The building in the background looks a bit like Paradise Island resort in Nassau Bahamas ?

It sure is Nassau, Bahamas!

250Knots boat has been relocated, the first of hopefully many Parker Ribs in the Bahamas.

I'll let you know in a bit how it is running ribs here! We are a 100% Bahamian company and use a 100% Bahamian crew. Looking forward to growing the company and exploring the islands!

You can find info on our website www.harboursafaris.com (just a landing page right now, almost open) and we are on Facebook as well.

We may have held up a bit of traffic "island style" while delivering the boat!



Not sure on the Prince of Wales pub, maybe in Freeport? Cricket Club is now the closest thing we have here in Nassau.

Come on down and go for the ride of your life! Here's our plan for the weekend:

A loss for Poole but for sure a great gain for The Bahamas

Used to live at Hurricane Hole Marina Nassau and Dick's Point. Watched Atlantis being built so know the area well. As an expat Englishman, now living in Marsh Harbour Abaco and enjoying my Zodiac 650 Pro, Yamaha 150 combo, island hopping. Would love to see your RIB operation expanded to the Abacos; so much to see and do.

Hey Binty! Spent a lot of time in the Abacos, my brother lived in Hope Town, and have good friends there and in Marsh Harbour. We also organize the Great Abaco Family Fitness Weekend up in Treasure Cay each year. Just recommended someone on here to rent an Albury up that way!

Funny you say that about the RIB operation up there - it's on our business plan and hopefully will be happening soon! shhh....

Islandflyer, small world isn't it!
Good luck with the venture in Abaco. It should do well, but unfortunately there isn't the critical mass of tourists here that there is in Nassau. Meanwhile, 'mums the word!' Your operation looks pretty amazing. Oh, by the way, we have swimming pigs here, too, on No Name Cay. Bit of a haul from the hub of Abaco but you are used to long trips; all part of the adventure...Hope to see you soon.
