E.l. Watersports
+16Book your next trip with E.l. Watersports and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Nassau for more. Your guide for the day is Captain Ednie, so you’ll benefit from years of local experience.
Species like Great Barracuda, Crayfish, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Almaco Jack, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Mutton Snapper, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Capt. Ednie operates a 35’ Ocean Master center console with a capacity for 10 passengers. It has all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now’s the time to experience fishing in Nassau for yourself, with E.l. Watersports!

Great trip catching fish!
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 13, 2025
First off if you want to catch fish, captain Ednie is the man to get it done. When booking the trip, we were unsure what the conditions would be like. Captain ednie contacted us the day before and offered to pick us up from resort. After a short boat ride the wind was a little strong in deeper water, we fished a few minutes there and decided to move closer In to the island. That’s when the fun happened. Every cast out we would both hook up and bring fish in one after another. Didn’t take long to fill up a bucket full of fish. I would highly recommend taking a trip out. You will have lots of fun and captain ednie is there to keep you safe and make sure you have fun!!

Wow what a VIP fishing and Snorkel trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 13, 2024
Wow, what a VIP fishing and snorkel trip! First and foremost, I just wanna give a big big shout out to Captain Ednie! He was very professional and accommodating. We created the trip meaning we went fishing and we wanted to snorkel. He made time for that as well. We even took a tour of where the fancy yachts are docked We played music, danced on the boat and had fun. Water is provided. Make sure to bring your own drinks and snacks so that you’re extremely comfortable. There are places to purchase before you get on board. We will definitely book again!

Caught a ton of fish
Full Day Trip on April 28, 2025
Captain Ednie worked hard all day to keep us on fish. And we caught a lot of fish. If you are looking for a newer boat with all the latest technology and high end equipment, chasing larger fish than no. If you’re looking for someone who knows where to get on the numbers, that is going to put you on fish and try to keep your party getting bites, then Captain Edney is the choice. I booked this for a small group, a couple of which had never done this before. We may have caught close to 100 fish. We kept over 30 for a catch & cook for a large group of us and left about a dozen with Capt. Ednie to take home. Remember where you are and keep expectations in line and you should have a great time with Capt. Ednie. The group that went out with me said it was the highlight of the trip and everyone had a blast.

Great Time
Half Day Trip (PM) on January 31, 2025
We had a wonderful trip with Captain Ednie. He was great with communicating beforehand, met us on time, and took us straight to the fish. We moved to a few spots to keep the action going. All 6 anglers had a ton of fun. Captain Ednie kept us busy catching fish, offered great conversation, and made everything very enjoyable. I'd highly recommend booking with him.

Great morning of fishing and catching!
Half Day Trip (AM) on January 27, 2025
Captain Ednie was great - took us to a couple places well off shore (Atlantis still in view) where we were able to catch fish in abundance. Strawberry Grouper, Yellow Fin Snapper, Trigger Fish, Grunt, Porgy, and a Barracuda! Captain Ednie also set us up with someone to filet our catch. We had an excellent dinner that evening. Can’t go wrong with Captain Ednie.
