About Your Trip

Explore the gin clear Caribean waters around Spanish Wells to fish for delicious reef fish species like Strawberry Grouper, Yellow Tail and Mangrove Snapper, and Trigger Fish!

Feel free to bring your bathing suite as well, Captain Shawn can bring his snorkel gear for you to use if you'd like to explore the reef yourself or simply explore the surf after you're done fishing. The world is truly your oyster aboard Captain Shawns 25' Pursuit.

He will provide all the fishing gear for you including rods, reels, tackle, and artificial baits. Some of Shawn's clients prefer to use live bait, which he will gladly purchase for you ahead of time. For these reef trips, live bait can be an adittional cost so please bring cash along with you if you'd like to purchase some!

Captain Shawn will gladly pick you up from anywhere on Spanish Wells and will pick up in Eleuthera as well, but if you are staying in Harbour Island, he asks that you please ferry back over to Eleuthera where he can pick you up from the dock! The ferry ride is super easy, but there is a 100$ fee if you want Shawn to pick you up himself from Harbor Island.

This was truly one of the best charter experiences I've had in over 15 years of sportfishing. Since there is no land access to Spanish Wells, Shawn picked us up from the ferry port on the main island of N. Eleuthera. Capt. Shawn's boat is nothing short of a Rolls Royce on water. Shawn is the perfect guide. Quiet when you want him to be, but willing to share his decades of experience fishing in Spanish Wells when needed. We did an extended half day trip which got us to waters around 75 feet deep. The water is so clear here, you could see straight down to the bottom. We wore out some strawberry grouper, porgy, yellowtail snapper, and trigger fish all day. The highlight of the trip was when a pack of amberjack came right up under the boat. I grabbed the heaviest rod Shawn had and hooked a small porgy through the spine and dropped it down about 15 feet. This massive amberjack was toying with my bait for a few minutes right under my nose. Incredible adrenaline rush! He finally took it and instantly ripped out a couple hundred yards of line, reel absolutely screaming! Mr. Jack wore me out after about 15 minutes, and I passed the rod over to my buddy. We got him up to the boat but he was way too big for the net and he flopped out right on the gunwale. Didn't get a picture with him, but it was truly the fight of a lifetime. Another highlight of the trip, instead of taking us straight back to the marina to clean the fish, Shawn popped over to a huge shipwreck where we got out and snorkeled for a while. Then, he took us over to one of the dozens of gorgeous empty beaches that dot the area, dropped anchor, and cleaned the fish while we enjoyed the views, explored the beach, and threw a few back. Shawn was born and raised here, so you'd be hard pressed to find a fishing guide in Spanish Wells with more local knowledge. Everything about this trip was perfect, I would recommend it to any angler of any skill level.
