Back for its 7th year, this Christmas boat parade of lights through historical Nassau Harbour will again cast off on December 10th at 6:30pm. Starting in Arawak Bay the lighted flotilla will make its way to Montagu, giving a close-up view of the boats at Pier 14, where they turn in the channel.

Last year the “Huntress" won the private boat category, with their Storm Trooper entry. Winners in each category win a cash purse and prizes including travel vouchers, hotel, dinners and more.
