Discover the Best Boat Tours in Eleuthera, Bahamas

Boat Charters & Excursions in Harbour Island, Eleuthera and Spanish Wells

At Captain Kid & Son Charters, we are tour guides passionate about showcasing the natural wonders of our home. We offer sightseeing excursions that allow you to immerse yourself in the environment, interact with local wildlife, and witness landscapes that look like they were plucked straight from a postcard. These trips are perfect for those who want to relax, swim, and soak up the sun while exploring unique island attractions.

Island Hopping Boat Tours

Island hopping is one of the most exciting ways to explore the Bahamas. With so many unique islands and cays scattered across the sea, no two stops ever feel the same. Our island hopping boat tours allow you to visit multiple destinations in a single trip, each offering its own scenery, atmosphere, and charm. Along the way, your captain will share local knowledge, point out notable landmarks, and help you experience the islands like a true local (like giving you inside tips on the best places for beach BBQs and ocean swings).

Snorkeling & Marine Life Excursions

The waters of the Bahamas are famous for their clarity and biodiversity, making them a paradise for snorkeling and marine exploration. If you’re interested, our Spanish Wells, Harbour Island, and Eleuthera boat tours can include snorkeling, which will give you the chance to dive into warm, shallow waters and discover the underwater world that makes this region so special. See everything from stingrays to sea turtles.

These tours are perfect for both beginners and experienced snorkelers, as locations are selected based on water conditions and guest comfort.

Private Boat Tours & Swimming With the Pigs

One of the most requested and iconic experiences in the Bahamas is visiting the famous swimming pigs. When you book a boat excursion with us, we take you up close and personal with these friendly porcines. As our boat approaches the sandy beach, you will see the pigs paddling out into the surf to greet you, snouts high in the air, anticipating a treat.

This is a surreal and delightful experience that appeals to travelers of all ages. You can jump into the crystal-clear water and swim alongside them, feed them approved snacks, and take photos that are guaranteed to be the highlight of your social media feed.

Our captains ensure that the interaction is safe and respectful for both the guests and the animals, providing you with tips on how to handle the pigs and sharing the local lore of how they ended up on this uninhabited island in the first place.

Our World-Class Boating Charters With Fishing

Anglers from every corner of the globe travel to the Bahamas to test their skills against some of the ocean’s most powerful predators. And we’re proud to offer exceptional fishing charters. Whether you are a seasoned pro looking to land a wahoo or a novice holding a rod for the first time, our crew ensures a professional and exciting experience.

The Benefits of Eleuthera, Spanish Wells, & Harbour Island Boat Excursions

While the resorts and beaches of the Bahamas are undeniably beautiful, they only offer a glimpse of what this archipelago has to offer. A boat tour opens the door to authentic island experiences that can’t be reached unless you leave the shore behind.

Guided boat tours, in particular, provide insight you won’t find on your own. With a knowledgeable local captain, you’ll learn about the area’s history, marine ecosystems, and hidden gems — all while enjoying a smooth, scenic ride across some of the clearest waters in the world.

Some of the other benefits of choosing Harbour Island, Eleuthera, and Spanish Wells boat tours include:

• Access to secluded islands, sandbars, and beaches

• Opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and marine life encounters

• Personalized experiences tailored to your group’s interests

• Unmatched coastal views and photo opportunities

• A relaxed yet adventurous way to explore multiple destinations in one day

For travelers who want more than a typical beach day, a boat tour delivers adventure and memories that last long after the trip ends.

Why We Have the Best Boat Charters in the Bahamas

Captain Jody Pinder, known to many as Captain Kid, comes from a family that has lived on the island of Spanish Wells for generations, and his son, Kayston, grew up spending his summers fishing, snorkeling, and turtle hunting in these waters. For our family, navigating these seas is second nature, and we have a genuine passion for sharing its hidden gems with everyone who visits.

Both Captain Kid and Captain Kayston are fully STCW 95 certified and locally licensed captains, ensuring the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and seamanship. Our local knowledge allows us to adjust routes, choose the best spots, and ensure your day unfolds smoothly — all while sharing stories and insights that bring the Bahamas to life in a meaningful way.
