The Best Way to Spend a Morning in the Bahamas! - We had such a great time on our half-day boat tour! Winston, Vado and Joey were absolutely fantastic — super friendly, welcoming, and full of good energy. They made sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and having fun the whole time.
The boat was clean and well-kept, and the spots we visited were stunning — crystal-clear water, beautiful beaches, and plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and feed the pigs (and piglets). You can really tell these guys love what they do and take pride in sharing their island with visitors. They even helped the kids collect coconuts and crack them open for lunch!

Best Boat Tour - My bride and I took three different snorkel/boat trips. This one with @BornFreeCharters was absolutely, hands-down the best. Best snorkeling. Best lunch! The pigs were so amazing to see. The crew was professional, fun, and amazing. Capt Sid, Deron and Wilson were the BEST! Highly recommend. These guys are top notch…you won’t find a better experience.

ABSOLUTELY UNFORGETTABLE - AJ, Chris and the Captain made this excursion the most memorable and informational one I’ve ever taken. They engaged with crowd, taught us so many things about the Bahamas and were very hospitable . Gabe is unlimited snacks
And drinks and we’re very attentive. Highly recommend you do this excursion! The snorkeling in deep sea is unforgettable! Piggies at the beach was so amazing. The sea turtles were huge and so cute !
Bahamas is a gorgeous island you get to tour on a speedboat with great staff. Thank you Aj & Chris!

Out of this world - Emma, fox and henny (captain) very funny , remembers everyone’s names from the very beginning. U need it u got it, no attitude. Catering to everyone makes sure people conquer their fears, patient, understanding. Words alone can’t explain how satisfied and grateful I am for the three beautiful souls.
