Captain John has worked as a dive master and boat captain at the Cape Eleuthera Marina hosting guests from Milan to Hollywood. Building his knowledge of the waters across the archipelago, he served as a dive master at Andros Beach Inn and operated Sea and Ski Ocean Sports in Paradise Island. Before starting Big Mac Fishing & Boat Tours, John was a captain for a 53’ Hatteras for many years and won several tournaments with its owners.  With 40 years of experience, he knows the waters, fish and reefs of The Bahamas like the back of his hand.

A “Mac of All Trades,” he has also run construction companies in Harbour Island and Eleuthera, led a Junkanoo group to several major titles and serves as the Chief Councilor for South Eleuthera in his spare time. As a property manager he has earned over 100 five-star reviews on Airbnb and VRBO. An aficionado of the local Rake ‘n’ Scrape music, John plays the saw and the Goombay Drum. He loves sharing his island, its culture and its sights with visitors. Captain John is a great cook.  If you can catch it, he can tell you how to cook it, local style!

John is a captain with an A license in The Bahamas, as well as STCW and CPR certifications. He is a PADI Dive Master. Captain John is also fully vaccinated.
