5.00Today was one for the books!!! I’m literally still smiling from the best boat excursion ever!! Our day was perfect with calm seas and beautiful sunshine. We had an amazing time swimming with the pigs, feeding, and also got the chance to take lots of pics with them. On to Rose Island where we met the beautiful staff at the restaurant that made us feel welcome along with the chefs who did a fantastic job with our food and drinks. Last but not least. To the boat captain and crew, job well done 10/10. It was just beautiful memories, unforgettable adventures, from start to finish ❤️

5.00Born Free Charters is one of the best for every excursion, snorkeling, fishing and more. Everything you need in a Charter company Born Free has it covered. Whenever I book with this company I’m well taken cared of from I enter the boat I’m greeted with drinks and snacks. The team always make sure I’m comfortable and ensure I have a great overall experience. Recently I’ve celebrated my birthday with my mom, and I can tell you it was one of the most therapeutic experiences. I’ve swam with the pigs which was so fun as they greeted with love. The staff also made sure we understood the guidelines for safety and how to feed for a better experience. We ended the day with lunch at Foot Prints and a lovely cocktail. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re ever thinking of booking a Charter company on your next visit to The Bahamas or if you are a local resident and planning a day trip for an occasion. Don’t hesitate, Born Free is the best. You will be happy you did and will want the fun to NEVER end. 10/10!!
Outstanding 1/2 day adventure

5.00Such a fun time being on an extremely fast speedboat cruising from island to island in search of turtles, grabbing a great lunch at a lively and energizing family owned beach bar on a private island. Snorkeling in the middle of the ocean by jumping off the back of the boat into crystal clear 30’ deep water. Captain Sid was impressive to watch navigate the harbor and docking into tight spaces. Deran and Harness were very accommodating and had us well hydrated, fed, and enjoying beverages as soon as we got back on the boat after each stop.
The Caribbean Queen staff was amazing!!
