Someone on the site mentioned a racing boat excursion. I'm looking for some daytime fun besides laying on the beach. Does anyone know of this trip or any others that make for fun/activity on the island? Any thoughts about power options as well as biking, hiking, snorkeling, etc.

There used to be a pair of old America's Cup racers, but I couldn't find them. They showed up in Nassau

Its Called Americas Cup Racing and its a blast, its out of Bobbys Marina in phillipsburg, about 70.00pp and you do the work and race against another boat or the clock, the ones in Nassau are different, we looked into them. these are Denis Conners Stars and Stripes and Canadas True North.

The yacht races are a blast! We did it last November and really had fun. The crew does a great job and makes sure there's something for everyone to do - no matter what your physical limitations.

For something different, I would suggest a day trip to Saba, a great little island, jsut a fifteen minute flight away. Like stepping into a differenet world...great hiking if you are into that, great diving, and the friendliest people.
