Snorkel & Turtle Adventure on our 43' Bertram in Nassau

We had an amazing day out on the water with Captain Eugene and Moose! They were effortless to communicate with and made us feel right at home. They planned an itinerary based on my detailed requests (snorkeling, turtles and secluded beach, no pigs and no party scene). We had five young children with us and they made sure to have the proper sizes in life vests. While the boat has been around for awhile, it does offer an escape from the heat and sun with air conditioning and seating for at least 6-8 indoors, or seating for 5-8 (including some kids) upstairs under shade. It has a bathroom, too. We felt safe and cared for the entire day and found this rental to be a great value.

We had a spectacular time! The crew was fantastic. We were able to get some fishing in between several reef snorkeling adventures, a trip to see the pigs and we even had time to stop for a great meal at a beachside restaurant.

We asked if Captain Gene could just take us to snorkel spots instead of any island and that's exactly what he did! Beautiful boat, great time.

My family and I had a great time. The captain and his crew were awesome. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They were willing to visit every spot we asked them to. It is an older boat, but it got the job done! I highly recommend that you book.

Destin Crab Island on a Captained 22' Sylvan Mirage X-1 Pontoon Boat

We booked so we could go to Crab Island on a girls trip, it was 5 of us and we are honestly so impressed with the level of hospitality and respect we received from Captain Casey. It was refreshing to have such great conversation and comfortable vibes from a man around 5 women. He spoke to us about his wife and all the cool things he had done in his life and has great taste in music! He made us feel very safe in every aspect and we are all so grateful and elated with our experience. Do not pass up the opportunity to book with them! You truly won’t regret having the nicest time with Captain Casey, he sets the tone for great energy and the best day no matter what!
