What an amazing VIP fishing and snorkeling experience! A huge shoutout to Captain Ednie for his professionalism and flexibility. We customized our trip to include both fishing and snorkeling, and he made sure to accommodate all our requests. We even had the chance to tour the area where the luxury yachts are docked. We played music, danced on the boat, and had a blast. Water is provided, but be sure to bring your own drinks and snacks for maximum comfort. You can easily pick up anything you need before boarding. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Our main goal was simply to catch fish, no matter the size or species, and Captain Ednie delivered! We caught a variety of fish, including a shark, trigger fish, multiple strawberry grouper, grunts, big-eyed snapper, and porgee—enough to fill a 5-gallon bucket. If you're looking to catch fish in a short time, he will definitely find them. He takes pride in never having a "skunk" day, and he sure delivers on that promise. The boat is perfect for four anglers, and Captain Ednie goes above and beyond—he’ll even bait your hooks for you! Plus, he makes an incredible rum punch.

We kicked off our trip at 9am and had an amazing time! We ended up catching over 20 fish, all different species. Captain Ednie kept us busy from the start. We began in 60ft of water, catching about 6 fish by 10am, and then moved into shallower waters around 40ft, where the action really picked up. As the last hour of the trip approached, a storm rolled in, but Captain Ednie quickly took us to a safe cove to wait it out. He kept us safe and we still had a blast. Definitely an unforgettable experience!
