Paul Tilmeldt i January 2021

Loved doing a tour of Bahamian hot spots with Paul and Mouse. We had a great day with them! Would definitely book again. The rum punch was great as was the music. It was a great day away from the cruise ship. They took us to a fun lunch spot with fabulous banana daiquiris and good food. They were so good with our kids (ages 12, 15 and 17).

We love Uncle Paul and Ali!! We traveled as 3 couples and had the most amazing time. Snorkeling, turtles, and spending an amazingly fun time on Rose Island. I personally had been before but this experience with Uncle Paul was the most memorable. We all truly truly enjoyed our time with him and Ali and his secret hidden gems he showed us. They both felt like part of the group which made it even more fun! Would recomment everytime!

Captain Paul and crew were so easy to work with and gave us a fantastic tour. We saw such pretty islands, snorkeled with sea turtles and visited a beautiful island where our family had the whole beach to ourselves. He then dropped us at a restaurant dock that he recommended and had a great dinner Highly recommend!

It was a beautiful day in July to spend time with family and friends. 12 of us planned a day trip with Captain Paul to Rose Island. We were all amazed by the beauty of the water, which changed colors every few miles. Paul and his crew were very knowledgeable about the different landmarks we passed during the trip to the island. Once arrived at the island, the crew anchored the boat and we all plunged into crystal clear waters, eager to run up and down the sandy beach. The guys threw a football back and forth on the beach while the girls sat and chat in shallow waters near by. It was an amazing trip I’ll always remember and I’ll definitely do it again when I return to The Bahamas!

Our cousins day away with Captain Paul Rahming was amazing. Paul was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the excursion. It’s a must we do it again.

Great experience with Captain Paul. He took us snorkeling with the fish at Pearl Island, snorkeling with sea turtles north of Rose Island, and then for a beach break on Rose island. He also provided snorkel equipment for the group. On the boat rides he talked about the history behind some of the island sights we passed and told us about the homes along the way. We came to the island on a cruise ship. This tour was better than any of the excursions offered on board our cruise and at a better price point. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience.

Our cruise itinerary changed due to weather and we ended up on this boat. My son has Down syndrome and has difficulty with steps. Getting into the boat was scary for him; getting out worse. Captain Paul was a kind, patient problem solver. The men on our tour all stayed around to help my guy get out of the boat. It was certainly a great experience for my son, who felt like he had ten new best buddies that day. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Hands down Captain Paul was able to provide the best experience on an excursion we have had! Nothing disappointing at all! Bahamas was amazing, great snorkeling, private island was gorgeous. Captain Paul was knowledgeably and made us laugh all day long. If you want an experience away from crowds book your with Captain Paul. Looking forward to going back and fishing!

It’s easy to understand why all of these reviews are 5 Stars. Captain Paul and his mate that day, Billy, were wonderful. From start to finish. Extremely good captain with tremendous local knowledge and an equally great personality. Took us to all the great spots to explore the islands and waters near Nassau. We saw numerous sea turtles, some interesting fish, and when we were on the island, we saw some gorgeous peacocks. They also went the extra mile to show us a few areas that are not part of their normal routine. Great guys! Great tour! Highly recommended!!

Instead of doing the 'suggested' day by Disney in Nassau, we hired Captain Paul for an excursion with our 2 girls and it was by far the best day of the trip. Captain Paul and his 'fish whisperer' Baba were professional, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. My girls loved them, in 1 day we caught over 10 fish, went to a private beach, went to a beach bar for lunch, and swam with turtles. I cannot recommend Paul enough - the fact that his daytrip was head and shoulders above any other part of a very expensive Disney cruise says everything!

I travel a lot and do tons of research for booking any type of excursion. What I have learned is the smaller, owner-operated excursions are by far superior to the big companies with multiple boats etc. Our trip with Captain Paul today reinforced this. We were a group of 8 old college friends, and Paul was super flexible in creating a day that we all wanted. He was extremely professional while also being fun, and the drinks were appreciated! Recommend asking Paul to take you to the Footprints beach bar--fun and laid back vibe!

