Awesome trip
Elton_S
, Jul 2022
Awesome day. Captain Bodie was wonderful. Very informative and friendly. We all thought he was the best guide we could have asked for. His boat was clean with plenty of room for all five of us. Love the private relaxed tour. We swam with sea turtles!!! It was awesome!!! It was so cool to see them in there own environment. Never felt rushed. The next stop was a sugar white beach with a beautiful reef near by. We saw beautiful, colorful fish and plant life. Sooo cool. Once again, no rush. Very relaxing. Great day. Great Captain
Great excursion

Scammed
Amanda_B
, Apr 2022
Called us to confirm had us pay $100 transfer to marina and once we arrived they called the driver to cancel. We’re out the $100 and no boat charter either. Total scammed.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
How are you Amanda , you guys were never scammed , you know this , we spoke on the phone , you guys did not want to reschedule your charter and we agreed to cancel the tour for that day , I spoke to you and your companion on the phone while in your private van , what was agreed and it was fine , I spoke to your driver as well and she told me you guys were fine and she did not charge you guys , I don’t see why after all of that you would still feel the need to leave a review of this sort but I do appreciate you for booking with us , unfortunately you could not experience our great half day tour . Thank you again .
Great family adventure

Captain Kennedy made our family’s charter so special. He was amazing from start to finish and we felt safe and very attended to.
The waters were a bit rough so the itinerary was modified for a smoother journey. My children are newer to snorkeling and they saw an incredible reef and sea life. Captain Kennedy found a private beach for us to swim and hunt for seashells.
His adult beverage, the Sweet Emily, hit the spot. The kiddos enjoyed water, soda and snacks.
We highly recommend this charter. Great time had by all.

Captain Bodie was the best part of this tour. He made our experience so much fun. Snorkeling with all of the fish was absolutely amazing. We did get to see a couple turtles as well. We had the best time!

This tour is the one you must book. Such a great price for a private tour. Captain Bodie was amazing, the boat was perfect for us, the rum punch and food was great. The diving spots are beatiful, tons of fish, turtles and sting rays. One of the best snorkeling tours I've been on.
We had a blast!!

Captain Bodie was awesome!! He showed us a good time! He was patient with our kids who snorkeled for the first time. Would highly recommend him! It was perfect with COVID, having our own personal tour.
Isaac was the bomb!

We had a rough start with some waves but Isaac made the trip very enjoyable. He was entertaining and fun. The boat was a little older and needs a little sprucing up but this made the memory as well. :)
Be aware

Based on the previous reviews, we had high expectations on this private tour. We were expecting more time in the water that going with public boat. First our captain was late for almost 40mins, and finally arrived after several calls to the office. He is a friendly young man with good boating skills (one star here). He took us to the spot where several big touring boats already there and we were only given in the water snorkeling for no more than 15mins. Then he drove to Rose Island and parked the boat in the water channel and fed us chips and drinks (one more star here) and told us to have 40mins at the spot. BUT, he hurried is back in less than 20mins. He then told us that he has to catch his next appointment at 1pm and didn't drive us to the third spot he told is at the beginning of the trip. We had a good time riding the boat but if you are looking for snorkeling time, be aware.

Best time ever! Captain Bodie did a fantastic job w challenging weather. He took us for unbelievable snorkeling on a reef, we saw Gilligan's Island, and we finished with a hike on a private beach. I will DEFINITELY be a repeat customer!
Bodie has the best attitude, is super friendly, and cared about what was important to us.
The best excursion in the Bahamas!

We had a fabulous vacation and we all think this excursion was the best day of our fabulous vacation! Captain Isaac and Mouse did an extraordinary job of keeping us safe, comfortable, and attended to every need. Just two really nice guys who enjoy their jobs. We had never experienced a private excursion before and it is absolutely worth it… The snorkeling was some of the best we did in years and the turtles are always phenomenal… Would definitely do this again!
Great experience!

We saw so many sea turtles and colorful fish. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the rum punch and the day was beautiful. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Our family if seven (ages 60 to 5 years old ) had a great time with captain Kennedy. We enjoyed snorkeling but the tine at the secluded beach on Rose Island was the best! Beautiful sand, Beautiful water Really strong Bahama Mamas. The stops we made were at the same locations that were visited by other boats I saw online that were three times the price. The boat is older and small but but we went to the same places and had a good time.
What an amazing experience!

Captain Missick and Bullet gave our family an experience we will never forget!!
We had an afternoon charter and visited a beautiful reef to snorkel with fish. We were given snacks and a lovely Bahama mama cocktail while we travelled to Green Cay where we saw and snorkelled with the turtles. Bullet and captain missick pointed out all of the sites, film sets and scenery along the way! Visiting the pristine private beach-it was spectacular!
The whole trip was amazing and they looked after us so well!
Thank you
Both so much!!
