Pink Bikinis Turquiose Water! Sailing to the Bahamas

We sailed from Miami across the Gulfstream to Bimini in the Bahamas in our new Neel 43 Trimaran to get a little beach time. Then we motored across the Grand Bahama Bank in very calm conditions, the water was so pretty and blue. It was 80 miles over the Bullocks Harbour in the Berry Islands. We were able to get a little sailing in when the wind picked up.

Steph, I've been watching Sailing Doodles for many years. Do you know you have changed Bobby's life. He is much more playful and relaxed because of you. Great couple!!

[@raysimpson6075]

She compliments his life of adventure. She is on her own adventure

[@tommytownsend6716]

Totally agree!!

[@jefftappe2638]

No doubt. Not the same when she's not there

[@steveslaton82]

We've cruised several times, Bobby. Best bang for your buck, IMO.

[@NAVY1968]

Been on one cruise. Never, never, never again

[@fastfreddy]

Very nice video . The PDA is a nice touch ; most of the time Bobby seems to be “ too busy” to hug Steph, smooch etc. Glad she’s back - hopefully full time !!!!! Keep it up you two - Steph was really participating as 1st mate hoisting sails, steering etc . Good times & relaxed 👍👍👍👍👍

[@trailrunner6435]

Agree a 100 %

[@Big_Jimmyqqq]

Steph rocks in that pink suit.

[@crphilipp]

Nice dinghy storage on stern.

[@FreedomRock44]

I love when Steph is naturally happy and jacked up early in the morning!!!! Also like when the hair is up and bunned just relaxing rocking bandana.......endearing!!!!!

[@MrCoyote928]

My wife has been in the Bahamas since Monday on the Carnival Sunshine . We've been cruising with them for years. Food and fun are free all day in different restaurants & on many decks. Last year we went to the Dominican Republic and in September we're going to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico..I can't wait to see Aruba and Bonaire next year...I think you and Steph would have a fantastic time. There's many bars all over the ship and two by the pool . 👍

[@dcidci1012]

It is so very good to see and hear Steph on the boat , Your new deck hand is camera shy & inverted unlike your previous hands, lol, Bobby yes take Steph on a big cruise. Bob as always thank you for a superb video.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Inverted? Nah, she's standing on her feet like everyone else.

[@cozysouth]

Great to have Steph back. Pink is definitely her color. Don’t let this one get away Bobby. She’s a lifetime keeper!

[@angelomazzone7939]

Wow a tri looks great and great videos. Nice to see you back in the Bahamas.

[@michaelsickels7600]

What a great and relaxing video. You guys are living my dream. Way to go! Nice to see the playfulness of Steph with you Bobby. Seems like the new crew member is a little shy or at least she avoids the camera a lot? Her accent is cute.

[@sailingschooners8668]

Why do you dream, just go and do it like I do..

[@aeon4451]

Congratulations to you because you have two pink angels this week ❤️🌹❤️

[@skyepilotte11]

Steph is a terrific 1st mate...The Bahamas have beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters...Great peaceful sail.

[@StephenOshea]

this is a lovely video much appreciated

[@catifortiz2337]

Carnival is party, Royal Caribbean party and relaxing.

[@silverlicious2086]

Hi Bobby. The passage over the shallows looked very peaceful. It's amazing to think that 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water. So much we have never seen on land.. let alone the vastness of the oceans. Thank you for letting us see some of it with you.

[@ChristopherStein-m8x]

That is the coolest boat you've had. Yet it changed my whole attitude about sailing.

[@OLMMark]

Great episode. And yes, if there was a sailing doodles cruise, I’d be there!

[@jorgegregoratti]

Cutest episode so far..love the PDA!!!.....great work with the 360º camera!!!...those waters are stunningly beautiful!!!...awesome work guys, congrats!!...I definitely want to see you two on a cruise, would be veeery funny...stay safe love y'all!!!

[@arottie4097]

PDA?

