Fluent in multiple languages and deeply familiar with both private and charter operations, I’m committed to making every journey safe, smooth, and memorable.

The Clicqout Yacht was incredible! Captain Brandon and his crew made us feel right at home and were always making sure we were having the best experience. The boat was incredibly well kept and clean too! From the beaches we visited, to swimming with turtles, and the delicious food on board, you definitely get an authentic Bahamian experience. There were a variety of options to choose from for the day's itinerary, which made it great for my group. 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've experienced. I am thankful for the great memories made on our trip and can't wait to see Clicqout and crew again on our next trip! Thanks again Brandon and Crew!

I recently went on an amazing excursion in the Bahamas and it was truly unforgettable! 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. Brandon’s knowledge of the area and his friendly demeanor made us feel safe and well taken care of. Highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking to experience the best of the Bahamas. Thanks, Captain Brandon and Captains Marine, for a fantastic day and unforgettable day!
