My family had a fantastic time with Captain Ryan!! We had another charter cancel on us at the last minute. I reached out to him the night before and he responded promptly. He met us the next morning at the agreed time. Our group included folks with different levels of interest in fishing and every single person had a wonderful time on this charter. Of course it helped that the fish were biting. We highly recommend Spanish Wells Fishing Charter!!

Captain Shandy is the Lobster King! We went out reefs and snorkeled for lobster. Afterwards we went reef fishing. We caught a variety of fish. Then when we though were done he took us to the stingrays and the swings while he cleaned everything we caught. It was so much fun!! We would do it all again :)

He a great time with doing a half day with Ryan on our boat. We maxed out on large sized lobsters diving in about 30ft. He also gave great suggestions on where we should go for the rest of our trip. Great guy who knows all the spots.

Best fishing and experience boat day to date! Captain Ryan has decades of experience and it showed! Have been out on two separate occasions and each time was excellent. In April Capt. Ryan took us out for reed fishing and it was a blast! He provided everything needed for a successful catch.
Second time in August, we enjoyed feeding turtles (fresh octopus on skewers provided by Capt. Ryan) and hand feeding sting rays by the swings sandbar.
For those doing it for the first time, Ryan was extremely helpful and patient in teaching how to do the activities, while staying safe and having the best time.
Cannot wait to be back for a boat day with this charter company.

Capt. Ryan was a great host for our half day reef fishing charter. Friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable! Boat and gear was clean and well maintained. Caught plenty of fish and learned plenty. Would recommend Spanish Wells without hesitation.

Just got back after spending Sat on water all day with Capt Ryan and it was simply awesome:)!! My girls agree it was by far our best water excursion ever and they enjoyed feeding turtles and rays and finding starfish plus the swings. We caught numerous fish and he cleaned them for Us to have for dinner that night plus booked lunch at Shipwreck on Spanish Wells which we love and always visit when in the Bahamas…oh my that lobster Mac ! I’d highly recommend booking a water / boating excursion with Capt Ryan if you’re in the area and my family can’t wait to return to his boat next year!

We spent Easter Sunday 2023 with Captain Ryan on his boat. First, that he made the time on a special day like Easter to take our family out for the day was pretty remarkable. Second, he checked all the boxes for the adventures we hoped to have in a day's trip. Not to mention, that he secured lunch reservations for us on short notice and it was fabulous! The entire day was filled with "oooooohhhh's"and "aaaaahhhh's "and "can you believe we are doing/seeing this?". We will forever be grateful for the amazing day that Captain Ryan orchestrated for us.

Outstanding family excursion that was made possible by Shaw Underwood. He took us fishing. To the famous Instagram swings and gave us instructions on how to deal with the Stingrays. He is knowledgeable about the area and took us to Harbour Island for lunch and an afternoon on the beautiful beaches. We wholeheartedly recommend Shaw and look forward to our next visit.

We had the best day on the water!
Captain Ryan, Captain Keegan and Winston are the best! We had two boats with fourteen guests from 6 years old to 60. Everyone had an amazing experience.

Captain Ryan is the best fisherman in Bahamas. We always have a great time with him. We always end up with some added site on the trip.

I do want to add that pigs can be aggressive but Captain Ryan was SUPER watchful and made sure to tell my daughters where to be when they were around them. My daughters (early 20s) LOVED the experience... Sort of a cool bucket list experience!

What is the cost for a full day excursion to fish and swim, etc.? Thanks

We paid $500 for 1/2 day, and never felt rushed, it was an extended 1/2 day. 4 adults and 2 kids (9 & 7), we all thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend Capt Ryan, heard same from other locals on Eleuthera and Spanish Wells. Email him for full day cost.
