REVIEW · NASSAU
Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot and Water Sports Activity
Book on Viator →Operated by C.S.WATERSPORTS · Bookable on Viator
Clear kayaks turn Nassau into a photo set. This outing combines a clear kayak drone photoshoot with real time on the water, so you get both the cool pictures and the fun part. I like that it’s built for cruise-day timing since you’re on Junkanoo Beach, about a 15-minute walk from the port area.
I also really like the way the package handles logistics. You get free private pickup anywhere on the island, plus drop-off back to the port or your hotel, and free lockers so you’re not stuck figuring out where to put stuff. The one consideration: photo/video editing delivery can be an issue, and one unhappy review complained about delays and edits that did not match expectations—so I’d ask what turnaround looks like before you lock it in.

- Free private pickup and drop-off across the island, including cruise port

- Snorkeling mask + life jackets + inflatables included
- Locker space included so you can pack light

Nassau’s closest-beach setup: fast from the cruise port
Nassau can be chaotic on cruise days. The smart move here is location. Your pickup option starts anywhere on the island, and if you’re walking, you’re on the closest beach to the cruise port—listed as about a 15-minute walk to the Junkanoo Beach area. That matters because you’re not wasting time on long transfers or uncertain meeting points.
Even better, they offer free private pick up anywhere on the island and drop-off back to the port or your hotel. In practical terms, that means you can treat this as a real activity day instead of a stressful shuttle-and-hope plan. If you’re traveling with limited time, this kind of direct logistics is a big part of the value.

Price and what you really get for $325

At $325 per person, this isn’t the cheapest thing on the beach. But it’s not priced like a 30-minute novelty either. You’re paying for a bundle: clear kayak photoshoot with photography, plus water sports time with included gear, plus chair/umbrella, plus snorkeling equipment, plus lockers.
Here’s how I’d think about the value:
- You’re not just renting a kayak. You’re getting a photoshoot setup where the goal is camera-ready results.
- You get full day use of water sports equipment, so you can actually spend time out there (the listing estimates 1 to 8 hours, so it’s flexible).
- Pickup/drop-off is included, which can easily eat up value when you’re comparing to cheaper “just show up” tours.
The one clear missing element is meals. If you’re out for several hours, plan on eating before you go or bringing a snack if the operator allows it (meals are simply not included, so budget accordingly).
The clear kayak drone photoshoot: why it’s more than a selfie

The headline is the clear kayak drone photoshoot. You’ll be photographed from above and from the water level perspective that makes clear kayaks look so good in photos. The listing also spells out deliverables: 8 edited photos and 1 video.
A few details you’ll care about:
- You can request all raw images free of charge. That’s a good safety net if you want backups or different edit options later.
- The photoshoot is tied to the clear kayak experience, not a generic beach portrait session. So your time on the water is doing double duty.
- Photography is listed as included, which typically means you’re not doing a DIY job of getting good angles.
Now, what about posing pressure? The reviews emphasize how the staff helps you look comfortable and confident. One review specifically calls out that posing support matters, and another names Stacy as someone who made the experience feel smooth and fast. Another review names Camo and describes everything as quick and hassle free.
That’s important: if you’re the kind of person who freezes when a camera shows up, this is likely the best part of the day. The goal is to get you into positions that work for both drone and ground-level shots.
A smart consideration: confirm editing timing
There’s also the negative side of the photo package. One review claimed it took forever to receive edited pictures and that the edits did not match what was promised, plus they said they received no response after requesting a refund. The listing doesn’t provide a specific editing turnaround time in the details we have.
So here’s the practical move: when you book, ask what the photo and video turnaround looks like, and whether the delivered edits are typically what’s shown as standard deliverables (8 edited photos and 1 video). That simple question can save you stress later.
Water sports beyond the photos: how to use your full-day gear

After (or alongside) the photoshoot, you get full day use of water sports equipment. The included list covers a lot of practical gear, not just one toy:
- Kayaks
- Water tricycle
- Inflatables (including an inflatable inner tube)
- Chair and umbrella
- Snorkeling equipment (at least a snorkeling mask)
- Life jackets
- Water sports support items and photography
This is where the experience becomes worth it, especially if you’re with someone who doesn’t want to spend the whole day watching you get photos. You can split your time: do the photoshoot first so you’re not rushed, then switch to regular water time.
The listing also notes most travelers can participate. That’s a comfort factor for many people, but you still should listen to the staff about what feels safe and manageable in the water conditions that day. Life jackets are included, which is a big plus for peace of mind.

