This adventure had it all—open-water crossings, long hours at the helm, stunning anchorages, and even swimming with sharks in some of the clearest water on earth. From prepping lines outside Albany Marina in Nassau to handling rollers offshore, I’ll take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like running a 56’ center console as the chase boat for a superyacht.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes into being a chase boat captain, how these trips unfold, or what it’s like exploring the Exumas by boat, this video is for you.
📍 Route: West Palm Beach → Cross Gulf Stream → Nassau → Exumas → return to Florida