If you are looking for a great day on the water with lots of activities, look no further! Capt. Paul met us on time at the specified meeting spot. We then headed out to fish. Barba, his first mate, is a fish whisperer. He could look at the currents and know where to drop the lines. The boys would immediately catch fish after fish. We caught strawberry grouper and porgy. We even had a barracuda eat 2/3 of a fish as we reeled it in. Next, we were off to Turtle Town to swim with the sea turtles. You can swim with them and touch their shells. After that, we went to Rose Island and swam and enjoyed a deserted beach with super soft white sand. Our final stop was the reef. The Capt gave us some snacks for the fish and they swarmed around us. It was beautiful! It was a wonderful day enjoyed by the entire family. You will not be disappointed if you schedule a trip with Capt Paul!

We have been to the Bahamas a handful of times and our one day with captain Paul has been the best time yet! From fishing, snorkeling with fish and turtles, going to a private beach and having a good time! We will definitely be contacting Captain Paul again!

We had an amazing boat trip. We went fishing, snorkeling in a stunning environment, rested on a few peaceful beaches and the most striking moment was probably watching big turtles swim around the boat. The captain, Paul, is very professional, friendly and respectful of the nature and wildlife. We look forward to our next trip with Paul !

We went to the Bahamas mostly to relax and enjoy the crystal clear waters and that’s exactly what we did. We were looking to snorkel, swim with the sea turtles, and enjoy some time on a private island with soft powdery sand and Captain Paul made it happen! He made sure we had a great time. He had snacks and beverages for everyone on board as well as plenty of extra ice and space for our extra food and drink items. He was knowledgeable about the island and the best spots to snorkel and swim with the turtles. We saw at least 12 huge sea turtles and swam right next to several of them! We had an amazing time aboard his boat. It was the highlight of our trip! Oh yeah, I almost forgot his giant pink flamingo float! Floating in the crystal blue water right off of a small private island sipping a homemade rum punch without a care in the world. Thank you captain Paul we will definitely be back to take another day cruise with you!!

This was the highlight of our trip to Nassau. The private boat with Captain Paul was so much better than the huge snorkeling tours with 50 + people. Capt Paul had food for the fish and they came in the hundreds! All different, beautiful shapes and sizes. My daughter took beautifu under water videos. We snorkled 2 different areas, stopped at private beach for Rum Punch. My children and I gathered sea shells (ages 11 and 15). The boat tour around Nassau was nice, too. Absolutely beautiful. best excursion ever. Such a great price for all the time spent out on the beautiful water!! We even saw Gilligan's Island!

Capt. Paul was awesome during our snorkeling trip in Nassau. He was very personable and went out of his way to make it the best part of our vacation.

We docked in the Bahamas, Nassau on the 22.06.19, we were greeted by Captain Paul and Baba with incredible professionalism and such warmth and knowledge of the islands. He took us to the most incredible islands, the best water, non-touristy places, where we got to swim with dolphins and turtles. What he told us we would get, we got and his knowledge of the islands and love for his country made us that more drawn to Paul. What made our trip with Captain Paul was he was in the plans of our engagement and took us to the most incredible island, Rose Island a dream that you only view in movies. He did it, without Paul we would never have experienced what we did, to hold for a lifetime of memories. Captain Paul and Baba... Thank you- I hope you are enjoying Fifi the flamingo. Andy and I will see you very soon. Swim with the pigs!

We were so incredibly thankful that we decided to book a day with Captain Paul. This was our best day on our 10 day adventure in the Bahamas. He took us to the best snorkeling and kept us safe at the same time. Captain Paul is very knowledge and will take such good care of you!

Our family of four (two teenagers) had a blast. Great snorkeling, great views, great secluded beach visit. Captain Paul is a wonderful host and guide. This excursion was the best part of our trip.

