The experience

Your day starts aboard a 26-foot Sailfish cruising smoothly over the blue Bahamian waters, and the boat can reach inland or offshore destinations in under 15 minutes. The seating is comfortable and the boat is great for kids, so the ride itself is part of the fun. Ice and water are complimentary, and the Captain is there to personalize the day for your group alone, since no one else is on board.

Rose Island is the stop on the route, and it's all about beautiful reefs and a beach. The Sailfish beaches right at the sand, so you can step onto the shore. Snorkeling equipment is included, so you can float over the reefs with your own gear ready.

Once the boat is back in open water, the fishing begins with light tackle, and light tackling is what this boat specializes in. Tackle gear, bait and licenses are provided, and the professional crew is with you the whole way. If you land a catch, it can be cleaned and cooked on request, which turns the afternoon's work into a meal.
