Aquacat Bahamas internet access

I haven't seen any listed about internet access on Aquacat boats. My wife is going to collage and it would make things a lot easier.

Because there isn't any. They do have a satellite phone - outbound calls are $5.00 per minute. I've never heard of a liveaboard with it - maybe the Kona Agressor as it's often called the cellphone liveaboard...lol. Check with Aquacat about WiFi in port, they dock at Hurricane Hole Marina on Paradise Island Friday afternoon on your return.

You could maybe tether a smartphone in port - at least this should be possible in Nassau, maybe when you're close to Great Exuma also? AT&T now allows tethering the iPhone 4 for $20/mo. extra.

There's WiFi available at some of the Atlantis public areas when you're on Paradise Island. (lounges/restaurants) $15/24 hrs.

Thank you for the info wife will have to work hard to get ahead before the trip.

I've been on one boat with free WiFi internet - the MV Tala in the Red Sea. The Tala is a superb boat, with a superb crew, and one that is very high on my list to return to.

However, my previous view was I was on a dive boat to get away from the world; and with the way some folks buried their heads into their laptops in between dives, now I'm sure of it.


All the best, James

When they go to the Land & Sea Park, you can purchase internet access.
