Seaplane Charters: The Bahamas
Take your family and friends on a day-tripping adventure by seaplane in the Exuma Cays with stops at Pig Beach and Staniel Cay. Fly to Big Major, the home of Pig Beach, for a visit with the local inhabitants, followed by a stop for lunch at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. If you’re really brave, you can swim with the sharks off the dock at Staniel after lunch. Other island stops are available.
Our Cessna Caravan Amphibians can accommodate up to 7 or 8 passengers (depending upon weight restrictions). Other day trip options are available. Please call Charlene for information and rates at 242-362-1224.
This is a popular stop on our day trip, but it is a great destination on its own. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club will serve you lunch and then afterwards you can go swim with the sharks. Yes, really! The staff will toss food to the local nurse sharks and you can snorkel around and watch them eat their lunch. The Club offers a full service Marina and rental cottages as well. You might want to take a boat ride over to Thunderball Grotto to snorkel inside. This is where James Bond (Sean Connery) was lifted by helicopter through the top of the grotto. You might want to watch the movie ahead of time.
Shoreline pilots can land in the water or at the airport here. You can snorkel off the floats if you have your gear.
