    Captain

    Half Day Rose Island Fishing (AM)5 adults2 children

    Where do I begin? Our captain, “Frenchie,” was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the island’s history was incredible, and he made the entire experience unforgettable. We swam with the pigs, swam with turtles, snorkeled on the reef, visited Gilligan’s Island, and fished at three different spots — and every one of them produced! My 8- and 9-year-olds are already asking when we can come back so we can book another fishing trip with Frenchie. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the island!

    On Fish Right Away

    Half Day Rose Island Fishing (AM)3 adults1 child

    We went out with Captain Frenchie for a 4 hour AM charter. Frenchie was awesome. On the way out he took a moment to point out a few sights and points of interest and swing by the swimming pigs. Once out on the water he had us on fish with literally the first cast. All together we put about 20-22 fish on the boat with 10 keepers including a beauty of a triggerfish, several groupers and grunts. On the way home we swung by to see some sea turtles. Deno took the time to swing by the dock to see us off as well. All in all it was as great of a day as we could have hoped for. Thank you Triple D!

    What a Day!!!!!!

    Full Day Trip3 adults1 child

    If you don't read this whole review, walk away with this.... These guys care about your happiness and will do everything they can to make this an AMAZING trip for you!!!!!! We had an absolute blast. Was the weather perfect? Not even close, but that didn't stop us from going and having fun. It was a sunny and very windy day, so the ride out was a little rough for a 9yr old, two 80+ year olds , and two 40 somethings, but the captain took us to a cove to relax and recover from the right ride. Then, out of nowhere, the mate asked if anyone was dive certified (I am) and next you know, we're snorkeling and looking for queen conchs. After pulling in 20 or so, my 9yr old son hopped in the water and became a spotter for us, pointing out conch left and right. In all, we grabbed about 40-50 and had enough to eat lunch and send some home to their families. My 9yr old son was even able to dive down and grab one, which the crew cleaned for us to take home. We did some fishing and had some great bites in rough seas, but couldn't land the big one (my fault). We went to swim with the pigs, and once done, went to a small island. There, we got to hang out on a beautiful beach as a family while they cleaned and cooked fresh conch two ways. All I can say is that the food was out of this world. We did head back after that, but what a day. PLEASE don't hesitate to go out with these guys. You will not regret one bit.

    Great Variety!!

    Half Day Rose Island Fishing (AM)2 adults

    We spent our first full day in tge Bahamas with Mario and Frenchie! Started with a little rain but they did a great job of waiting ot out snd getting us around it. We stopped at the pigs first, then went and fished before snorkeling. We have snorkeled in Mexico and Belize and this was by far best. Before heading back in they also took us to one more stop to snorkel with the giant sea turtles. If you want a little more than just fishing this is a great charter!! And Mario and Frenchie were amazing and informative!!

What's biting with Rose Island fishing and snorkeling in Nassau

The last few Billfish can be caught offshore, but don't worry, Swordfish are still at their best. Mahi Mahi are biting well, too, and the reefs are teeming with Snapper and Grouper, making for productive offshore fishing.
