Sun glasses and a hat (polarized glasses are recommended). Towels if you plan on snorkeling.

What species of fish are you catching?
Fish migrate through the Bahamas and it depends on the time of the year. Please visit our (Bahamas Fishing Calendar) page for what’s catching and when.

What months are best for Marlin fishing?
April, May, June and July are typically our best months with May and June being the best.

How long is the trip to the fishing grounds?
We are very fortunate in Nassau, the 1,000 ft. shelf is less than a quarter mile offshore. We are in the ocean fishing within 15 minutes of leaving the dock.

I would like to go Bonefishing while vacationing in Nassau.
There is really no bonefishing available in Nassau. We suggest you fly to Andros Island or Eleuthera, those are the two nearest areas for good bonefishing

Can I have my trophy fish mounted?
Yes, we are agents for Gray Taxidermy, Inc., the worlds largest marine taxidermy company located in Pompano Beach, Florida

What do we do with the fish we catch?
It is very difficult to take fish back home. If you can get it frozen, you are allowed by Bahamas Fisheries Regulations to take 8 lbs. of fillets back home. Cruise Ship Regulations do not allow passengers to bring fish back on board. Some clients will have a local restaurant prepared it for dinner. Some will have us arrange for it to be mounted as trophy and the majority leave it with the crew.
