Island Time Escapes is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Exuma Bahamas. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain William is prepared to put you on fish.

You're likely to go after Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Grunt, Hogfish, Lane Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and more with any luck. On these trips, it's common to bottom fish using light tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll step aboard a 31' Hatteras walkaround with capacity for 10 passengers. It has outriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Island Time Escapes!

This charger was fantastic. The captain and his first mate were incredibly patient with my children. Even my one-year-old, who was miserable on the charter, was having a great time. We caught loads of grouper, snapper and trigger fish. We’d definitely go back again.

Capt. Island Time runs trips out of Exuma aboard 31' Hatteras sport cruiser Walkaround. Keep your eyes peeled for Mutton Snapper, Great Barracuda and Amberjack as you try your hand at bottom fishing, spinning, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
