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.

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.

About Your Guide

John

Independent Guide
Captain John has worked as a dive master and boat captain at the Cape Eleuthera Marina hosting guests from Milan to Hollywood. Building his knowledge of the waters across the archipelago, he served as a dive master at Andros Beach Inn and operated Sea and Ski Ocean Sports in Paradise Island. Before starting Big Mac Fishing & Boat Tours, John was a captain for a 53’ Hatteras for many years and won several tournaments with its owners. With 40 years of experience, he knows the waters, fish and reefs of The Bahamas like the back of his hand.

A “Mac of All Trades,” he has also run construction companies in Harbour Island and Eleuthera, led a Junkanoo group to several major titles and serves as the Chief Councilor for South Eleuthera in his spare time. As a property manager he has earned over 100 five-star reviews on Airbnb and VRBO. An aficionado of the local Rake ‘n’ Scrape music, John plays the saw and the Goombay Drum. He loves sharing his island, its culture and its sights with visitors. Captain John is a great cook. If you can catch it, he can tell you how to cook it, local style!

John is a captain with an A license in The Bahamas, as well as STCW and CPR certifications. He is a PADI Dive Master.