Snorkeling setup: what’s included and how to make it work

Snorkeling equipment is included, with a snorkeling mask called out. That means you’re not paying extra just to put your face in the water.
Two practical tips to get more out of it:
- Bring a waterproof phone case if you have one. The photoshoot handles the professional pictures, but snorkeling moments are still yours to capture.
- If you don’t snorkel often, expect it to take a minute to get comfortable with breathing and clearing your mask. The staff can help you get set up since snorkeling gear is part of the included package.
Since meals aren’t included, I’d treat snorkeling as a morning or mid-day activity slot, then plan a break on the chair/umbrella area.
Pickup, drop-off, and the “cruise day” advantage

A lot of Nassau beach activities are fine when you have time. They get shaky when your cruise clock starts ticking. This one has a built-in advantage: pickup options and a beach that’s close to the cruise port.
What I like about the way they handle it:
- Free pickup anywhere on the island reduces your dependence on taxis.
- Drop-off to the port or hotel means you don’t need to coordinate your own return transport.
- You can also walk to the beach if you want to avoid waiting, since it’s about 15 minutes from the port area.
If you’re trying to maximize a short stop in Nassau, this is the kind of structure you want: simple, direct, and not heavy on guesswork.
Who should book this experience

This is a great fit if you want three things at once:
- A standout photo/video souvenir (clear kayak + drone style)
- Real water time, not just a quick swim
- Convenience (pickup/drop-off, lockers, chair/umbrella)
It’s also a strong choice for couples and small groups where one person cares a lot about pictures and the other cares more about activities. With kayaking, a water tricycle, inflatables, and snorkel gear all included, everyone can spend their time the way they want.
If you hate waiting for complicated processes, the reviews you shared include descriptions of quick, hassle-free setup and staff support. Still, the photo-editing concern from one review is worth considering if you have a hard deadline for receiving deliverables.
What to bring (so the day feels easy)

The package handles a lot, but you’ll still want to show up prepared. Based on what’s not included and what’s common-sense for water time:
- Sunscreen and water-friendly clothing
- A towel (often helpful even when chairs are provided)
- Sunglasses with a strap, if you use them around water
- A waterproof phone case if you want to record your own moments
- Any preferred personal snorkeling items (only if you already have them—mask is included)
Also, keep in mind you can request raw images for free. If you’re invested in editing later, you might want to pay attention to how they deliver files and what format you’ll receive.
The staff vibe: Stacy and Camo get named
One of the best signs in your review info is how staff support comes through clearly. Names pop up: Stacy and Camo. One review emphasizes comfort and confidence, plus support with posing. Another says everything was quick and hassle free and points out the beach proximity to the cruise port.
That lines up with what you want for a photoshoot experience. You don’t just want someone holding equipment. You want guidance so you look good without wasting time. If posing is stressful for you, this kind of hands-on coaching is likely a major value add.
The one drawback to weigh: editing expectations
Here’s the honest part: your review set includes both praise and a strong complaint. The complaint says the person felt it was a scam, claimed the money’s worth wasn’t there due to slow edited delivery and edits that were not done properly, and said no refund response happened.
We can’t verify the cause with the information provided, and most of the reviews you shared sound positive. But the takeaway for you is simple and practical: ask what the editing timeline is, and confirm what gets delivered (8 edited photos and 1 video) so your expectations match what you’ll actually receive.
If you’re okay with a little uncertainty and you’re mostly booking for the fun and the core experience, you may still love it. If you have a tight deadline for receiving content, you’ll want to confirm timing early.
Should you book C.S.WATERSPORTS in Nassau?
If your dream Nassau day includes a clear kayak drone photoshoot plus enough included gear to actually enjoy the water, I’d say this is worth serious consideration—especially for cruise passengers who want minimal hassle. The included pickup/drop-off, lockers, chair/umbrella, and broad water sports lineup make it feel like a real outing, not just a rental.
Book it if:
- You care about getting polished vacation photos and video
- You want full-day water activities
- You value convenience from the cruise port area and free transport
Skip or confirm more closely if:
- You need edited photo/video delivery by a specific date
- You prefer very clear, written turnaround terms and want to avoid uncertainty
If you go in with your questions answered—especially about editing timing—you’re likely to walk away with both memories on the water and photos you’ll actually want to keep.
