   During my 13 years of visiting Nassau, Bahamas, I have had the pleasure of making my 29th trip to the area. To diversify our activities, I took my friends off the resort premises to engage in snorkeling and swimming with the pigs, a venture I hadn't pursued in quite some time. Upon arriving at the designated pick-up location, Captain Ednie promptly received us and led us to what is arguably one of the most comfortable boats in Nassau, a 35' vessel more than ideally suited for our group of four. With my friends expressing a keen interest in snorkeling and swimming with sea turtles, Captain Ednie swiftly accommodated our request. Additionally, we expressed our desire to visit other snorkeling sites, and our exploration commenced. Our subsequent encounter with sea turtles was equally captivating as we swam alongside these magnificent creatures. Following this, we ventured to a reef, where we marveled at the diverse marine life and vibrant corals. Our itinerary also included a visit to the famous swimming pigs. We later patronized an exceptional bar/restaurant where we enjoyed a satisfying lunch and leisurely swimming. Captain Ednie expertly guided us to all the notable locations, culminating our day with a visit to the Fish Fry, which he facilitated without hesitation. I commend Captain Ednie for his exceptional service and look forward to our next encounter.

   Ednie is a very experienced, knowledgeable captain your family will feel safe heading into the wild blue sea, whether it’s your first time or you’re an avid boater. The boat is very comfortable and well appointed. He tailors your day to suit your family by communicating well in advance of your trip to best plan your day. In fact, it’s one of the reason we selected him…most other captains on this site that I contacted, with one other exception, simply sent a canned response. Ednie reached out directly and quickly with messages letting me know he’d clearly read my inquiry and was thinking about my family’s particular situation. So I had two boys with me, small party of three, and all they wanted to do was fish. And all we did WAS fish! Ednie knew great spots for us to start, had plenty of bait, knew how to entice with which bait, plenty of gear in good condition. The boat is comfortably appointed for sitting in sun or shade. Bring your phone and hookup to his Bluetooth speaker system (also very good) for tunes all day. He gave the boys good tips on how to improve their technique since they were unaccustomed to fishing in these conditions, and both heeded his advice and caught well! Ednie knew just when to try a new spot and had no problem accommodating. He also pointed out lots of interesting bits of info about the area while we were moving about. Pickup and drop off were well coordinated and easy. The entire trip was an overwhelming success. I would recommend Ednie to anyone with a group under 10 so you have room to mill about and be in and out of the sun.

   Our boat riding experience in the Bahamas with Captain Ednie was absolutely magical! From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Ednie went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort. His warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, and we knew we were in for a fantastic day. Captain Ednie took us on an incredible journey, starting with the once-in-a-lifetime experience of swimming with the pigs. It was so much fun interacting with these adorable creatures and we even got a chance to feed them! Next, we explored the breathtaking Rose Island, where the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters left us in awe. The adventure didn't stop there; we also visited a floating bar that was such a unique and enjoyable experience. One of the highlights of our trip was the tour around downtown Nassau. Captain Ednie showed us the impressive cruise ships and the iconic Atlantis resort. His knowledge and passion for the area made the tour both informative and entertaining. We were having such a great time that we decided to extend our trip by two more hours – we simply didn't want the day to end! Throughout the trip, Captain Ednie made sure we were well taken care of with a selection of drinks, including water, juice, and delightful rum cocktails. His attention to detail and dedication to our enjoyment truly made the day special. If you're planning a trip to the Bahamas, I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Captain Ednie. He made our experience unforgettable, and we can't wait to return and explore more with him. Thank you, Captain Ednie, for an incredible adventure – we'll cherish these memories forever!

   We had a great day on the water with Ednie. Took us to a great snorkeling spot. Took us to swim with the pigs. Braved the rough seas and got us to a beautiful sandy beach where we were the only 7 people around. Took us to the ‘Hideout’ which is a floating bar and grill where the burgers were delicious. Had a bit more time so he took us through the Atlantis marina to look at some luxury yachts. Great experience.

   Ednie was very communicative. He patiently and quickly answered all of our questions. The listing says a Captain isn’t included, but Ednie does come as the caption of the boat at no extra charge. Due to a miscommunication at the beginning, he offered us (my boyfriend and I) a great deal for an eight-hour day. From talking to other boat rentals, I know this was the best deal we could get (next cheapest I found was $852/eight hours). However, I’m not sure if this deal will be offered to all guests. Ednie was flexible and asked where/what we wanted to do. We had plenty of time to do everything so if you do an eight-hour day, don’t feel like you need to be rushed. We enjoyed snorkeling with the fish, swimming in the clear waters, fishing (we did catch some), and exploring the surrounding areas. The boat was a bit older looking than I thought it would be. However, it worked 100% well, and we had no issues with it. We had our own snorkel masks, and Ednie had some extra fins for us to use (they were pretty big, but they worked so if you have small feet, they probably won’t work for you) which was greatly appreciated. He provided sandwiches, chips, water, soda, juice, and Gatorade. We also brought a good amount of our own food. All in all, we had a 5/5 day. :)
