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!

Half Day Trip (PM) on November 14, 20256 adults
We had an afternoon free in Nassau and found this charter. Captain and first mate picked us up and quickly got the bait in the water and we were trolling in minutes. Caught two fish in about 30 minutes. Caught a few more, but the weather and waves in the afternoon were not cooperating. Afternoon charters are not as good as morning or evening. We made the best of the conditions and had a great time. Two in my party took naps on the sofa and one in the fighting chair while we waited for the late afternoon bites. Everything was taken care of which made our trip easy.

Half Day Trip (PM) on May 20, 20256 adults
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!

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 10, 202512 adults
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

Capt M and his deckhand were very experienced and had the boat in great order. Some of our group had never been fishing and they did a great job of making sure everyone got some action! I've charted boats all over and these guys were top notch.
