Cruising the Exumas, Andros or the Nassau Area (Green Cay - Rose Island - Paradise Island). One-way and Exumas-only itineraries available with delivery fees.
Based in Coral Harbour, Nassau, Bahamas - only 10 minutes from the airport!
SOLSTICE has a private dock in the canals of Coral Harbour on the South side of New Providence. Coral Harbour is a quiet Bahamian neighborhood with an out-island feel, conveniently located 10 minutes by taxi from the Nassau International Airport. With a beach across the street and world-class dive and snorkel sites a mere 30 minutes away, this is a great location to start or end your charter. A charming local beach bar and restaurant is just down the road, and a lovely bay anchorage (subject to weather) is a mere hour away by sail. Dockage at Coral Harbour is included in your charter fee.

For downtown Nassau marinas, please inquire for an additional fee. SOLSTICE does not dock at Atlantis, but there are other marinas close to Atlantis. The taxi time from Coral Harbour to Atlantis is approximately 50 minutes.
