Nassau in The Bahamas came in at the top.
A fresh study checked out the best boating spots in the Caribbean and crowned Nassau in The Bahamas as the number one destination. Other high-ranking locations include places in Puerto Rico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic.
Let’s be real—few places on earth can compete with the Caribbean’s breathtaking ocean views. The water here is just something else. It’s that unreal shade of blue, so clear you can see straight down to the white sandy bottom, with only vibrant fish and coral breaking the view. Sure, you can take a dip right off the shore of any of the amazing hotels dotting the coastline, but the best way to truly soak it all in? A boat trip.
To help you pick the perfect spot to set sail, Getmyboat—the world’s biggest boat rental platform—dug into its top Caribbean boating destinations. They ranked the region’s hotspots based on booking demand, completed rentals, and other factors like the most popular boat types, available rentals, and insider tips on local boating culture.
After crunching the numbers, Nassau, the Bahamian capital, came out on top.
The report highlights Nassau’s turquoise waters and its closeness to the famous Exuma Cays, calling it the Caribbean’s busiest boat rental hub. Powerboats are the go-to choice here, with must-do trips like visiting Pig Beach, snorkeling at Thunderball Grotto, and checking out private islands.
Fishing charters are also a big hit, whether for half-day or full-day trips. Thanks to the warm weather and rich marine life, it’s a prime pick for winter getaways and Spring Break vacations, drawing families and friend groups of all ages.
Right behind Nassau is Fajardo in Puerto Rico, famous for its glowing bioluminescent bays and the nearby Cordillera Nature Reserve. Here, yachts are the top pick.
Trips to Icacos Island and Vieques promise epic snorkeling, diving, and the one-of-a-kind chance to see a bioluminescent bay. Timing matters—visit at the right season, and you might witness the water lighting up with glow-in-the-dark plankton during a nighttime boat tour.
Cartagena, Colombia, takes third place, followed by Bavaro and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, rounding out the top five.
