    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    Our trip was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but the weather had other plans—too rough to head out. The captain from Secret Cays Charter in Nassau, Bahamas recommended we try again Thursday, and that turned out to be the best decision we could’ve made. My wife and I booked a private trip, and before we even left, he told us the bite had been extremely tough—several boats were out and only one fish had been caught all day. But he didn’t just take us fishing—he went to work. He put in the effort, kept us moving, and never gave up. And because of that, he got us on not one, but TWO incredible Mahi Mahi—a cow and a bull, both around 5 feet long. The cow came in at 40 lbs, and the bull was pushing 50 lbs. In conditions where almost no one else was catching anything, he delivered an unforgettable experience. If you’re booking a fishing trip in Nassau, Bahamas—Secret Cays Charter is hands down the one you want. Hardworking, determined, and knows how to get it done.

    Yahooooooo for the Wahoooooo

    3/4 Day Trip on November 24, 2023 • 2 adults

    Just back after a beautiful 6 hr fishing trip offshore out of Nassau. Very very pleasant and rewarding trip with the crew of Secrets Cay ( father son team). The capt and mate ( his son), were very friendly and answered all of our questions with a smile on their faces. Little tough out there but they had us on fish fairly quick. My son boated an above avg wahoo and a Jack but also had other opportunities where the fish came out victorious over the fisherman. Unfortunately lost a few too but cant catch them all. That is why we will be rebooking with this team, to come back and catch the ones we left behind. We fish a lot back home in Canada and these guys made me feel like I was on my own boat. Thanks guys and we will be back in a few weeks. Tight lines!!!!!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on February 28, 2023 • 6 adults

    We had a great time on our 4 hour afternoon charter. Jovano and Cristian were awesome. Through their fishing expertise we caught two fish, a barracuda and a Wahoo. I strongly recommend their charter to anyone who is visiting the Nassau. 10 out of 10 from us!

    Had a great time with J and his dad. Would highly recommend them for your fishing trip. J is quick to respond to messages and communicates very well before leaving for the trip which takes their stress away.
