    September fishing trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    Bad Weather Great Bite

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 7, 2025 • 4 adults

    With tropical storms in the area we knew the seas would be rough and they were, but dispite the rolling seas the bite was on within seconds of dropping bait into the channel. We caught Yellow Jack, Snapper, a parrot fish and a few other species, even a small shark. They were really accommodating since we came in on a cruise and couldnt start at the normal time their ad said. highly recommended

Beautiful Morning of Fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 29, 2025 • 6 adults

We booked the half-day morning trip. 6 people. The captain arrived on time. The boat is spacious and 6 of us fished without any problems. We fished at two different spots, first in shallow water and then in slightly deeper water. In both cases with excellent results. We brought home a barracuda and about 30 specimens of various species (which we ate that same evening). We saw some large groupers but they didn't bite. Great day. Captain and crew very friendly and helpful

Great capt. and mate
Full Day Trip on June 8, 2026 • 3 adults

Capt. Ednie did everything possible to catch my specific target fish, instead we caught many other species of fish. I had a great time, and had something on most of the all day trip. Capt. Ednie and Devin were very accommodating and friendly, and i brought home plenty of table fare. E.I. is most definitely the Captain i will use on my next trip to the bahamas.

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!
