Running angling trips out of Nassau, Secret Cays invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Javano will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in deep-sea fishing and trolling, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin, Sailfish, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your fishing adventure starts on a custom 35’ Donzi center console boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features a dedicated restroom inside the console, a multimedia system, Bluetooth, and front bow seating/lounge space.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. You can keep anything you catch as long as it’s legal to do so.

Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. There will be complimentary bottled water aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks if you prefer.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Secret Cays.
