Nassau is famous in popular culture for its history with pirates. Nowadays the only plundering done is for fish in the extremely rewarding waters of the Bahamas and you'll have Yellowtail Charters by your side, to help you reel that booty in.
The vessel you'll be fishing from is an imposing 42' Sea Yacht, perfectly suited to fishing the high seas around Nassau. She's powered by twin 450 HP Cummins engines, you can expect to go around 21 knots at her maximum cruising speed, perfect for trolling for pelagic predators. The amenities are all there too, a flybridge, fighting chairs, equipment for spearfishing and snorkeling. You can also relax, because there's a full kitchen, bed, A/C cabin, and a multimedia system on board.
The local fish species are bountiful and very fun to catch – Amberjacks, Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Yellowtail Snappers, Wahoo, Skipjack Tuna, Sailfish, and finally, the Blue Marlin. Throughout all of this you'll be assisted and instructed by Captain Shalako Moxey, the owner and a fisherman with over 30 years under his tackle belt. You'll go reef fishing, bottom fishing, snorkeling and spearfishing, and deep sea fishing. You'll go up to 20 miles offshore on longer trips.
All the required equipment is provided by the captain. There is no minimum age for children, the captain provides life vests in all sizes. The vessel is disabled accessible and anglers of all skill levels are invited to join Yellowtail Charters on this fishing adventure!

Mark Irwin•
New Jersey, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedCrushed the Mahi!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 8, 2026 • 10 adults • 8 childrenWhen we arrived we discussed a plan. We discussed on shore fishing vs offshore trolling. We decided to go offshore and troll. The crew was courteous and professional. They were also very friendly. We got into a school of Mahi about an hour into the trip. We had a bit of chaos where we pulled in 4 Mahi in about 10 minutes. About an hour later we pulled in a nice barracuda. We chased driving birds for almost two hours after that. We saw jumping tuna the whole time that we were chasing the birds but didn't hook up. The entire experience was excellent.
Kirk CrouseRepeat angler•Pennsylvania, US•Member since 20252 trips5.0VerifiedAction start to finish
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 15, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptin Moxie and crew gave us the option of going deep sea fishing or staying more shallow which usually means more action for the kids. we chose the more action route. On our way out the crew saw an opportunity to go deep and it worked out and we caught a tuna. we then went shallow and caught a number of fish before trollimg the reefs and catching some yellow tail and barracuda. Nev and Mikey were great with the kids and very accommodating.
John Gaulrapp•New York, USMember since 20264.3VerifiedVery good trip. Excellent crew!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 2026 • 3 adultsWent on 1/2 day AM trip with my 2 sons. Crew couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. Super accommodating. Cant say enough good things. Boat was nice, not spectacular. Definitely suited for its purpose. First hour or so went by without a catch. However after moving some, we reeled in 7 barracuda, including one huge one. Scenery and water was beautiful. Good amount of fish caught. Excellent crew. Only “minor” disappointment was the lack of array of fish we caught after looking at some of the pictures on the website. But that’s fishing- every trip is a bit different i suppose.
Kathryn Lowder•Alabama, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAmazing!!! Just perfect!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe could not of asked for a better fishing charter! Just got back and already eating our catch! Captain Mario and first mate Adonias were incredible, helpful, fun, patient, kind and so welcoming! Our family of 4 had the best time and caught a bunch of fish! They were great with my boys (10yo and 13yo)! Highly recommend! 5 stars! Will book again!
Bart DupontRepeat angler•Texas, US•Member since 20233 trips5.0VerifiedGreat crew!
Full Day Trip on June 17, 2026 • 5 adultsMario, Nev and Jackson were great! Started the day trolling deep. No birds and no good weeds. Caught one blackfin. Moved to the reefs to catch some fish for fun. Lots of fish-barracuda, yellowtail and mackerel. Crew was willing to do whatever we wanted. All 5 people got to reel in plenty of fish.
David HartmannRepeat angler•Missouri, US•Member since 20262 trips5.0VerifiedTight lines!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 6, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenAbsolute blast on this boat. Crew was fantastic. Fishing was amazing. Super accommodating crew with extensive knowledge of the area and good patterns to fish. We had some inexperienced fishers with us and they couldn't have made things easier for us. Will be back to slay some more fish in the future!
Travis HunterRepeat angler•Oklahoma, US•Member since 20233 trips5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 26, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had a lot of fun with these guys. We were catching fish as soon as they put the bait in the water. We reeled in two Barracudas, 7 yellowtails and one Spanish Mackerel. We lost a couple of fish due to Baracudas eating them. it was a great time!
Sharon Gebhard•Texas, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat Trip

We had an incredible day on the water with the Captain and his two sons! They were friendly, knowledgeable and worked hard from start to finish to make sure we had an amazing experience. They knew exactly where the fish were and kept us on them all day. We caught fish after fish and had an absolute blast! It was clear how much they love what they do, and their teamwork made the trip even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a charter with a hardworking crew that knows how to put you on the fish while making the day fun and memorable, this is the one to book. We can't recommend them enough and will definitely be back!
We did had an amazing day with you guys..Thanks for the recommendation and hope to fish with you soon
From start to finish, just an outstanding experience! Koren was so helpful and answered all of my questions. Mario was very passionate about keeping fish on the hook, and knew the waters like the back of his hand. Nev kept the baits and lures fresh, swapping out while were 'hunting' to find what worked. Jackson surprised us by letting us know he was relatively new to the crew, but he has obviously picked up quickly and was lightning fast grabbing rods and putting them in the chair. The crew had us pulling in a barracuda before i even realized lines were in the water, and my shoulders are truly wore out from all the bonito and blackfin we kept catching. I went out with my main target being a blue marlin, and although we weren't able to get one to bite, this crew gave it all they had and made sure we had an amazing day on the water. If you're coming to the Bahamas and want the best day on a boat, the only choice is Yellowtail!
Wow Mark, thanks for the review.Yes Captain Mario is very passionate about fishing! We here at Yellowtail Charters aim everyday to do our absolute best to make your experience the Best! It was an absolute pleasure finding with you guys! Hope to see you soon!!

We sure did crush the Mahi! And it SURE got chaos at some point!!.The tuna didn’t want to bite but they will next time. Thanks for the recommendation!

Kirk we always offer what we think is the best type of fishing for our guests and for you light tackle it was.We had a lot of action! Thanks for the recommendation