[@alanjenkins7346]

Beautiful boat. I took a Hawaiian cruise back in '85' for a week on the S.S. Independence. Was the last cruise for that ship. Went sight seeing thru the day. Dinner at night. Sail all night to next port in morning. Had a blast

[@3cap97]

High quality cinematography.....boatspeed of 4 in a 6 kt breeze, very impressive!

[@bighand2829]

Thanks!

[@Sailingdoodles]

thanks for the super!

[@mikepope3784]

Bobby, my wife and I love big ship cruising. We love the water, but also love the fancy restaurants, live music, casino, that cruise life provides. You should give it a try.

[@MrDannyr2000]

you are a real team, love the interaction between you both, you can feel the friendship and respect you both have for each other. ♥︎

[@kilroy166]

Cruises are awesome just go relax let go and have fun!!!

[@JustinBellingerTV]

Steph is so lovely. 🙂 You're lucky to have found each other. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@joesmithrocksdetroit]

Nice video, Bobby. Loved the music in this one!

[@JoannaMorehouse-wq2vk]

Hi Bobby! We have been watching you for the last 2 years. We really enjoy your adventures and long to live the life you are living. Safe travels and keep the videos coming.

[@petermacklin7870]

Love cruising on a big ship! Carnival is our favorite with the most value for money. Such a beautiful place to sail around.

[@davidfase7095]

Beautiful Tri. Neel looks like the real deal. I really like how you Bobby and Steph have meld together and she is going to be an accomplished sailor before you know it. Steph is quite good now. We love the carib and forget how beautiful the Bahamas are and how close. We have cruised several times and you should try it but I think you two may not like it as well as sailing. Great video.

[@junoboom]

I worked as a photographer on board a ship for 6 months. Met my wife aboard ship. Loved it alot.

[@wtgphoto]

We love cruises, have been on 9 or so. Would like to try smaller sailboats though, maybe one day.

[@BohemianBeatster]

Bobby you make groovy travel sailing video, combined with a day in the life of a boating family. Well done. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@roydenvickers]

It is a sweet gig taking a brand new neel

[@ricklucus8793]

Yea, Steph is back….awesome

[@SailingWithVampires]

I may just take one of those Neel boats out. Tri-marans are so cool!

[@tomwilliams8675]

We're on a Norwegian cruise right now! We love cruising. I know Stephanie would love it but Bobby you'd have to relax the whole time.

[@jamesgeiger7452]

thank you steph, bobby your a lucky guy.

[@jonthornburg8193]

Evenings star gazing with zero light pollution has to be AMAZING!!

[@fish1860]

We anchor every time we cross the banks, love the solitude!!

[@elmenomaronido6653]

34 cruises so far for me , love it ! the best thing is that you don’t have to do anything just enjoy and have fun , been on Carnival ,Royal Caribbean , NCL , MSC , Costa , Princess … love them all 🛳

[@arottie4097]

W0W! If you were to pick a favorite?

[@jjmarz1001]

Bobby. You should go on a cruise and join every competition with Steph. It would be a laugh and make for great channel content. I also think you would really enjoy it! We have been on several. Caribbean, Rounding South America, European, Pacific coast. It's my wife's favorite getaway.

[@LarryKindret]

Lots of cruises in the Caribbean and really loved it.

[@Milliesdaddy12]

We love cruising but then again, we never get to do what you do! Doing what you do would probably be more fun. We may have been in Bimini when you were!

[@dancharles8950]

I have been on 7 cruises over the years, most of them were great, it helps when you cruise with other couples, food is fantastic, great entertainment and you get a brief glimpse of the ports.

[@bobbie7355]

Spectacular drone footage as always. Steph is simply gorgeous 🩷 Bobby @16:56 I don't like dark rum". But you are literally smoking a branch 😂 Hugs from Texas sweeties 😎

[@dennisd6527]

Great video and footage. drone skills are second to none. About cruises. My wife and I have been on a lot of them. We mostly use Carnival now. We like the food and restaurant choices. We love it. Once you are embarked, I dont have to worry about anything. No worries. With the drink pkgs., you can drink to your hearts content.

