Island Time Charters, Nassau

Captain Brent was absolutely amazing. This was by far the best thing we did while in the Bahamas. He showed us some sights and took us to two amazing spots to snorkel. We saw amazing colorful fish and reefs of all sizes. He ensured everyone in our group was safe, comfortable and stayed together while in open waters. When we were doing the fishing portion he knew right where to take us to get fish. We heard stories from other guests who spent hours out on charters trying to fish and caught nothing. Captain Brent was extremely knowledgeable and funny, the conversations were great and he felt more like a friend then a tour guide. We will definitely be doing this excursion again.

Personalized and professional and customized service, privacy, excellent boat, snacks, great caption and guide in Brent (both personable and empathetic), and an excellent overall value! I have been on many cruises and many shore excursions and this time I was looking for something different, something more personable, so I booked with Island Time and I not only discovered a different way to spend a day, but uncovered the best way to spend a day at Nassau! For the security deposit, encrypted email was the only secure method available. As a small business, I can understand why Island Time chooses to invest in the boats, equipment, and personnel instead of fancy websites with online payment options, so I recommend they begin to accept deposits via Paypal - this would have eased my concerns... as I didn't really know if the boat would be waiting for me at the docks near Senior Frog until I actually we actually got there. For the trip, I had my mother-in-law who "definitely wasn't snorkeling but would join just for the boat ride" and 2 boys (9 and 11) who would experience snorkeling for the first time. Brent was thoughtful and took us to a perfect acclamation location which allowed everyone to give it a go and it was so comfortable and safe, that even my mother-in-law gave it a try too and ended up loving it (as I had hoped). We then visited a beautiful location on the south-west part of Rose Island which had a private-like (only 1 other private boat) and a perfect snorkeling reef. We saw a variety of colorful fish, a stingray, and sea turtle. Quite memorable. At the end, Brent allowed us to get a little wild and jump from the canopy (about 8ft up) into the water. Drinks (sodas, water) on ice kept up cool on the return trip and we were able to see few homes of the stars (Ye, Oprah) as well as the island at the opening of Gilligan's Island. I'm thankful to Captain Eugene and Brent for making it a day we'll never forget. If I ever cruise to Nassau again, I'll definitely be back!
