    Great half day trip!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on June 21, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    We got picked up right at the Altantis Hotel Marina for the 1pm trip. We caught 12-15 fish from Strawberry Grouper to Triggerfish. We were worried about kids getting seasick so we fished close to shore and there was pretty consistent action for most of the trip. it was fun and super simple. Crew cleaned and filet’d the fish and then dropped us off at a restaurant to cook it up.

    Great day fishing

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 26, 2025 • 5 adults

    If you are looking to fish anywhere in Nassau, this is the charter to go out on. Great people, good drinks, and more importantly plenty of fish. My family and I went on the morning trip, caught plenty of good eating size porgies and strawberry grouper. When we were getting ready to pack up, the captain threw in a trolling line and it got smacked by a massive grouper. After a good fight we landed a 45 pound grouper! The captain also took us to the island to see the wild pigs and swim with the turtles. What an action packed 4 hours it was!

    Amazing experience

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Me and my son went out with captain Ednie and Desmond. All I can say is it was a great trip. Both of these guys were awesome and helped me and my son catch a lot of fish. We caught around 20 fish in just over 3 hours and if I was in Nassau I wouldn’t go with any other charter

    guaranteed catch!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    If you’re looking to hook some fish, Captain Ednie will put you right on them. No trolling, just bottom fishing guaranteed us catch. we caught plenty of different species and we were dropped at the Green Parrot to have them cooked. grilled and fried, all delicious.

    Great trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 22, 2025 • 5 adults

    We went on a 4 hr trip and the weather wasn't the best. The water was very choppy and it was quite windy so the captain was concerned about what we might catch. He took us to 2 separate spots and eveyone on the boat was fighting fish. Between the 4 of us we caught around 30 fish and several different species of fish. I would recommend this crew they rigged all the poles and baited all the hooks and removed all the fish.

    We had a great time! Captain and first mate were both very nice and got us on fish very fast. My son wanted to catch a barracuda and thanks to the captains expertise, within the first 30 minutes, he caught 2! We both had a great experience!

    Such a great experience! Captain Ednie is extremely knowledgeable and makes the trip exactly what you want. It was just my son and I, and the Captain and his wonderful first mate were so accomodating and went above any beyond to make sure we had the best time. If you can secure a trip with this crew dont second guess- book it!

    tons of fun, fish!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 12, 2025 • 7 adults

    Captain was very knowledgeable about where to fish, helped our novice fisherman and was very kind to all of us. The firstmate was quiet but helpful. We changed spots to find beat fishing and the Captain took us to a spot to get fish cleaned and a great restaurant, Green Parrot, to cook our fish! Great fun!! Would do again!!

Capt. Ednie runs trips out of Nassau aboard a 35' Ocean Master. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi and Snappers and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