[@SuperGr]

Cruises? Yes!! But, YOU have to be the kind of person that can find fun in nearly everything they offer - well worth it!

[@bobcathey8903]

Yes, I've been on 12 cruises. Great experiences. For me, as an older adult, I have been on medium-sized ships like Holland America and Azamara. More laid back and relaxing than the large cruise ships. They fit into smaller ports which can be less commercial. Being an owner of a small express cruiser, most all of the planning and work is handled by the cruise ship staff which is a nice change for an adventurous small cruiser vacation! Great videos from Sailing Doodles!

[@GhostlyCommando]

Did a Carnival cruise out of New York. 8 days. 1 day stop in Florida. Options for day trips were Cape Canaveral or theme park. 4 or 5 days in the Bahamas. All different excursions. Then straight shot back to New York. Went with the family. Ship had a night club, bars all over, nice dining, excellent service. We all had a blast!

[@sailingvesseloutlawking5843]

We did several cruises after my deployments (great welcome home party week!) pre covid. We looked at cruises since and at least last time we saw they had all kinds of restrictions. We haven't looked since. But will be making our own cruise after I get a little more time at the helm on my new ketch. Worth the money for sure though. Carnival was great, a bit over crowded though for my personal taste. But the night life, bars, food and East Caribbean ports were epic. Formal night was great too! (Fun wearing dress blues ... wink!) Keep it up Bobby and glad to see Steph turning into a really great travel, business and companion partner. Steph, if ya'll do a cruise, go big on your formal night attire, you won't be disappointed. Neither will the man. Drinks up! Rah!

[@jaimefernandez5874]

I love cruising but I would love to try what y'all do all the time! I just love the being on the water.

[@danielwaters2132]

I never miss a video always great fun to watch. Bobbie, you seem to have found your soul mate in Steph, she brings to best out of you and you her. The Neel 43 fits you guys like a glove.

[@CruisingAria]

I am soo ready for the Bahamas 🧜‍♀️

[@gracerev1]

Love it when it’s all boating. Beautiful video.

[@toddfulks1208]

I love a good dark and stormy, but only 1 or 2. That dark rum can hit hard. 🤪

[@davidcorbett62]

Bahamas are such a fabulous place to sail and enjoy though pricey. The yacht looks very futuristic and comfortable. Steff is not a morning girlie lol. On the subject of cruises I have been on 7. Really enjoyed them but it does depend on who your with and which cruise line. All ages now cruise so the era of pensioners only is long gone and trust me there are plenty to do onboard so think Bobby and Steff should go on one and record the voyage for their and our enjoyment

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video,awesome boat and what a beautiful place--even saw a submarine 🙂..thanks Bobby ,Steph and crew --stay safe

[@ldixon8588]

Oh, by the way, watching your Utube videos inspired me to help my daughter get her first boat. We plan on launching it the first part of May on the Chesapeake.

[@billterlesky3909]

Take the cruise! Great food great staff. Great time. Didn't think I would like it either till I tried a 3 day cruise loved it been on 3 additional cruises.

[@mattbarber7645]

i don't think it would be that much fun going on vacation with that many people. i'm not really a people person. you guy's have it made what a wonder lifestyle! thank you for sharing.

[@hpyflyboy]

Cruised with NCL Feb of 2020. First time on a cruise ship. LOVED it Bobby. Cruising again on NCL in December of 2023. It definitely depends on the ship. You have to ask your self how you like to vacation and choose a ship based on that. I like to do what ever when ever when on vaca. I do definitely want to go on a Cat. one day though. Yeah I know flotila....

[@klouism1]

Thanks for the video. The drone shots for really nice especially the one with the boat headed into the sunrise.

[@bpfsu]

I was on the cruise ship. We got on it on March 17, did a day at sea and arrived at Bimini first thing Sunday morning. 9:18

[@matthewbeach6770]

About taking a cruise. I say go for it. Been on two as a late teenager and had a blast

[@Wiggiwan]

Your channel just caught my eye, so checking it out. I love cruising on smaller ships. I've been on big ships, but too many people everywhere.

