Our catch and cook boat trip in the Bahamas was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, welcoming, and incredibly well suited for families.
What stood out the most was how family friendly the entire excursion was. We brought our 20 month old, and I was initially a bit unsure how it would go, but it ended up being absolutely perfect. The crew was patient, attentive, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. Whether you have toddlers, young children, or older kids, this experience really works for all ages.
The fishing itself was fun and engaging, even for beginners, and the crew made sure everyone had a chance to participate. The highlight, of course, was the “cook” part, enjoying the fresh catch prepared right there. The food was incredible, fresh, flavorful, and easily some of the best we had during our stay.
Overall, this is a must do if you are visiting the Bahamas, especially for families looking for something memorable, interactive, and relaxed. We had such a great time and would absolutely do it again.

The captain was responsive messaging before the trip.  The boat was ready snd waiting when we arrived making it easy to tuck a half day trip into our two families conference schedule.  The captain and crew were both engaging and kept younger kids entertained and on some fish.  They were also aware that not all of us were avid fishermen or used to ocean waters and checked regularly offering to move to calmer waters.  Lastly, the fish was great tasting, even for those that typically don’t enjoy eating fish.
Great trip out that the captain andate enhanced compared to other charters I’ve been on.

The water was pretty rough on the only day we had availability.  Devonte was our captain, and he gave a few options, depending on how comfortable we felt on the choppy water. We were game for the bigger waves, and they obliged. They kept us safe, but still got us to great fishing spots. Both guides were great at helping us fish the way we prefer. My husband is fine to bait his own hooks and be pretty self-sufficient. I prefer to let them bait for me. They were always ready with more bait, to lend a hand, or a fresh pole if the gear needed attention.

After several hours of good fishing, they took us to snorkel at Rose Island. We saw so many different fish and sea life! When we finished snorkeling the beautiful reef, they had a delicious hot meal prepared from our catch. It was quite the experience that would be hard to top.

They took extra care to make sure we got back to our cruise ship in time, even while stopping to assist another craft that was dead in the water.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially considering the chop. We were worried they would cancel and instead they gave a great day on the water.

We had such an amazing time on our fishing excursion! The boat had 3 crew members who were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience so enjoyable from start to finish.

We caught a ton of fish (and an eel!) which was exciting on its own—but the highlight was definitely when we hooked a shark! That got everyone on board pumped and made for such a fun, unforgettable moment.

To top it all off, they filleted and cooked the fish right there on the boat for us, and it was absolutely delicious. There’s nothing better than eating fresh fish you just caught yourself.

Overall, the entire excursion was wonderful. We had a blast and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun day on the water!
