Bahamas Reef Fishing Charter - Half & Full Day | 700 Islands Adventure Tours

Fish Bahamas's Secret Reefs Where the Locals Drop Their Lines

No experience? No problem. All gear provided. Keep your catch. Real fishing with Captain Major, not a tourist trap with toy rods.

While cruise ships sell 'fishing excursions' with 20 people fighting over 5 rods, Captain Major takes you where Bahamas locals have been catching dinner for generations. This is real fishing, real reefs, real results.

Forget everything you think you know about vacation fishing. This isn't a photo op with guaranteed tiny fish. This is proper reef fishing on the Bahamas's most productive spots, where grouper, snapper, and jacks actually live. First-timers welcome. Seasoned anglers were impressed.

The Local Advantage: Captain Major doesn't just know where fish might be; he knows where they are. Tides, temperatures, seasons, moon phases, every factor that turns "going fishing" into "catching fish." Choose group fun or private focus. Half-day satisfaction or full-day obsession.

Your Fishing Adventure Includes:

• All rods, reels, and tackle provided
• Bait that actually works (not tourist leftovers)
• Expert instruction for beginners
• Advanced techniques for experienced anglers
• Keep your catch or practice catch-and-release
• Stories and strategies from a lifetime on these waters

The Cruise Ship "Fishing" Scam

They pack 30 people on a party boat. Hand out garage-sale rods. Drop anchor at the same overfished spot every tourist boat uses. You might catch a grunt. You'll definitely catch frustration. And they'll charge you premium prices for the disappointment.

What Most Charters Won't Admit:

• Tourist spots are fished out daily
• Cheap gear means lost fish and tangles
• Overcrowded boats = crossed lines and chaos
• "Guaranteed catch" means tiny bait-stealers
• You're fishing where thousands fished yesterday

The Fishing Dream vs. Reality: You imagined fighting a monster grouper, a fresh fish dinner, proud photos, and stories for years. You got tangled lines with strangers, tiny fish (maybe), wasted money, and wasted time.

Why Most Vacation Fishing Fails: Wrong spots. Wrong times. Wrong techniques. Wrong equipment. Too many people. Too little knowledge. You don't need more luck; you need a captain who actually fishes these waters for food, not just tourist dollars.

Fish Like a Bahamas Native:

This isn't a floating party with fishing props. This is how locals fill their freezers. Captain Major doesn't take you to tourist spots, he takes you to HIS spots. The ones his father showed him. The ones that consistently produce.