Could not have asked for a better day in the Bahamas!!! We had a group of six adults and everyone agreed it was a great trip. Captain Paul and Bobba were fantastic hosts. Best snorkeling I have done so far and I have snorkeled quite a few places. Tons of beautiful fish!!! Next stop we saw three sea turtles. Then had a delicious lunch at blue lagoon!! We also stopped at Rose Island and had the whole island to ourselves. There we sat in the water enjoying rum punch!! We also saw peacocks and a sting ray there!!! Last with Bobba’s expertise we were able to catch a few fish!!! Oh and let me go back to the rum punch for a minute... it was delicious and flowing!!! Everything was perfect!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH CAPTAIN PAUL AND BOBBA!!!

My husband, myself, and our 7 year old daughter went out with Captain Paul for a half day snorkeling and beach adventure. It was her first time learning to snorkel, and he made sure to take us to locations that were beautiful and conducive to learning. The islands were magnificent and we saw beautiful turtles! Captain Paul was extremely friendly and we had a great time. I highly recommend this excursion!

My wife and I were there for our 38th Wedding Anniversary, along with our son, daughter in law and 4 year old grandson. We decided on a full day with Captain Paul and could not have been more happy with the day. We toured the island, snorkeled a reef full of fish, played on a private beach, had a great lunch, and caught a bunch of fish. Highly recommended. Paul and Bubba were great to be with, made us very comfortable and hosted a great trip. You will not regret this day in the beautiful Bahamas

Things couldn't have worked out better on our cruise ship stop in Nassau. We wanted to go snorkeling and didn't pre-book a tour and were lucky to connect with Paul. He took us to 3 different areas to go snorkeling and beaching. We felt we that we got to go to better places/islands than we would have with a bigger tour. Nothing beats a local that knows the spots and is very knowledgeable about the area. As the catamaran's packed full of people passed us we felt so lucky to be on a smaller boat with our 2 families and our own tour guide. He toured us around on his boat and educated us about the area. Paul is a wonderfully kind man that loves his work and it reflects when you take a tour with his company. This was the best part of our entire trip!

I went on a 4 hour trip with a group of 7. Captain Paul and Crew were incredibly respectful and genuine. They only cared about giving you the best experience possible all while keeping safety at the top of their list. It was easily the highlight of my trip and would recommend this excursion to anyone looking to have an incredible day. I would go back just to do this all over again.

My family—two adults, plus two children (11 and 9) went out last Sunday with Captain Paul and his assistant Mama. Both were friendly, knowledgable and fun! You can customize your experience—my son really wanted to try fishing and with some excellent conch bait he caught four fish in ten minutes using a hand line that Mama brought. We also fished with rods....snorkled, and visited an uninhabited island with a beautiful beach. My recommendation is to book this trip, support a local business, and avoid the more crowded boats of tourists heading out of Nassau. We thought it was the best thing we did in the Bahamas.

Captain Paul better known as “captain jack sparro” is an amazing tour guide!! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Nassau! Not only was the excursion great but any questions you have about the island were answered ! Made the day very very fun !

Paul literally made our trip during the 2 days we were with him! Highly recommended for couples or groups of friends, he will surely meet all your requests and exceed your expectations Thanks again Paul!

The last stop on our cruise was in Nassau and we (two families- 8 total) booked a 4 hr excursion with Capt. Paul. Everything was excellent! He was at the dock when we got off the ship, gave us an excellent tour with tons of info and was fantastic to hang out with. His boat was spacious and he was a great pilot, we got to do everything we wanted including seeing Atlantis and the harbor/shoreline yachts and multi-million dollar homes, snorkel the reefs, snorkel with turtles and hang out on a beautiful beach with a nice nature walk. This was the best excursion on our trip. Afterwards Capt. Paul had us back to the port at the time we had requested and even walked with us to shop the Straw Market. Thanks again Capt. Paul for a wonderful time!

