We had such a wonderful day out with Captain Jason. We were travelling as a family with children, including babies, and everything was handled so well from start to finish. Communication throughout was excellent, and the price was very reasonable for the experience we had. We visited Rose Island and Athol Island to see the swimming pigs, which was such a highlight for the kids. Jason was friendly, funny, and incredibly helpful. He made a real effort to help us safely get in and out of the boat with the children, always making sure everyone was comfortable and secure. During the boat ride, he also shared lots of interesting information about the local culture and surroundings, which made the trip even more special. What we really loved was that we were able to go at our own pace and never felt rushed at any point, which made it ideal when travelling with babies and toddlers. I would definitely recommend Captain Jason, especially for families travelling with young children. It was a fantastic day and one of the highlights of our trip.
An honor and indeed esteemed privilege.
I had a really great time on YOLO boat. The car was well experienced, friendly, very informative and patient. You can just tell the this is his passion and not just for the pay. I was greeted with the red carpet and a little bubbly lol. I enjoyed my boat ride from the beginning to the end! We toured just about all the surrounding islands (Rose island, Anthol island) just to name a few. He even let me "drive the boat" for a few minutes (was very exhausting) I applaud Caption for being very attentive while riding the rough waves! He made sure safety was first! This will not be my last on YOLO. Thanks captain for making my experience a good one!
An honor and esteemed privilege
Our boat trip with Captain Jason was fabulous. He took us on a tour of Nassau and educated us the history of the Harbor and we got to view the homes of many celebrities. Jason also had a wonderful sense of humor, quickly got to know every one of his passengers and made each one of us feel welcome. We had a 2-year old on board and Jason had the perfect life preserver for him. The snorkeling was exceptional. We got to snorkle at two different reefs and saw fish of every color. On the way home, we even got to view the pigs on the beaches. We highly recommend going on this boat trip with Captain Jason.
An honor and indeed an esteemed privilege...Safe travels
Jason led us on a wonderful morning excursion, offering great local insights and excellent service. He made sure the whole family felt comfortable and safe, whether we were jet skiing or feeding the pigs. For a high-quality experience that’s worth the investment, Jason is your go-to guide
An honor and indeed esteemed privilege

Hi, my name is Dominico Vandyke Boyd, a 51-year-old Bahamian and a 24-year veteran police officer, currently holding the rank of Inspector. Throughout my service, I have been honored with the Long Service & Good Conduct Medal and the Meritorious Police Medal. Since 2002, I have been stationed across the Northern Bahamas, including Abaco, Grand Bahama, and currently Nassau, New Providence. My long service in these regions has strengthened my deep passion for the surrounding Bahamian waters and maritime environment. To further pursue this passion, I obtained my B Class and A Class Master Captain's License (300 tons) along with all required maritime certifications. During my policing career, I received specialized training from the United States Coast Guard, earning six pins in marine operations, hull, outboards, and operational courses. I also trained with the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and served in the Marine Support Division of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, and I am a certified Open Water Diver (Level II). Before and alongside my law enforcement career, I developed a strong foundation in tourism and hospitality. I studied at the Bahamas Hotel Training College (now part of the University of The Bahamas), where I earned an Associate Degree in Hospitality Management (Honors), along with a Certificate in General Catering Skills and the Bahama Host certification from the Ministry of Tourism. I have also been appointed as a Justice of the Peace, further reflecting my commitment to service and integrity. My current vessel is a 2025 refurbished 2006 22ft Angler 204 Series, a 12-passenger fiberglass hull boat, powered by a reliable and fuel-efficient Yamaha 4-stroke outboard engine.
