British Virgin Islands Aggressor relocating to the Bahamas as the Bahamas Aggressor II

[mcohen1021]

I did write a review on my thoughts on the BVI aggressor from January of last year...

It was a fantastic trip, the diving went from easy to more advanced, and the crew worked their asses off to make everybody happy

Everything that's been said above is true. all of the diving is done off tenders and it is inefficient. you're limited to 50 minutes due to the fact that most people are not physically fit

I think the reason that the tenders are used is because the moorings can't handle a boat the size of the aggressor

I think it sucks that they're moving the boat because I would have probably done the trip again regardless of the 50 minutes, I enjoyed the diving there

Did I see correctly that this new Bahamas aggressor will do Tiger Beach only?

If they do the Nassau, Eluthera, Exumas route it will be even more crowded with all the All Star boats and other smaller charters. I enjoyed my time on the Aqua Cat, but the diving was not great. The boat, crew, food and other activities made up for it, and I would do that again if the right situation presented itself.

The Bahamas Aggressor II will start operation in May, running an itinerary to Exuma Cays and Southwest Eleuthera. In April 2026, it will add a second itinerary to West End of Grand Bahama and Tiger Beach.

No. It will do both. I think the tigers are seasonal

That is a lot of competition for sites in the Exumas and surrounding area. I know All Star boats all shuffle between sites on a planned basis, but when the wind was ripping for part of our trip, we were all lined up in the shelter of Eleuthera.

Maybe some good discounts coming for those who want an easy, fun trip close to home!

I noticed that the Aquacat and the Blackbeard boats appear to be essentially fully booked for the next couple months. The Bahamas Aggressor generally has some spots available. The Dolphin Dream, a different kind of trip, also appears to be fully booked for the next couple months.

@BoltSnap tiger beach and bimini are good for shots of tigers and hammerheads. better vis than maldives, lots of bottom time since its shallow. thats kinda it though, the rest is pretty mid as most of the caribbean is.