Nous avons réservé une demi journée avec capitaine Paul, pour une escale durant notre croisière. La communication a toujours été rapide et parfaite. Malheureusement , comme durant toute notre semaine, la météo n était pas de la partie, nuageux et froid, mais c était notre seule excursion sympa alors nous l avons faites quand même. Mon fils et mon mari ont pêché, c était super pour eux, mais le snorkeling n était pas terrible car la mer étant agité l eau était trouble, et ils ne voyaient pas à 2 mètres, et ils n ont pas vu de tortues, ce qui est dommage. Capitaine Paul était aussi déçu, mais il essayait de tout faire pour rendre notre sortie agréable, nous amenant sur une belle plage déserte, et faire une balade près de l Atlantis, ce n était pas sa faute, on ne peut rien faire contre le temps. Si je retourne à Nassau, nous reprendrons ses services car il est très professionnel, sans en faire trop, c était une super attitude, merci Bonne continuation à vous, quand on regarde les belles photos ensoleillés on a un petit regret... Melinda

Capt.Paul was amazing. He attended to all our requests to stop and what we wanted to see. We got to see the Atlantis up close, go to the rose island,snorkel and see fish as well as stingray and turtles. He entertained our 7 year old well too. He was very informative, kind and made for a perfect day in the bahamas!Highly recommend!

Capt. Paul is the man! Great day had on the water with 7 couples! Very knowledgeable captain with some great spots away from the tourist areas! Looking forward to our next trip with him!

Paul was such a great host. We had an amazing trip and got to see so much more of this beautiful island. Highly recommend!

My family and I just returned from a fabulous vacation aboard the Disney Cruise Line. But as wonderful and magical as Disney is ...our favorite part of the whole trip was the day we spent aboard Paul's boat!! From start to finish it was an absolutely amazing day! Paul was extremely accommodating, kind, knowledgeable and his hospitality unmatched! We can nor wait to come back for another day with Paul!! Thanks for an amazing day! Charlie and Donna

Captain Paul is the man. Very friendly and courteous. He took us snorkeling and was very informative about the island when he gave us a tour. My husband and our two boys, we had the time of our lives. It was totally worth it and will be an experience that we'd never forget. I would highly recommend Capt. Paul.

I'm normally a bit skeptical of businesses that have 100% perfect reviews. In this case, believe it. These folks are awesome! Captain Paul and Elvis are 100% there for the customers. In one afternoon, we enjoyed some commentary on the houses of the rich and famous, snorkeled, caught fish, snorkeled again to see sea turtles and finally enjoyed a few minutes on the beach with some rum punch. I can't wait to come back and see what we can do when we have a whole day!!

We have started off in the morning (at 11am to be precise) and headed to Rose Island. On our way the bosun briefed the history of islands we were passing. Pretty interesting. Plenty of James Bond's footprints (or flipperprints :-)). We stopped in the middle of the sea for a half an hour snorkeling adventure. Fish came aplenty. Thankfully we didn't have shark bait. Just the smaller, yet very colorful species. We had fun! Yeah. I don't need to mention the water was lukewarm. Just a bit cooler than from your daily shower. Great relaxing exercise. Then we headed towards an island where we were 'guaranteed' to see turtles. Surely, we saw half a dozen of those. Great beasts! I only regret we were not allowed to swim with them. Finally, we spent some time (an hour or little more) at an empty beach. Again, clear, warm water. Plenty of time to relax. Great rum punch. Had you brought snacks it would be great time to have them. The beach was surrounded by a tropical forest so plenty of shady spots. Otherwise the sun was overwhelmingly hot. If you are lucky you can find a huge shell (one of co-passengers found a lovely one). Not sure if it is allowed to bring them across boarders, though. On the way back we paid a short visit to the Paradise Island's Atlantis resort. Should you prefer you could deboard there. We, however, headed back to Nassau. Great job Capt. Paul!

A coach picked me up from my hotel on time and took us all to the port The process of signing disclaimers and getting passes was seamless. We were all boarded and it was explained to us the boat would move quickly and would take approx. 45 mins to their private island. Staff were on hand to assist. Our first stop was to feed Iguanas and they provided stick to put grapes on. This was great to see these creature ups close without causing them any stress. after this the two boats interweaved safely at high speed and was simply brilliant. Upon docking at the private island toilets were available and then snacks and drinks served. The bar remained open all the time we were there and served premium brands only. It was explained that although the sharks appear to perform they don't and are wild. Great care was taken by the staff to ensure our safety. The rays were fed and then came the pigs. The whole experience was amazing. I wasn't keen on getting too close to the sharks but as said, the staff really took exception care of us all. We then had a buffet lunch of fish, steak and salad. During this the sharks were 'shooed' away allowing swimming in the crystal clear water. Every care was taken to ensure everyone had a great time and they succeeded. I cannot recommend this company enough. My only criticism was the waiting for the return coach as it was pretty hot waiting for it to arrive. I would definitely go again.

What a fantastic tour of the islands! Cap’n Paul and his mate were extremely friendly and helpful. We went on a snorkeling adventure and even saw a shark! Then a relaxing jaunt to a beautiful white sand beach island for some swimming shell hunting and fish watching. We finished with a swing by Atlantis. Super fun day!

Captain Paul was excellent! We had a group of friends and family from kids to teenagers to adults and everyone had a blast. Captain Paul took us to a wonderful reef where we saw lots of beautiful fish while snorkeling and then he took us to a secluded cove where we had our on beach for fun and swimming. We found beautiful sand dollars and shells. Perfect day and best part of our trip to the Bahamas. Would highly recommend!

We booked a last minute trip with Capt Paul when our cruise ship docked in Nassau, and we loved it. Our group ranged in age from the very young to the not so young, but we all had a great time. Capt Paul and Scott both took great care of us, shared their knowledge of the local area and even introduced us to some great conch salad. The snorkeling and beach spot were both perfect for our group. We will be back for another trip next time we are in Nassau.

This was an excellent excursion. We stayed on the island on wanted to do something a little different. They handle every detail for the day. The activities from feeding lizards, shark wrangling, petting sting rays OMG. The food was tasty as well as the drinks. The only suggestion is sit on the inside and you may get a little wet on your way to the private island! Hands down it was the highlight of the trip.

The trip we took with Captain Paul and "Jack" was so much fun. They helped us onto the boat where we cruised through Nassau harbour and on to the snorkeling site where we were totally amazed at the beautiful fish and corals. We then had a cold bottle of water while on our way to the most beautiful beach I have seen in the area. Afrer the beach we then rode back to downtown Nassau along the way our hosts pointed out various points of interest. I enjoyed my time with them and you will too.

We took this excursion from a Carnival Cruise. It was the best excursion we have ever had. Our slightly nervous 10 year old daughter loved it and had no problems. Swimming off the reef is like swimming in an aquarium. The reef area is maybe 15 feet deep. All swimmers wear an inflatable life jacket while in the water. Small children who can swim can do this excursion but our teen loved it too! The multitude of fish and colors is amazing. The staff are very nice and the boat picks you up right by the port and brings you back there. No long bus ride or walk to get on your excursion.

We booked this trip through our cruise. What a fabulous excursion! Captain Paul and Ashton were fabulous. So accommodating and helpful to everyone on board. It was a great combination of snorkeling and beach time. We took our two daughters who had never snorkeled before and they had an excellent experience. I highly recommend this. It is not all day so it still gives you time to spend shopping or exploring the island. I can not recommend this enough! Thank you for a wonderful morning :)

Best excursion we have done in a long time. Captain Paul and Ashton were great. First time snorkeling for my teen daughters and they loved the trip. Well worth it!!

Captain Paul and first mate Aston were so great! They provided a wealth of information about the island! We ordered this excursion from our cruise prior to leaving and I am so glad we did! They were sold out once we got on the ship! We met early in the morning and got on the boat we went to 2 different locations. The 1st one location was right on the coral and we were there for 45 minutes! It was great! The 2nd stop we were off of a deserted island. Some played volleyball, others built sand castles, we asked to continue snorkling and it was wonderful!

Una bellissima e intensa giornata piena di emozioni e di nuove esperienze .. spettacolare il viaggio in motoscafo d'altura. poi bella esperienza con incontro di iguane, trasferimento su un'altra isola e contatto diretto con le mante e indiretto (!) con gli squali. Grande bagno tra i coralli ... uno spettacolo di giornata!!!

