vessel is perfect for relaxing on the way to and from the beach.

As you make your way to Lighthouse Point, take in the breathtaking views of turquoise waters, pink-sand beaches, and the dramatic cliff formations that define this corner of the island. Along the way, Captain John will stop at nearby patch reefs, where you’ll have the chance to snorkel in clear, shallow waters teeming with colorful fish and coral.

Once at Lighthouse Beach, you’ll have time to explore, swim, or simply relax on the soft sands of this iconic location—still untouched in many places, but changing fast. It’s a trip that combines natural beauty, local insight, and peaceful time on the water.

Snorkel gear, water, and ice are provided. Just bring your towel, sun protection, snacks or lunch, and any drinks you’d like. Whether you’re a nature lover, a beachgoer, or just looking to experience a side of Eleuthera few others get to see, this Lighthouse Beach & Snorkel trip with Captain John is an unforgettable way to do it.
