Cozy Waters "We Cook Your Catch" 

The charter operator canceled 2 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.

We picked Cozy Waters as they were very effective with answering questions. thoughout the process of planinng they continued to have quick resposes which helpedus feel more comfortable i ur choice. We hada group of 5 (2 adult and 3 kids (ages11 to 15). All have have fished in lakes and rivrsbut never in open water. The first impression was when we cruised out for off shore trolling. What a blast! Sea spray and adrenaline. My boys loved it. Devante explained what and how he was baitng, and how to hunt for when trolling. My son reeled in a 2.5 foot barricuda. Unfortunately after a resetting the bait we had a afamily member become sea sick (we're from the Midwest so open water can catch up to us). Cozy Water crew immediately suggested an alternative agenda that included giving my son some time on land to readjust and have some unscheduled swim time. Afterwards we went out to a reef and did some drop casting where we caught grouper, porgies, squirrel fish, and trigger fish and more. The big surprise was the 6.5 ft nurse shark (my boys claim was bigger) which we had to let go. Devante prepped the fish we could we eat , providing a nice snack for he ride home. An adventure our family won't soon forget. Thanks Cozy Water Crew!

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.
