Captain Carl is a must do for anyone new to the Bahamas! The boat tour and time spent talking to Carl were the highlight of our trip! Carl is very personable, friendly, prompt, and easy going. We talked about local politics and general Bahamian culture, and I learned a lot from him. Carl's boat that we had to pleasure of... More

This is the second year that we have booked a reef fishing excursion with Captain Carl. Everything about Captain Carl and Bahama Boat Tours is OUTSTANDING! He makes the trip enjoyable! He takes you straight to the fish and the fun begins immediately! The convenience of being picked up right at the dock at the Harborside makes it an added... More

We went on our first trip on a cruise line and really didn't know what we were doing. Just faltering around from here to there. We lucked upon the Bahama Boat Tours. We felt so fortunate to have lucked into the experience with Capt. Carl Blades. He was so friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the area. His boat was... More

We visited Nassau on a cruise and booked a private excursion with Bahama Boat Tours instead of a cruise-ship sponsored excursion. We could not have been more pleased. Carl is very fun and personable, offers many activities including touring and giving history of Nassau Harbor and the Atlantis resort, private beach time, snorkeling, and tubing. It was great to have... More

We had our second excursion with Captain Carl in two years. My teenage son and daughter wanted to go tubing this time. Captain Carl also suggested snorkeling. They were able to fully enjoy both activities. Captain Carl picked us up at the Harbourside dock, it could have not been more convenient. He is always upbeat and friendly. My wife and... More

My son took his second excursion with Captain Carl in Nassau in the Bahamas over Easter Break this year. We had used Bahama Boat tours in December and were more than comfortable sending our teenage son and his friends who were in on a cruise ship excursion with Carl again. They had a fantastic time in a group of 5... More

Captain Carl and his son took us out for a wonderful afternoon of snorkeling and fishing. We could not have asked for a better experience. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and flexible. I would recommend Carl to any of my friends should they go to the Bahamas. The Murphy Family More

Our family had an awesome time with Captain Carl. We were on a cruise and had limited time and the four hour excursion was the perfect way to make the most of our time in Nassau. We enjoyed a harbour tour, snorkeled at 2 sites and enjoyed water skiing and tubing. We were a large family group and Carl was... More

My husband and two teenage sons spent the afternoon with Captain Carl on Monday, April 9, 2012. It was the best part of our trip. He was professional, yet very personable and fun. He was very accommodating since our flight in was delayed a day and we missed our originally scheduled tour with him. He fit us in on Monday,... More

My kids voted this boat tour the highlight of their cruise vacation. Capt. Carl lives up to his reputation as the 'go to guy' for fun. My two young boys wanted to go fishing, so he took us to a wonderful spot on a reef where they had great luck! We had a short tour, fished, went to Rose Island... More
