    True Local Captain with the Most Local Knowledge

    8 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captains Jason and Jay were two of the best we have ever fished with. They made my son (9) feel right at home on the boat and even helped him capture footage for his first fishing video. These guys are not some tourist trap organization…they truley care about their home fishery and do everything the right way! May come back to Nassau just to fish with them again. hoping they can join us in New Jersey to check out our fishery.

    Amazing day fishing!

    4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing • 4 adults • 1 child

     We had the best time fishing in the Bahamas with Captain Jason and his crew . They were very knowledgeable which made us catch a lot of fish, including Porgies, groupers and snappers. My eight-year-old even snagged a 10 foot Nurse shark! Capt Jason and his son Jason were very friendly and made the experience so much better. They even cleaned our fish and took us to the Margaritaville restaurant where they prepared it for us and was one of the best fish we ever had!  Definitely recommend to anyone who’s in the area!

    Best trip ever

    6 Hour – Offshore • 2 adults

    Capt. Jason was fantastic. Picked us up on time very polite and knew his way around. He made sure we caught enough fish for the day. I will highly recommend Capt. Jason if you’re looking for a good time, this is the Capt to hook up with.

    Jason Wheeler and Jason Jr. are Outstanding!

    8 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing • 2 adults

    Went on a full day with Jason and his son Jason. We caught a ton of fish from Lane Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Huge Grouper. Jason and Jason were absolutely the best. Easy to get to know, genuine, we landed some serious pound for pound grouper. They took us to a beautiful classic Bahamian beach restaurant and ate some of our catch. the whole day was perfect. Thank you Jason and we'll see you again in two days!

    These two went above and beyond! We want to stay here forever. Jason and his father were amazing. This was a spearfishing trip for my son‘s 21st birthday. They were able to get us on some giant lobsters and a good size grouper. Took us to an island restaurant to cook it up with drinks and pool. We would like to go out with these guys again

    I actually booked two trips Jason (Sr) and his son, Jason (Jay) . The first trip was a private snorkeling trip with the eight of us and Captain Eddie. Everyone had a great time, and the experience was very smooth. The second trip was with Jay. Me and my three boys went on a lobster spearfishing trip. Jay was somewhat under the weather but he persevered and did a great job. The boat was spotless and powerful, and got us to where we needed to go. The entire day was a really fun experience that we will all cherish. By the way, we spared six beautiful lobsters which we had for dinner.
