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!

Wonderful Fishing Charter Experience!!!

VERIFIED

We recently went on a fishing trip with Yellowtail Charters. Captain Moxy and Sam were fantastic. So friendly, more than 40 years combined experience, brought everything needed, and adjusted to trip to our wishes. They know the area like the back of their hand. You simply tell them what you want to do and they make it happen. They do all the work and you catch the fish. We caught barracuda and of course, yellow tail! They even took us to a gorgeous private area so we could swim for a while. Highly recommended! you won't be disappointed!

Adonis is the best 1 st mate. He gets lines tangled but he doesn't yell and curse, he untangles with patience. He knows the fishing areas and what kind of fish it is when they bring it in. Captain Moxley and his 1st mate communicate well.He does all the driving and managed the rough water very well. All in all it was a fantastic trip!!

I have never before!!!!

VERIFIED

It has become a tradition for my kids and I to use a fishing charter during spring break. Sometimes You catch sometimes you don't. I have never before had the captain stop the boat and say"I don't think fish are biting with what we are doing. Do You mind if we switch strategy". Then the fish started flying into the boat!!! Thank you captain. He just wanted the kids to have fun, catch fish and have a good experience. Thank you