[@DivineSainte]

Beautiful and Lovely...as usual. Thanks ❤

[@125blackjack]

I have been on a lot of cruises. Going on one in May and again in Jan of 24. Love cruising. You should all try it.

[@robkirkland7982]

The big cruise ships are fun, as long as you go on a nice ship. I’d be down for a Sailing Doodles meet up cruise.

[@trailrunner6435]

Yes you would really love a river cruise. Love your episodes. I don’t know how to sail but watching and listening to you, sure do learn a lot.

[@bartdevries9613]

Sailing Doodles should sponsor a cruise. See how many of your viewers you can get on the same ship. That would sure be an interesting experience!

[@Sysgen]

Thanks for taking me to places I probably will never get a chance to see.

[@thomasfortner6678]

We've been on three Carnival cruises for our 35th, 40th and 45th wedding anniversaries. We had a great time on each one. All three were in the western Caribbean, taking us to Chichen Itza, Progresso, Cosumel, Costa Maya, Roatan and Belize. I want to do this again. Doris and I don't drink, smoke or gamble, which makes a week on a cruise ship about a cheap as staying home.

[@yourseatatthetable]

Gotta respect the stash... lookin' good, sir.

[@hecdc305]

Bahamas has some of the clearest waters I've ever seen. There's some beautiful secluded beaches and small anchorages on the east side of the Berry Islands heading E and NE of Chub Cay. You can hang out there for two or three days and not see a boat go by. Thank you for the video and keep enjoying your trip. (DC-3's from the 80's, ah the good old days)

[@ricksundberg5659]

A cruise is a moving city for large people to eat, drink and sleep all day, food is the primary activity. I've been on several cruises while I dated a girl that had a family that loved them, so we would go once or twice a year. Sure, you can gamble if that's your thing or sit by the pool but to me it gets kinda old. The nightlife on the ship was fun sometimes, though I'm not a big dancer or kareoke guy. I've gone from San Diego to destinations in Mexico x3. Miami to Grand Turk x1, Aruba x1, Grand Cayman x2, San Juan x2, I went from San Francisco to Alaska and it was probably the best in my opinion. The problem is I have been to many of these places by plane and when you get to the ports and get off the boat all you really see is the ultra tourist trap type places. Once the novelty wears off I get bored. The boat does make a difference to me because I want things to be clean and feel new. I live north of San Francisco and I have done a lot of travel by plane, I feel you get a better feel for destinations working from land or private boat so you aren't greeted by hundreds of people wanting your money. Cruises are a relatively cheap vacation and generally safe so I think that is why a lot of people go. What I noticed is that the people I went with and met were usually impressed with the food which I felt was about the quality of a Vegas buffet. Some things were good, but mostly it wasn't impressive. Where I live we have really great places to eat so gorging on buffet chow isn't my thing. I love kids so I never was bothered by any kids having fun running around but I noticed it was a complaint of a lot of people who wanted to relax and read by the pool (which can get very busy). Staff was always nice and accommodating on the ship, waiters and waitresses were always nice as well. I would never go on a cruise and get an interior room, after being on a several cruises I will tell you the room matters a lot because it is your only escape for privacy and quiet time. You don't want to be cramped. The last 5-6 I went on I would always pay the extra few hundred to get a room with a balcony so I could sit and drink coffee, catch up on emails or calls in the morning.

[@jpindahaus]

I am so happy that you went here! We have been thinking about going there for just an extended weekend.

[@marksprinkle9725]

Just watching your trimaran and the comments on a cruise ship. Having been on 7 or 8 cruises they all had their pluses and minuses. The smaller ships were much more a boating experience as the monsters were just crowded floating cities. Our best cruise was a cabin in Tortola with 3 couples a Capt and chef. 5 years ago. As we approach our retirement the catamaran charter is definitely a better experience. I enjoy your videos and watch about 5 others sites as well.

[@craig6622]

love the boats' Canadian colours !!!

