Cat Ppalu | 埃克苏马群礁

关于游轮

Cat Ppalu 最初建于1985年，曾是一艘高速的竞速航行双体船，后来被彻底改装成轻便船宿潜水双体船，该游轮长19.8米，宽9.5米，每周从巴哈马首都拿骚出发提供前往埃克苏马陆海公园北部进行船宿之旅，该游轮是亲朋好友间度假出行的好选择。

该游轮船上的主沙龙室内配备有电视，录像机，立体声音响，和DVD播放器，此外船上还有大量的电影和游戏可供旅客在这里娱乐休闲时使用。同时沙龙室也是旅客进餐的地方，旅客们可以在此饮食、社交或者单纯地放松一下。

船上的厨师厨艺精湛，除提供每日三餐正餐美食外，小吃和新鲜的水果在船宿期间也是随时可取的。船宿期间大多数的餐食都是巴哈马本土菜肴和美式菜肴的组合。此外，船宿期间该游轮还为旅客全天候供应各种精选的免费饮料：从各类软饮，果汁到啤酒，葡萄酒和朗姆酒等等应有尽有。

Cat Ppalu 没有固定的船宿线路，可以根据旅客的计划来制定行程。除了水肺潜水项目，旅客还可以参加各项生态冒险项目，如：喂养鬣蜥、浮潜、尝试大海皮划艇、立式桨叶式冲浪(SUP)、帆板冲浪、远足自然徒步、学习帆船驾驶知识，及欣赏僻静处的美丽海滩。

Besides sailing, a side benefit for the adventure seeker is that Cat Ppalu provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy activities like fishing snorkeling, kayaking and SUPs (paddle boarding) as well as shore excursions. Explore local islands or relax and sunbathe on uninhabited islands. It is your vacation, so you can choose what you want to do.

The Exuma Cays offers many opportunities to go ashore and explore and enjoy the uninhabited beaches. For these occasions, we highly recommend proper footwear for these eco adventures. Flip flops are not always suitable. We suggest water shoes or TEVA type sandals. Sneakers are fine but they might get wet!

Bahamas Ground Transfers: The Cat Ppalu docks at the Nassau Harbour Club Marina on East Bay Street, right across from the Starbucks. The ride is approximately 30-40 minutes from the airport to the dock. It is not that far but slow down, Mon! You are on island time now. If you need ground transfers while in Nassau, we can assist. You can make the ground transfer arrangements online or call our office at least 7 days prior to your departure. For each pick-up, the cost is $18.00 per person one-way. If you prefer to take a taxi or miss the cut-off date, taxis are readily available at the airport.

Boarding & Disembark Time: You may board after 12:00pm on Saturday. We plan to shove off by 3:00pm at the latest to make the trip from Nassau to the Exumas during daylight hours. We can, of course, stay longer to accommodate later arrivals as this is a charter only vessel. Keep in mind that if it gets too late, then the captain may decide to leave early Sunday morning instead of Saturday afternoon for safety reasons.

The Cat Ppalu returns to Nassau Thursday afternoon, usually by 5:00pm at the latest. We still serve dinner and provide lodging at the dock. This is your night in port so that you can experience some of the local culture. All passengers must disembark Friday by 9:00am.

Diving: In general all the divings are not guided dives in the Exuma Itinerary. All divings are self-guided. Most buddy teams choose to dive on their own. The instructors/divemasters on board will give you a good in-depth briefing before each dive describing the topography, conditions, the current (if any), depth and it will include a visual aid. If you would like navigational assistance, please advise the instructor that you would like to follow him/her prior to the dive. We have 63 CF (9L) and 80 CF (12L) tanks for guests to use. We do not have 100 CF (15L) tanks on board as they will not fit in the dive bench. Caribbean reef sharks and nurse sharks frequent many of our sites. We normally offer 1 shark feed on each trip. This is the perfect time to see sharks up close and in action!

Side Mount & Rebreather: Single side mount diving is possible as each guest is assigned a dive position that holds one tank. Be sure to choose an end unit position to better accommodate your gear.

We do not have the ability to accommodate rebreathers.
