About Your Trip

Captain Joe charters out of Hawks Nest Resort and Marinas in the Bahamas from April-May.

Hawks Nest Resort and Marina, which offers very nice beachfront cottages, dining facilities, a clubhouse, a freshwater pool, and a modern 28-slip marina facility. Hawk’s Nest Marina is conveniently located on the Southwest corner of Cat Island, approximately 300 miles southeast of Fort Lauderdale and 140 miles southeast of Nassau. The marina facility, which is entered via a natural creek on the island's leeward side, is extremely well protected, experiencing virtually no surge commonly found in other Bahamas.

Cat Island Fishing is all about structure, structure, and more structure! From the marina, the drop-off is 100 yards! Depending on sea conditions and the bite, the lines can literally be dropped once you’ve cleared the entrance to the marina. Prominent “hot spots” such as Tartar Bank, a sea mount rising up from the depths of over 3000ft, to a peak of 80ft, is 4 miles from Hawk’s Nest, and Columbus Point, off the South East corner of Cat Island, is 14 miles.

We invite you to come enjoy our Bahamas charter boats, and have the Cat Island Bahamas Fishing experience of a lifetime!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
