Hobie Catamaran Self-Sail: Master the Turquoise Lagoon

Take the helm of your own Hobie Cat and carve across Ocean Cay's impossibly blue lagoon at your own pace. Pure freedom on Bahamian water — this is sailing at its most exhilarating and accessible.

What to expect

After a brief skills orientation from the beach team, you and your companion push off from the sandy shore and feel the twin hulls accelerate with the trade wind. The lagoon's aquamarine water is shallow enough to see every ripple of sand below. You tack between the mangrove edges and open flats, setting your own course. Staff are on the water throughout for safety and guidance. Plan for 1.5–2 glorious hours on the water.

Good to know

No sailing experience required — the briefing covers everything you need. Reef-safe sunscreen is mandatory. Book in pairs for best value. Availability is limited by the number of boats on the beach, so reserve this one immediately upon boarding.
