The islands, on your terms
At Captain’s Marine we specialise in private boat charters in Nassau, offering fully customised experiences designed around you. Whether you are planning a relaxed day on the water or a luxury yacht charter through the islands, our fleet and crew deliver a seamless experience from start to finish.
Our boats give you access to hidden beaches, shallow coves and exclusive spots that larger tours simply cannot reach. Whether you are visiting for a day or planning a multi-day experience, we make exploring The Bahamas private, effortless and unforgettable.
Charters are designed for flexibility, letting you combine several experiences in one day — snorkelling in Nassau, island hopping, and a secluded beach stop, with a dedicated captain and a fully customised itinerary.

What our guests say
Captain Brandon and his crew made us feel right at home and were always making sure we were having the best experience. From the beaches we visited, to swimming with turtles, and the delicious food on board, you definitely get an authentic Bahamian experience. It felt like a customized experience where we were truly able to enjoy each stop without being forced to boat to a new destination every 30 minutes like on other charters I have experienced.
Highly recommend! The boat and excursion were amazing and had everything we needed for a day of ocean fun. But the crew was the highlight: they were kind, attentive, and excellent hosts, with a lunch that exceeded expectations and then served a fresh guava duff at sunset. 10/10
Captain Brandon was exceptional; his expertise and passion for the local waters made the trip even more enjoyable. From snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to exploring hidden coves, every moment was a delight. His knowledge of the area and his friendly demeanor made us feel safe and well taken care of.
My friends and I had such a fun time! Brandon is an excellent captain. He is friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about the waters which made for an even better trip on that beautiful boat. 10/10 and cannot wait to hop on and be captained by Brandon again.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a charter cost?
We price each charter once we know the date, the party size and where you want to go — the boat, the distance and the season all move the number, and quoting before we know them would be a guess. Send the enquiry form and we come back with an all-in price, itemised, taxes and permits included. A 50% deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due at the end of the charter.
What is included?
The boat is yours for the day, fully crewed, with a licensed Bahamian captain aboard. What else comes with her differs from boat to boat and is listed under Highlights on each boat’s page. We confirm in writing with your quote exactly what is aboard — food and drink, snorkelling gear, a tender, water toys — so there is nothing to find out on the dock.
How many guests can come?
Up to 14 on every boat in the fleet.
Where can we go?
The boats run Rose Island, The Exumas, Briland (Harbour Island) and North Andros out of Nassau. Each boat’s page lists the days she runs and what you see on each. The Abacos work differently — they are too far for a day out of Nassau, so you fly up and we put you on a boat there.
Can you tell me now whether a boat is free?
Not from this site, and that is deliberate. There is no live calendar here, because a calendar that says available when the boat is already booked costs you the day and the operator your trust. We check your date with the boat’s operator and come back to you, usually the same day.
What happens if the weather turns?
We watch the forecast, we will tell you early if the day does not look workable, and we will always try to move you to another date first. If rescheduling is not possible the deposit is refunded in full. Weather cancellations are fully refunded.
What if we need to cancel?
Ten days or more before the charter, a full refund. Five to nine days, 50%. Under five days, or a no-show, the charter is charged in full. The date your notice reaches us in writing or by telephone is the date that counts. Full terms are on the terms page.
Who owns the boats?
Other people, and we say so. Captain’s Marine is a Bahamian charter concierge in Nassau: the boats are owned and run by Bahamian operators we know, whose boats we have been aboard. We write the listing, coordinate the day and take a commission from the operator for bringing you. The boats on this site are the ones we run today — not every boat we charter.
Is the captain licensed?
Yes. Bahamian law requires a licensed captain aboard a charter, and every charter we book has one.
How do we pay?
By card, on our payment provider’s own hosted checkout — never on this site, and never by email or WhatsApp. We will never ask you for card details in a message. If someone does, it is not us.
Can you arrange flights as well?
Yes — seaplanes and private jets, to any island in The Bahamas, either to bring you down to meet the boat or to fly a leg within the day. We arrange them; the aircraft are flown by other operators, not by us. The price is confirmed after your enquiry.
