About me

Raised in The Bahamas and shaped by years navigating the Caribbean, I bring local knowledge and professional training to every vessel I operate. My career has taken me from the turquoise shallows of the Exumas to the deeper routes connecting Florida, the Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Lesser and Greater Antilles, and on to Colombia and Panama.

Whether I am managing a yacht in Nassau, delivering a vessel across borders, or guiding guests through island-hopping adventures, I approach each job with precision, discretion and a high standard of service. Fluent in multiple languages and deeply familiar with both private and charter operations, I am committed to making every journey safe, smooth and memorable.

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.
