    A Spectacular Bahamas Fishing Experience 🎣🌴

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    I had an unbelievable experience fishing with Captain Adonis and first mate Jackson aboard Yellowtail Charters - Major Moves 32’. From start to finish, they made the trip one to remember. The highlight of the day was a true once-in-a-lifetime catch — an African pompano. It was Captain Adonis’ first time ever catching one and only the third one he had ever seen. When the captain is as excited as he was, you know it was a special catch. My dad and I also caught barracuda, grouper, snapper, and more throughout the trip. The 32-foot boat was perfect for the experience, and I would highly recommend booking the Major Moves 32’ for anyone looking for an unforgettable Bahamas fishing trip. Captain Adonis and Jackson were great to fish with and helped make this a trip we’ll never forget. You can see more of the trip and catches on my Instagram: @ryantarsio 🎣

    Great Trip

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    We had an incredible day on the water with the Captain and his two sons! They were friendly, knowledgeable and worked hard from start to finish to make sure we had an amazing experience. They knew exactly where the fish were and kept us on them all day. We caught fish after fish and had an absolute blast! It was clear how much they love what they do, and their teamwork made the trip even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a charter with a hardworking crew that knows how to put you on the fish while making the day fun and memorable, this is the one to book. We can't recommend them enough and will definitely be back!

    absolutely the BEST day in the Bahamas, thanks to the Yellowtail crew!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    From start to finish, just an outstanding experience! Koren was so helpful and answered all of my questions. Mario was very passionate about keeping fish on the hook, and knew the waters like the back of his hand. Nev kept the baits and lures fresh, swapping out while were "hunting" to find what worked. Jackson surprised us by letting us know he was relatively new to the crew, but he has obviously picked up quickly and was lightning fast grabbing rods and putting them in the chair. The crew had us pulling in a barracuda before i even realized lines were in the water, and my shoulders are truly wore out from all the bonito and blackfin we kept catching. I went out with my main target being a blue marlin, and although we weren't able to get one to bite, this crew gave it all they had and made sure we had an amazing day on the water. If you're coming to the Bahamas and want the best day on a boat, the only choice is Yellowtail!

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Skipjack Tuna

    Crushed the Mahi!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 10 adults • 8 children

    When we arrived we discussed a plan. We discussed on shore fishing vs offshore trolling. We decided to go offshore and troll. The crew was courteous and professional. They were also very friendly. We got into a school of Mahi about an hour into the trip. We had a bit of chaos where we pulled in 4 Mahi in about 10 minutes. About an hour later we pulled in a nice barracuda. We chased driving birds for almost two hours after that. We saw jumping tuna the whole time that we were chasing the birds but didn't hook up. The entire experience was excellent.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Response from Charter operator

    We sure did crush the Mahi! And it SURE got chaos at some point!!.The tuna didn’t want to bite but they will next time. Thanks for the recommendation!

    The Best Charter in Nassau

    6 hours fishing trip • 2 adults

    During our family vacation in Nassau, we fished with three different charter services, and Yellowtail Charters was the best of them all. The captain was excellent – truly knowledgeable about the local waters and clearly experienced, putting us on fish and making the whole trip run smoothly from start to finish. The crew was extremely well prepared and attentive, always ready to help with the gear, guide us through every catch, and make sure everyone on board had a great time. The boat was well equipped and comfortable.

    We had a great time on our 1/2 day trip. The captain and mates were the best and made the day enjoyable. The best part of the fishing trip was the catching (36” Wahoo and a bunch of Yellow Tails). I would recommend this charter and we will be back. Thanks!!

    These guys kept pivoting till they put us on the fish! They also didn’t care how much gas they used in order to do so! We wound up with a significant bounty and great day overall. Thx fellas!
