Boating Flings, sponsored by The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism & Aviation, are like road trips but with lots and lots of water…and boats. A lead boat breaks the waves for the caravan of participants and a sweep at the rear of the flotilla ensures that no one gets left behind. Time on island is unstructured to allow freedom to fish, dive, explore or laze in the sun as preferred.

The Bigga Mo's Memorial weekend is a major event held on Eleuthera every year in memory of Mr. Muqtasid Thompson.

He had a great talent for hosting some of the best events on Eleuthera at the family-owned Ronnies Hi-D-Way, he was able to bring in local and international artists to perform on the stage. Young adults and middle aged looked forward to being greeted by him at the door or sitting on the steps.
