The sun glares off the harbor as a private yacht eases away from Nassau’s bustling marina, engines dropping to an easy hum. You feel the spray, the island’s outline resolving into pale sand and low scrub; the reef ahead bristles like teeth daring you to test the water. On a half-day charter to Rose Island you trade city port for shallow turquoise—snorkel gear off the stern, beach towels on deck, an open cooler and music setting the pace.
