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!

What a day on the water! From the moment the lines hit the water, it was game on. We spent the entire day fighting fish, reeling them in, resetting, and doing it all over again. By the end, my arms, backs, and shoulders were screaming for mercy, but I wasn’t complaining. The fish simply never stopped cooperating.

The perfect ending? Cleaning the day’s catch and sitting down to an incredible meal of the freshest fish imaginable. After spending all day battling them, enjoying that first bite made every sore muscle worth it.

An unforgettable trip, amazing company, incredible fishing, and enough fresh fish to fill a belly. Now, if anyone knows a good physical therapist, I’m taking recommendations.

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.
