POOL PARTY ATTIRE
In 2019, CJ was wrapping up a week in Marsh Harbor fishing the White Marlin Round Up and came to the island of Great Guana Cay for less than 24 hours, where Jess just happened to be celebrating the bachelorette party of one of her closest friends. A chance meeting and spilled drink altered the course of our lives forever 😊 We are so excited to invite our friends and family back to where it all began to celebrate with us as husband and wife!! Nippers is a bar and grill on a nearby island called Great Guana Cay. Nippers is located on the island of Great Guana Cay, about a 30-minute boat ride. We have secured a private ferry to get everyone safely to and from Nippers/Grabbers together for $40 per person. Everyone who wants to come we will meet at the ferry dock in Hope Town at 11 am Sunday morning to all ride to Great Guana together. They will return to pick us back up at 5 pm. Food/ drinks available for purchase at Nippers & Grabbers but for sure bring snacks, sun screen, towels or anything like that that you may want for a full day of fun in the sun!
