Kite Boat Cruises

Why Visit?

Discover a new kiteboarding spot every day with a luxurious kiteboarding experience. You can ride in paradise, on private kite spots and even on private islands.

Many sailors in the Caribbean consider the Bahamas the most beautiful place to sail. Hundreds of islands and sandbanks are surrounded by shallow turquoise waters, making The Bahamas one of the world's largest shallow areas. The Bahamas' turquoise water is easily distinguished from space; astronauts refer to it as the bluest water on earth. Having so much sandy shallow water makes this archipelago perfect for kitesurfing!

In The Bahamas, we have great conditions for kitesurfing. In the winter, we have consistent winds, north swells, and an endless selection of private cays and beaches that set the stage for our sport. The conditions are great for learning kiteboarding or for mastering your existing skills. The sheltered shallow cays provide an expanse of shallow warm blue water that suits every level of rider.

Anchored in paradise!

We organise kitesurfing and wing-foiling charters with our fleet of boats: Lagoon 450 (6 guests) and Ipanema 58 (8 guests) catamarans. We do private cruises (all the boat) for one week, and we can also extend and do 2-week cruises to explore more isolated islands.

Our charters start on Saturday at 5 pm and finish next Saturday at 9 am. For the 2022-23 season, we also offer the possibility to start or finish in Staniel Cay; heard of the Exuma Cays.

A trip with Kite Boat Cruises offers so many experiences and opportunities. It's a chance to experience kiteboarding in an entirely new setting or even the perfect way to experience it for the first time! Where else can you access private beaches and top-of-the-line gear, eat chef-prepared meals all week, and all from the privacy of your cabin on a luxury sailing boat? We want to invite our guests into our lives to share these unforgettable moments.

Happy crew!

Join us aboard our sailboats and with Kite Boat Cruises.

Wind and Weather

On average, the water temperature is around 22 - 27 degrees Celsius (71 - 80 Fahrenheit), and the wind usually blows from 14 to 20 knots; occasionally north wind can get up to 30 knots. Conditions are good for 9 - 12m kites and foiling (wing and kite).

While we can predict the prevailing wind patterns in the winter, the weather is not something we can control. A strong philosophy of Kite Boat Cruises is to adapt to the weather conditions and get the maximum fun out of whatever comes our way. We always plan the itinerary based on the forecast and the customer's desires.

Snorkelling

The winds are the strongest between Dec- April. For stronger winds, we recommend Dec-Feb, but for hot weather, we recommend March and April.

Getting Around

After your charter with us, feel free to explore Nassau, Staniel Cay, or other islands in The Bahamas. Cat Island has great kitesurfing, and Harbor Island has beautiful beaches and a picturesque village with some of the best restaurants. We are happy to help our guests with recommendations of places to go.

The best way to get around the islands is by bus, which are large vans with routes. You need to ask people about the routes and bus numbers because very little information is posted. But it is cheap and efficient. It's hard to call a taxi. The best way to find a taxi is at a hotel or ask a restaurant to call one for you. You can rent a car from the airport with the major rental offices or rent one downtown near the cruise ships.

Shoal Channel

It's a fixed rate of about $40 USD from the airport to Atlantis Hotel and Yacht Haven Marina, where we are situated.

Food and Drink

Our chef customises each week’s menu based on the guest's preferences. Using local and fresh ingredients and focusing on healthy but energizing food for our athletes, except for dessert. It’s the best restaurant in town.

Nightlife

There are not many bars on the islands that we visit, sometimes none since we are on deserted islands. But we do enjoy sunset cocktails on the boat and on the shore.

Unwinding

No Wind?

Even on a windless day, you're aboard The winds are the strongest between Dec- April. For stronger winds, we recommend Dec-Feb, but for hot weather, we recommend March and April.

Luxury catamaran in paradise, and we have endless ways to enjoy the surroundings and the boat! Enjoy sailing and island hopping, wining and dining with our chef, relaxing on the decks, snorkelling and paddleboarding on the reefs, or simply swimming on the most beautiful beaches in the world.
