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 36' 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.

Incredible boat and crew!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 4, 20264 adults

My family had an incredible time. Caught 2 fish within the first 30 minutes of trolling. The boat was immaculate and the crew was awesome. They worked very hard to put us on some fish. They made my family feel comfortable and we shared lots of laughs. The captain scheduled us a lunch reservation at Morgans and they cooked part of our catch same day. Best fish I've ever tasted. Booking an offshore charter is not cheap. Know you're booking an amazing trip if you book a trip with Mark Eberts Charters.

Great Captain and First Mate
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 23, 20253 adults3 children

Weather was a but windy but the captain put us on some fish. Nothing to special but had plenty of missed bites, but the kids had a great time and the first mate was working hard to keep fresh bait out and help give us the best chance. In all we caught about 6 smaller fish and a 6' lemon shark while reeling in one of the smaller fish. If they arent biting, theres nothing the captain could have done different. Id do it again.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
