we were a family trip of five—and none of the group outings seemed wuite tight gor our age mix **hidden content** and 49).  we had a great three hour private wxcision with captain Brody. saw pigs (loved this), snorkeling with fish and turtles.  This was a great trip—perfect for suiting all ages and desires. definitely recommend!

We booked this based on other positive reviews and I’m so glad we did! For a family of 6 ranging from 5 to 75, everything was smooth! The pickup was right by the cruise port. We weren’t sure about seeing the pigs based on others’ reviews about it being a tourist trap but the kids said to go for it. We told the captain that and he made sure we were the first ones there and we had the whole experience to ourselves until a large tour came as we were leaving!  it was awesome! we saw so many fish while snorkeling, saw turtles and we went to a secluded beach to swim and play in the sand! it was so nice to escape the crowds from the ship and port! price was so reasonable compared to ship excursions too!

Met our Captain Bodie and first mate Jernae after about a 5-10 min walk after getting off the cruise ship.  Boat was beautiful.  15-20 min cruise out of the port to swim with the pigs.  What an absolute blast.  A must do.  Then another 5-10 min boat ride to a great snorkeling spot. Saw many beautiful fish even two sea turtles. Great we only had a group of nine of us after seeing many other much larger groups.  Then another 10 min ride to our own beautiful private beach.  Hug out for a bit in the crystal clear water with amazing white sand. Then we took a leisurely 30 min cruise back to the port. We had an absolute blast. Capt Bodie was great captain and extremely safe.  Also very informative along our route. Jernae was super helpful and a pleasure to have on the boat. We will be back in June.

This charter trip was easily one of the highlights of our entire Bahamas vacation, and Captain Bodie deserves all the credit. As the sole crew member, he handled everything flawlessly and made the entire day feel effortless, fun, and relaxed.

From the start, Bodie was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. He made us feel comfortable and taken care of while keeping the vibe easygoing and enjoyable. Swimming with the pigs was such a unique and unforgettable experience.

The snorkeling was just as impressive. The water was crystal clear, the reefs were beautiful, and Bodie made sure everyone felt confident and safe in the water. His local knowledge really showed in the spots he chose.

What truly stood out was how smoothly Bodie managed everything on his own while still giving us a personal, top-notch experience. It never felt rushed or chaotic — just an amazing day in paradise.

If you’re booking a charter in the Bahamas, do not hesitate. This experience was absolutely worth it, and Captain Bodie made it exceptional. Highly recommend.

Booked a 4hour trip to get in some snorkeling and private beach time. Simply amazing. It was a calm day, missed the earlier storm. Water was the most clear turquoise I e ever seen and I live in SW Florida. Capt Chris was all around wonderful and professional. He listened to what we wanted to do for a customized trip and ensured we got in great snorkeling and lots of time with sea turtles. He was fun, engaging, gave us tips for future experiences next time. We felt completely safe on his boat and will definitely do it again and will ask for him. Thank you Northern Shore Tours. Appreciate have responsive you were on the app and for having Captains like Chris on your team!!!
