Captain Mark Ebank's Charters

With Captain Mark Ebank’s Charters, you will get a friendly, fun, and exciting fishing experience with a local captain. You will be able to be part of the crew, where you will have your very own island boat, a knowledgeable captain, and the productive waters all to yourselves.

Hit the reefs during the nighttime or spend your day fishing the 12-mile bank. Stay close to shore or venture just a little bit further out. You will have 5 lines in the water and will be able to try your hands at light and heavy tackle fishing, bottom fishing, drift fishing, trolling, deep sea fishing, and spinning.

Captain Mark Ebanks will work hard to put you on Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Snapper, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Triggerfish, Nassau Grouper, Blue Marlin, Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna, and Yellowtail Snapper.

Enjoy your day out on the water and split it between fishing and snorkeling. Take a dip in those crystal clear waters or visit Stingray City. All of that happens aboard a 40’ Luhrs boat, built in 2006 and powered by twin 440 Yanmar engines. It can take up to 8 guests aboard and is rigged with modern navigational and fishfinding electronics. This spacious boat is also equipped with a restroom, sleeping and kitchen areas, an icebox, a fighting chair, and an array of professional accessories. The only thing that’s missing is you!

All trips include the use of quality gear, tackle, lures, licenses, bottled water, and a complimentary fish cleaning and filleting service.
