    caferace No.

    Rent a mini-sub. That way you can recoup the cost of your trip on the way back with ... "contraband". :D

    Congrats guys on having the balls for a real adventure and actually doing it! I've been living off and on in the Bahamas for the last 4 years. I work on boats and have been to most of the islands in the Bahamas. First you should have semi flexible dates and alternate locations to pick from depending on wind direction and weather. Sometimes I run our jet skis from Nassau and in the wrong conditions I'm over it in about 10 minutes. Andros is awesome but LOTS of mosquitoes and doctor flies. The joulter Cays are unbealivible. Its lots of flats with skinny channels. Fresh creek has some hotels. The berries are cool also. I have the most fun on jet skies in shallow flat water which the berries has lots of. We do charters in the exumas every week and thats where its at. You can island hop the whole way down with something new everyday. In my opinion you are trying to cram to much in to little time. Most of the Bahamas is pretty similar as far as beaches, reefs, fishing and spearfishing. With the exception of way south or Rum and San Sal. I would spend less time getting pounded and find a cool area, relax and enjoy some cold kaliks! If you guys stop by Nassau the first rounds on me. Also if you plan on camping bring a mosquito net and light as big a fire as you can. :beer:

    I think we've pretty much decided to just go to Bimini and chill on the beaches there. I was all for a longer trip and going to other islands but I think I've been shot-down on that :crackup: Going to Grand Bahama last year was incredible but we hardly had any downtime. Looking forward to kicking back and relaxing this time.

    I'm a pilot, could fly it back far easier :D

    Looks like there are some great vacation rentals available. Thanks for the tip kangasj. :beer:
     
  5. if you're looking for vacation rentals use www.airbnb.com

    it's mostly privately owned home's that people rent out and their are reviews from people who've stayed there. it's got something like 190ish countries.

    Heard that before :D





    For those of you that want to go and don't own a ski: http://www.jetskirentalflorida.com

    Looks like the company we went through last year is still your best bet. They were very easy to work with, and now that there is a group of us going on owned skis I wouldn't have a problem telling them from the beginning what the plan is. Price looks to be about the same, $250/day with a 3 days for the price of 2 deal. I'm sure they would work a deal for 4 days. Seems they have some newer skis now as well. They'll also deliver anywhere in South Florida so if you're flying in or riding down with someone, no need to worry about picking them up. Would be worth a look if you don't own a ski.

    PWC's are technically boats. Just smaller ones.
