You step off the 42-foot speedboat onto a sun-warmed spit of sand and the pigs come right at you—snouts curious, energy bright as the turquoise sea beside them. The harbor hum of Nassau fades to the rush of surf and the occasional squeal; for an hour you feed fruit skewers to the famously sociable pigs and can actually join them in the water as they paddle and nose through the shallows.
