Great boat/snorkeling trip in Nassau!!
Shercohan, 21-09-2022
There were six of us that got off in Nassau from a cruise. We weren’t sure what to expect. Captain Missick picked us up by senor frogs and we had a wonderful day. We couldn’t swim at rose island because of the shark problem, but we did other things. The water was unbelievable and the hike was great. We will definitely be using him again!
Best Day of Cruise

Captain Stafford was the perfect guide. My family of five had an amazing time snorkeling and exploring the islands. He even took photos and video and sent to use after our tour. I highly recommend hiring him for your Bahamas excursion!
Best part of Bahamas vacation!

Captain and Bullet were the highlight of our Bahamas trip!!! They were so much fun, took us to the best places on our boat trip, cranked our favorite music and even brought us some Bahama Mamas to drink! They were the most friendly people we met the whole trip and represented the Bahamas in the very best way. Would recommend them to anyone and would use then again anytime, anywhere!
Great day in the Bahamas!

This was a great tour! We went snorkeling, swimming with turtles and went to a private island. Captain and first mate were super kind and knowledgeable. They made me and my family super comfortable and were great hosts. We were picked up and dropped off right at our hotel (Atlantis). Swimming with turtles were so much fun, great expletive. Rose Island was breathtaking! We were given a walking tour to the other side of the island and it was beautiful. 100% recommend!
Thank you for such a wonderful day.

Amazing Day on Water
Gautam_P, 23-07-2022
Amazing day with a amazing tour guide took my family on a amazing adventure and showed us the the true Bahamas and not the tourist spots. Swam on pearl island and just had a wonderful time and just overall friendly and safe. Spend the money and have a great day on the water with great people to guide you. Swimming with turtles is the bomb.
Best excursion around

Captain Missick was fantastic! So much fun, even though the weather wasn’t the best, he made our trip fun and unique. Don’t bother bringing any drinks or snacks—he has it covered. We were able to see Rose Island from a different perspective than most people. Will definitely be back to hang with him and Bullet again!
Great experience and great service

We took half day cruise with snorkeling offered by Stafford and Bullard.
Right from picking up from our Nassau cruise stop till we came back it was amazing experience for us.
Both Stafford and Bullard were amazing in showing around islands.
Snorkeling experience was great too and number of fishes and reefs we was cool.
I’d definitely recommend everyone.

Cpt. Messily Excursion!

We had any absolutely amazing day with Captain Missek and Bullard! Went with my 3 daughters, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren. The Captain & crew provided personalized attention to assure all of us had a day to remember! We will definitely do it again on a return visit! Highly recommend this excursion for families!!!!
Best day ever! So worth the cost. :)

This was the best excursion that my husband and I have ever done! Stafford and his staff went above and beyond to make our day amazing. Our daughters (10 and 13) have not stopped talking about all they experienced on this excursion.
Cruise friends, don’t wast your money on one of their excursions. Hire Stafford for a private charter. Best money that we have ever spent.

Our favorite day!

Captain Stafford was amazing! I cannot recommend this excursion enough. My husband and our 3 boys (14,10,9) used our cruise port day at Nassau to book a day on 4 Winds Tours. During the booking process, Captain Stafford was very responsive, thorough and followed up a few days prior to confirm. He was right on time to pick us up for our amazing adventure. He knew just when to get ahead of the large boat snorkeling tours so we had a more secluded experience. He took us to islands and areas we never would have seen otherwise. He took pictures of our family for us and sent them after! I also appreciated his great detail to safety. There were beverages for the kids and delicious rum punch for the adults provided. Captain Stafford even took extra time to take us on a short nature hike. He is a local who clearly cares for the beauty of the Bahamas and loves to share it with his clients. BEST DAY OF THE CRUISE!
Best private excursion Nassau
alisa_says, 02-01-2023
If you are figuring out what company to book for an excursion from Nassau, don't look any farther. I told my family that this would be a highlight of our trip. We haven't finished our trip yet but I still think I'm correct! Captains Stafford and Bullet took us on a half day private excursion. We saw turtles, we snorkeled with reef fish, and got to play and explore on 2 islands. They gave us a lot of info about the sights. I'm amazed that they packed so much into a half day. They know all the great places to go and how to get you the best experience. Let Captain Stafford know what you are interested in and he'll put together a plan. His boat is nice , comfortable, and clean and has all the equipment, too. I can't imagine other charters being better than this. Our only regret is not getting a picture with everyone and our Captains!
Amazing experience!
ChristineM816, 25-12-2022
This was a wonderful experience!! Not only snorkeling but a bit of everything. A short nature walk, a few stops at different islands for walking and picking up shells, time in the sun to relax and swim, and a tour of the harbor. This was definitely a highlight of our trip.
Importantly, our captain noticed the weather on our scheduled day would be bad so he suggested a different day and time. Had we kept to our regular schedule we would have been miserable, or the trip would have been canceled. We were very grateful for the advice and flexibility - and good weather! I think a bigger boat would have provided less flexibility.
Well worth the money!

Perfect! We had a wonderful half day tour with a mix of snorkeling, turtle watching, and enjoying a gorgeous beach. Captain Missick was beyond professional with a clean, well maintained boat, great knowledge of the waters, and a rum punch that fit the bill. We would gladly book again the next time we are visiting - we can't recommend Four Winds enough!
4 Winds is 5 Star
Korey_K, 20-01-2023
My family truly enjoyed every minute of this excursion. The guides went out of their way to make this day special for us and we are so grateful for the experience they provided. From learning about Nassau to snorkeling to seeing the sea turtles and spending time on the islands, this excursion checked every box for us. Highly recommend! 4 Winds is 5 star!
Rose Island Half Day
Debmcdan, 13-01-2023
Had a wonderful time cruising with Captain Missick & Bullard! They made our day extra special and even though we didn’t get to swim with the turtles they made sure we saw plenty of them and got lots of opportunities for good pictures. Would do this cruise again if we come back and highly recommend it!
