The Bahamas Tourist Office Vertical Markets Unit, with the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, would like to invite you to participate in the Annual Bahamas Summer Boating Flings.

The Flings are a series of piloted cruises to many of our beautiful islands. Spanning from June to August, seven weekends have been selected for this “Use Your Boat” promotion for pleasure boaters who would like to journey across the Gulf Stream. The crossing is quite simple and before you know it, you will be relaxing on one of our beautiful beaches and enjoying our Island Paradise.

A lead boat and captain will be provided for each Fling. Flings will commence on Wednesday evenings and end on Sunday evenings. The Fling headquarters will host a welcome “Goombay Kick-off” reception featuring a special Island drink and hors d’oeuvres. The following morning we will meet the lead boat at a designated departure point, then it’s Bahama bound!

An itinerary filled with exciting activities will be planned for you. However, there will be plenty of time to sun, snorkel, scuba dive, fish and stock up on Bahama bread. You may wish to plan your own Bahamian holiday after Sunday and return to Florida later, and that’s okay too!

There is a $75 non-refundable registration fee per boat per Fling. This entitles you to giveaways, cocktail parties and all planned activities. Please complete the registration form, make your check or money order payable to “ Bahamas Tourist Office” and forward to Bahamas Boating Fling, at the address listed below:
