Your captain

Roshad Mackey, Captain Twister

Roshad is Bahamian and has more than seven years on boats. Most guests know him as Captain Twister. He knows the reefs and the cays and the best times to reach them, and he shapes each day around the group on board.

In their reviews, guests mention his patience with kids, the music and the rum punch, and how hard he and his crew work to find them turtles and fish. Some have booked him two years in a row.

The boat

Meet The Twister

The Twister is a 30-foot charter boat with room for 10 guests plus the captain. There is seating for everyone aboard, a life vest for each guest and snorkel gear for the reef stops. She sits low to the water, and guests say she cuts through the chop. Look for the blue boat at the dock.

Just your group on board

You book the whole boat, so nobody else comes aboard and nobody waits for strangers. Guests often compare it with the crowded boats they pass on the water.

Bring your playlist and your own drinks and snacks. The captain sets the pace: longer at a reef that is good that day, or more time on the beach if that is what your group wants.

Captain Twister and first mate Ray played great music and went out of their way to find us the sea life.

Celebrity homes, sea turtles, the swimming pigs and a private beach, then lunch at a floating restaurant, with our own music playing.
