A week of living aboard a boat in the waters of the Bahamas, home to wild dolphins in the Caribbean.

When the sea conditions are good, we cruise through areas where not a single piece of land can be seen, surrounded 360 degrees by nothing but the endless blue of ocean and sky.

​

Because these are wild dolphins roaming the vast open sea, no one can say whether or not we will encounter them. There are days when not a single dorsal fin is seen, and other times dolphins appear at dawn, during meals, or even after sunset when darkness has already fallen.

​

There is no TV, no radio, and no cell phone signal. For one week, we are far removed from everyday life, immersed only in a world of blue.

​

When the wind and waves pick up, we go ashore to swim on white sandy beaches or drop by local shops and bars.

​

From 1996 to 2006, I chartered boats that could carry around 20 to 30 people and organized the “Dolphin Cruise in the Bahamas” almost every summer.
