5.00My mom and I just completed our second tour (one last year to Exuma and one this year), and they somehow managed to top themselves! The crew is incredibly attentive, fun, and brings the best energy to the water. What we love most is how stress-free they make everything, the entire itinerary is perfectly planned out from start to finish. If you are looking for an amazing, seamless day on the water, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Highly recommended

Exceptional Day on the Water with Captain Willie & Emma!

5.00Exceptional Day on the Water with Captain Willie & Emma! Rating: ★★★★★ Our half-day private charter was easily the highlight of our trip! From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Willie and Emma made our family feel like VIPs. Their energy is infectious—between the cold drinks always being ready and the endless supply of jokes, they kept us laughing and relaxed the entire time. The itinerary was absolutely perfect for a half-day adventure: • Swimming with the Pigs: A bucket-list experience that was well-organized and so much fun. • Sea Turtles: We had amazing views of these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. • Fishing: They set us up for some light fishing, which was a huge hit with our college-aged kids. • Lunch at Footprints: The perfect way to wrap up the morning with a delicious meal in a stunning setting. Willie’s expert navigation and Emma’s attentive service ensured everything ran smoothly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our family had the best possible experience. If you’re looking for a friendly, professional, and genuinely fun crew for a private charter, look no further. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Amazing Time!

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 ❤️
