I can certainly say that booking a boat day with Captain Eddie absolutely did the trick and MADE our trip! We originally booked for six hours and had so much fun, we asked to add another hour on. Captain Eddie is easy to work with, very professional, and has tons of great suggestions for things to do while you are in FTL. The pictures of the boat don't do it justice - there is so much room for walking around and tons of seating area, and enough cooler space for any alcohol you need. I will admit, at first I was wary of not going through a typical boat charter company, especially since I was handling other people's money who were paying for our boat day. I did my due diligence and even privately messaged a few of the other ladies who reviewed Hard Charters on here to be sure that they had a fun and safe experience, and the feedback was all immensely positive. This helped me make the decision to book with Captain Eddie and I am SO glad I did! It was the perfect day and exactly what I (and our bride!) had envisioned.

I highly recommend Island Boy Adventures if you are going to the Bahamas. I took two trips with…read moreIsland Boy on my wife and my recent trip to Exuma. The first trip we took with Evvie, the owner of the business. Evvie is a very cool guy, low key, and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Bahamas. He took us to Compass Cay to swim with the nurse sharks, and to Staniel Cay for lunch. The water was the most beautiful we had ever seen, and Evvie took us to some very off the beaten path spots. The second trip we went to Long Island for lunch with Tonio, and then fishing on the way back. Tonio is very personable and also knowledgeable. He filleted our fish for us on the dock and then hooked up us with a local place who BBQd it fresh. The other thing about Island Boy is they do not do open charters, you rent the boat so it's totally private and customized. We had a great time on their charters, highly recommend!

I've been out on the Helen S which offers offshore drift boat fishing a couple of times. The…read morecaptain, Skip Dana, has years of experience at doing what he does so you're in pretty good hands. It generally sails 3 times a day with a morning, afternoon and evening trips of around 4 hours each. They provide you with rod, reel, bait and a fishing license is unnecessary. The times I've gone out on it were OK, but for drift fishing, the boat was somewhat overcrowded on those occasions. Hence, I would say the best times might be off season when there are fewer people around. I won't comment on the catch since that is generally a situation of the fish being cooperative, certainly not the lack of skill or in any way the fault of the ship, the crew or the fishermen.

I have been fishing with this company for years. They provide an amazing family experience. I love…read morethe boats, the staff, and the location. The Helen S is a my favorite boat but the Fish City Pride is a perfect alternative. I prefer to fish the morning trips so that I'm at the marina early enough to watch all the boats and marine life. The staff are like family. Very helpful and always excited to see people catch fish. The mates are knowledgeable and quick to help with fish and tangles. The captains know all the best spots to fish and will personally clean your fish for you back at the dock. Other fishing charters include a 45 minute boat ride to the fishing hole. With this company, you've got lines in the water 10 minutes after leaving the marina. This means you get a full extra hour of fishing unlike the Ft Lauderdale based charters. They provide everything you need to fish. All you need is your sunglasses, sunblock, a sandwich, and something to drink. This is a alcohol free boat so leave the beer at home.
