About

Island Vibes Boat Tours was founded in 2025 by Carl Lyles, an entrepreneur from Boerne, Texas, with a deep appreciation for travel, adventure, and unforgettable experiences on the water. Inspired by the natural beauty and laid-back spirit of the Bahamas, Carl set out to create a boat tour company focused on connection—connection to the islands, the water, and the moments that make a trip truly memorable.

Based in the Bahamas, Island Vibes Boat Tours specializes in immersive island experiences, including visits to the world-famous swimming pigs of Exuma. Each tour is designed to balance excitement and relaxation, offering guests the chance to explore crystal-clear waters, discover stunning cays, and enjoy the authentic rhythm of island life. The focus is simple: unforgettable scenery, iconic experiences, and an easygoing atmosphere that lets guests fully enjoy the day.

At its core, Island Vibes Boat Tours is about creating experiences people will talk about long after they return home. Whether it’s your first time in the Bahamas or a return visit, our goal is to help you slow down, soak it all in, and leave with incredible memories of the sea, the islands, and the adventure that brought you here.
