What To Expect
Nassau
These futuristic-built seacrafts are paired with an aquatic (yet dry) sight-seeing experience. With the newly engineered hyrofoils, the boats can coast higher on the sea. Guests get ‘BAHAMAS ON A BOAT: history, fascinating island facts, Bahamian beverage samplers, in perfect weather, a shipwreck site, and thanks to the in-nature oceanic observatory of the local marine wildlife, a close-up view of what astronauts have dubbed ‘ the most beautiful place from space.’ To top all of this, this is an eco-friendly tour. We are proud to announce that this product is eco-conscious. Our guests view the delicate marine life without caging, catching, or contact, which allows the biodiversity of the reef to thrive as it was naturally intended to. The hydrofoil design minimizes harmful emissions as fuel consumption is reduced against mileage. We welcome the opportunity to showcase, educate and advocate for coral reef conservation.

5.00Captain Turbo and Captain Jake take you on a unforgettable ride in the semi submersible. The tour takes you to a shipwreck area, where they swim with the pigs area, sea life viewing and island viewing from the water. Lots of information and lots of fun. Be prepared you will get wet but its worth it.
Fantastic excursion

5.00Didn’t see a whole lot of life through the bottom, but did see some shipwrecks, sea turtles, barracuda, swimming pigs and tons of fish while feeding off the side. Both the crew and passengers had a blast. Turbo and T were incredible! If you are into learning about the wildlife and area, enjoying a few drinks and flying above the waves in the rain while blaring Immigrant Song, then this is the excursion for you!
Oculus tour was great

5.00It was exactly what I was looking for. A wonderful boat tour of all the highlights. Great entertaining crew of captains Jake and turbo. And wow a hydrofoil ride hit my geekness. I have a mobility issue so was really happy to not snorkel or visit pigs (although we saw them).
Awesome experience

5.00Captain Turbo and 1st Mate Torey made our tour one of the best experiences on our 30th anniversary vacation. 1st mate Torey was knowledgeable, and provided details about many of the sites and things we experienced on the tour. Captain Turbo provided informative details of marine life with humor and Caribbean flair. Snorkeling the reef was the highlight of the trip, with a wide variety of marine life.
Great Experience!

5.00Even though the ocean was a little rough during our trip, Captain Turbo and First Mate TJ made sure to make our trip memorable. They were knowledgeable, entertaining, and fun. Because of the time we went, it was difficult to see through the glass bottom at times, but Turbo and TJ made sure we got an experience that was worth it. There was no snorkeling involved in our tour, but that could have been due to safety reasons. Overall, the experience was memorable, and is recommended.
Great small tour

4.00We had a great time on the tour with Captain Turbo and First Mate Torey (TJ). The tour was not what we were expecting. It was better. We saw a couple of shipwrecks and a reef, fed some fish and experienced the speed of the Oculus. Turbo and TJ offered a ton of information about the area that I thought was really interesting. The limited number of passengers allowed onboard was also a bonus.
Treated like family.

5.00To be blunt, going with tj and turbo was the absolute best decision ever, we were treated like family. They made our day, and were the top highlight of our whole trip. They are very knowledgeable and very well spoken on the history of their beautiful homeland, Turbo was the best captain and TJ the best first mate. You can truly tell how proud they are to be Bahamian, they enlightened us on the rich culture and history of their beautiful country. They helped everyone board the vessel and disembark when we were through. They had very good manners, these men were raised right. 10/10