[@jeffl1619]

Our preference as longtime cruisers. Stick with the smaller ships. Try it you and Steph may really like it

[@edwardnigma2216]

Appreciate the commentary on the sailbag... I'm looking to have mine redone, and the way you explained how the cover on it works vs the zipper just stopped me from making a big mistake and dealing with that headache...

[@rayrussell2735]

gotta have a yellow bird drink... the complete Angeler. what a bar.. Big game has changed at all..

[@000001willy]

I haven't seen this video for more than a year or two. I really miss Steph. She's a sweetheart. I'm happy that she is pursuing what she wants to do with her life but I fund it hard when she and Bobby went their separate ways, but that's life.

[@kevin1339]

Thanks for sharing another awesome video Bobby this is something I'll never be able to do

[@TFABMN]

I've so much enjoyed "vicariously" your sailing and touring adventures! What a great ambassador for boating and boat travel you are! I've learned SO much from your videos. What an education. So glad I "found" you a few years ago!

[@rogermacdearmid4380]

My wife and I have been on two cruises, our honeymoon to the Caribbean, and tenth anniversary cruise around the Hawaiian islands. On our honeymoon, we just wanted to relax, but we were on a Carnival cruise. You couldn’t swing a dead car around without hitting a conga line. The food was incredible, but far too crazy for what we wanted. The Hawaiian cruise was out of this world. Amazing food, relaxed atmosphere, and it was Hawaii!! I think it was NCL.

[@davidheard7746]

Cruised the Mediterranean and loved it!

[@ericdownward6170]

Cruising with Seabourn is delightful.

[@andrewthacker114]

Water looks beautiful Cool boat.

[@ldixon8588]

My wife and I started crusing last year, and we've been on a couple. I recommend doing at least one. Best, so far, was the inagural sail of Carnival Celebration's from Southampton, UK, to Miami last October. 14 days on a brand new ship, I felt like getting my first new car.

[@rickylain9483]

Been on several cruises with Carnival, Loved every minute of it. You really should go.

[@douglascampbell7006]

Went on two cruises, Caribbean and Mediterranean. Wouldn't do the Carib again but the Mediterranean cruise made it possible to see 12 ports of call that otherwise would not have been possible in the same two-week period. Not a curie fan.

[@PrinceGrumpy4298]

AS requested My wife and I have 27 cruises that we have taken. Our fondest cruise was the Trans-Atlantic for 2 weeks cheap cruise and peaceful. 2nd week we enjoyed ports and ended in England. Good luck

[@luismanes3762]

Bobby and Steph should definitely do a cruise. My wife and I have gone on multiple cruises from Virgin Voyages and they are awesome.

[@johnnyeightball]

Looks like so much fun! Hey Steph it’s great to see you back. And I love zee accent of your new crew member! 😅 Enjoy… I’ll follow from here!

[@arottie4097]

Do you know where she is from?

[@fxpthl]

Well sir, cruise ships can be fun IF the ship isn't too big. We cruised the very first time on the "Pacific Princess", the original Love Boat, some twenty five years ago and loved it! Only about 750 passengers made it so nice and relaxed. On the other hand, we have cruised on a ship that had almost 5,000 passengers and it was awful! This coming Fall we will be cruising the British Isles on a ship accommodating only 950 and we are so looking forward to that one!

[@Superstealthman1]

carnival crusie is the best. always something to do or if you don’t feel like doing anything just relax.

[@glenbrown579]

Yep I've been on several cruises. At least 3 to Bahamas and 2 or 3 to western Carib which included Cosomel and Playa Del Carmen Mexico and one to USVI. I did take one very special cruise to the Med. on a very special kind of ship. So special that we had our own airport on the roof. USS Eisenhower CVN 69. That one took me to Athens and Naples and Toulon and Palma de Mallorca and Haifa.

[@williamjones3462]

Cruises are best if well planned but no not go on a 'party boat'. We have cruised Alaska, east and west Caribbean and east and west Mediterranean. Boarding and disembarkation are a pain but if well planned the shore trips can be very educational and enjoyable. During a storm the ship was rolling and my son and I played basketball on the upper deck. The most memorable game I ever played!
