About the Captains

Family-run, Governor’s Harbour

Captain Paul Petty and his son Captain Richy have fished and explored Eleuthera waters their entire lives. They run a family operation built on local knowledge, professional service, and a genuine love for putting people on fish and unforgettable island days. Sight-casting bonefish on the flats, dropping baits on the reef, trolling the offshore drop, or running to the swimming pigs — the Pettys know where to go and when to be there.

Good to Know

Straight answers before you book

Do I need a fishing license?

Visitors fishing aboard a licensed Bahamian charter are covered by the operator’s permit — no personal license needed. Confirm with the captain when you book.

Can I keep what I catch?

Reef and offshore fish, yes — within Bahamian vessel limits. Bonefish and permit are catch-and-release; the flats fishery depends on it. Billfish must be released outside sanctioned tournaments.

What if the weather turns?

The captain makes the call — safety first, always. Trips are typically rescheduled when conditions blow out.

Is this good for kids and beginners?

Bottom fishing and island tours are perfect for families and first-timers. Bonefishing rewards patience — tell the captain your experience level and he'll set the day up right.

How do I pay?

Arranged directly with the captain when you book. Message on WhatsApp to confirm pricing, deposit, and payment method.

How far in advance should I book?

The sooner the better in high season. WhatsApp is the fastest way to check open dates.
