Alex was our captain and was great the entire trip. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and did a nice job pointing out houses, yachts, and different spots along the water without overdoing it.

Parking was a breeze finding basically right across the street from the restaurant and boat plus it was cheap! Wanted to mention a special appreciation to our captain, Captain Royal. She was extremely knowledgeable of the waterways, boats, you name it! She is very down to earth and easy to talk to. We have wonderful conversation and laughs throughout the trip. She was able to answer any and all questions we had. I am only sad that we are not from the area so we could go again! I would definitely recommend and request Captain Royal upon returning for another dinner cruise!

A two story boat the cruses to the Jungle island. Drinks on the boat while you can sit or walk around while enjoying the scenery. Beautiful waterfront homes and yachts big ones little one. While your cruising other people wave to you they have a little bit of music playing. I enjoyed standing in the front it was very enjoyable and just loved the sunset Florida has some of the most beautiful sunsets incredible. We arrived at the island and greeted with friendly people where all the entertainment began. We sat down and ate they brought the food bbq to the table brought is drinks during the dinner they had live music that followed outside fire dancers and hula dancing. Then you were able to walk around the island birds a few animals jungle vibe. Than back on the boat for a ride back. Food was chicken which was tender and tasty. Ribs that feel off the bone with extra bbq sauce. Corn bread coleslaw.

It was called Cruise the Intercoastal and even though the weather wasn't perfect we still had a fantastic time. Captain Dominick picked us up on time and as promised we could bring on our own drinks and snacks.

The two hours was a perfect amount of time and he showed us some beautiful houses as we hung out and spent time together laughing, chatting, and listening to music. I would highly recommend for a more "intimate" experience and I think anyone would enjoy Captain Don as their host.

The first trip we took with Evvie, the owner of the business. Evvie is a very cool guy, low key, and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the Bahamas. He took us to Compass Cay to swim with the nurse sharks, and to Staniel Cay for lunch. The water was the most beautiful we had ever seen, and Evvie took us to some very off the beaten path spots. The second trip we went to Long Island for lunch with Tonio, and then fishing on the way back. Tonio is very personable and also knowledgeable. He filleted our fish for us on the dock and then hooked up us with a local place who BBQd it fresh. The other thing about Island Boy is they do not do open charters, you rent the boat so it's totally private and customized. We had a great time on their charters, highly recommend!

I can certainly say that booking a boat day with Captain Eddie absolutely did the trick and MADE our trip! We originally booked for six hours and had so much fun, we asked to add another hour on. Captain Eddie is easy to work with, very professional, and has tons of great suggestions for things to do while you are in FTL. The pictures of the boat don't do it justice - there is so much room for walking around and tons of seating area, and enough cooler space for any alcohol you need. I will admit, at first I was wary of not going through a typical boat charter company, especially since I was handling other people's money who were paying for our boat day. I did my due diligence and even privately messaged a few of the other ladies who reviewed Hard Charters on here to be sure that they had a fun and safe experience, and the feedback was all immensely positive. This helped me make the decision to book with Captain Eddie and I am SO glad I did! It was the perfect day and exactly what I (and our bride!) had envisioned.

I also want to say that the service and attention to detail that Emma provided was top tier - she was snapping photos the whole time capturing all the moments so we could just have fun, then airdropped them too us at the end. I also was not drinking alcohol, along with a couple of the other girls and she remembered that and when she was offering drinks always offered us a water instead of a can and that made me feel really included and I appreciate that so much.

Was expecting some actual tour info, never visited this area and only new tidbit I learned was in regards to the golden gate. We did sail past a lighthouse but nothing was said about it! The tour guide, Tony was nice enough, but definitely wasn't engaging. Kinda gave the vibes as if our tour was an after thought and honestly didn't want to be there and not familiar with our boat. Tour also started late because we were sent the wrong address. Captain confirmed but wasn't at the confirmed location when we called and we had to drive elsewhere. No signs or flags just "walk to the back of the restaurant". The boat had tiki decor, but could definitely get a facelift. There were bean bags to sit on that have seen better days. Seats in the front would get splashed with water. The floor had wet turf, so be aware of that! Water was offered and stored in a cooler. The cooler also doubled as a seat. Lack of cup holders. Life jackets were dirty! Being that the tour was a sunset one we were anticipating sailing in the dark. Was not expecting to be sailing in pitch black. The only light was from the shore and other boats. Captain couldn't figure how to turn on the string lights. Even when he supposedly called for assist no one knew how to turn it on. We were offered to extend the trip but definitely declined since what would be the point?! We had a good time because of the fun that we brought. Likely wouldn't return with my family.