Captain Paul and mate Ashton took us on a wonderful 4-hour cruise around Paradise Island. They have the gift of hospitality, knowledge of the area, and skilled seamanship that combine for a wonderful day in the Bahamas. The boat was very comfortable for our party of 10, and we enjoyed snorkeling, sight-seeing and time on a private beach. They provided coolers, ice, snorkel equipment, water and soda. We brought adult beverages, sandwiches, and towels. We had adults and kids ranging from 8 to 16, and everyone had a fabulous day.

Capt Paul and Ashton did a great job taking us snorkeling, and to Rose Island. The water was rough, but Paul ensured each person was comfortable, Bring an underwater camera for the snorkeling. They dropped us off close to shopping and the bars in Nassau. Paul and Ashton were very friendly and made. it a great day

Captain Paul and mate Ashton were two of the friendliest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! It was such a beautiful place and these guys made sure you got to see the best of it! They made sure every single person was safe and got the best views. Words cannot describe how fun this trip was!!! Thank you again guys so much!! "Feel the rythm, feel the rhyme, get on up its bobsled time". Regards, Brianna.

Awesome fun! Awesome crew! Snorkeling was Awesome! Fantastic! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Captain Paul, You did such an amazing job with our tour and made it a memorable experience for my wife and I. You were very friendly and knowledgeable during the ride to the islands. I tend to ask a lot of questions and I know that it can sometimes be annoying. You answered every question and then some with a very friendly attitude and somehow managed to NOT get aggravated with me :) You have a very clean boat and take care of your equipment very well. Your associate Sandra was very attentive towards all the families. At one point during the ride back to the cruise ship, you saw a life jacket in the water and turned around to retrieve it. I know a lot of other people that would have just left it. My wife and I appreciate that you didn't leave it. The water was crystal clear and the island was gorgeous. Thanks again for taking care of us and if we decide to go back to the Bahamas we will be contacting you!!

Captain Paul and Ashton, Mauricio and I had the most amazing time on our snorkeling excursion! It was by far my favorite! I also enjoyed learning about the different islands on the Bahamas! I will highly recommend your excursion to anyone in the future! Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Our family of 5 spent an afternoon with this great crew. All of us commented on how great it was to not share the experience with a bunch of strangers. The variety of fishing, snorkeling, and beach time was great. We will book this trip again on our next trip to the Bahamas.

We booked this as a shore excursion during a recent cruise. We have been to the Bahamas before and have participated in other snorkeling trips. Paul & Sandra run a very professional experience. Paul knows some of the best places to see amazing underwater life and offers a great tour of the beautiful homes as you go in and out of the port. He is very knowledgeable of the area. The price is a good deal and value. There were many first time snorkelers and he made sure everyone was comfortable.

We booked this as a shore excursion while on the Carnival Ecstasy and were not disappointed. It was an excellent price ($60 per person) especially compared to other snorkel packages. Additionally, it was a smaller boat so there were 50 people trying to snorkel in a small space. The captain, Paul, was on point! He was friendly, knowledgable, helpful, and hilarious. We had a great time!

We were well informed about the area, the captain was very knowledgeable of the area. The boat and the snorkeling equipment was in good working order. The captain parked the boat so that we had excellent access to the coral reef for our snorkeling adventure. It was fantastic. After we snorkeled the captain took us to another area and docked the boat so that we could explore a absolutely beautiful beach. This excursion was a tremendous value and I will definitely do it again when I am back in the area. Take a camera, the scenery is incredible.

This was my children's first experience on a snorkel tour we had a awesome time beautiful beaches and great snorkel location. The Captain was very knowledgeable of the area and very nice. I would take this tour again and recommend to everyone for a great experience. Thank you

Was blown away from the beginning to the end. Very informative and relaxing. me and my family enjoy the whole experience especially the snorkel time. What beautiful waters.

I had the most awesome time with family. Nice friendly staff, beautiful tour. will definitely book again :)
