About
My charter tours offer many exciting adventures. Let me know what you're looking to do on your day on the beautiful waters of Long Island, Bahamas. The fishing is exceptional from catching wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi along with a wide variety of groupers, snappers. You may want to do a full boat day to the World Famous Chat n Chill in Exuma and so much more!!

Hands down one of the best charter fishing trips we have ever taken, so much so we have now gone twice with Yan. The first trip we booked with Yan was in December 2020 for a family fishing trip with the kids for Wahoo and the second trip was in April 2021 for an adult-only Mahi trip. The booking process was smooth with fantastic customer service. When we arrived at the boat dock we were welcomed immediately onto the boat and given a brief safety briefing. Yan's boat was clean, well equipped with fishing gear, life vests, drinks, and snacks. As we were headed out to the open water to start fishing we were given lots of information about Long Island and the general area along with them pointing out all kinds of sea life to us. The fishing was great and Yan was fantastic at keeping us informed on what to watch for and how to reel the fish in once they hit our lines. Our son reeled in a Wahoo in December, it was fun to see our son so excited but just as fun to see how excited Yan was that h our son was reeling one in. On our second trip in April, we fished for Mahi and yet again we were nothing but impressed with the whole process from booking to fishing. We have taken many fishing charter trips and Yan Turnquest has been the best we have ever had. I would highly recommend booking Yan for fishing and Eco Tours.

We did two tours with Yan Each time he went above and beyond to anticipate my needs from making sure there was bait on my line so I could continuously fish (yup we catch 35 snappers in just one spot) and ice and water on hand to quench my thirst He made me feel extremely safe with COVID protocols in place and safety drills in case something could go wrong Their pontoon boat tour was fab for a girls day out on the water. Easy access to get on and off the boat. There was plenty of dancing and his excellent knowledge of the sea life around made day one to remember. I highly recommend going out with Yan l. In the 12 years, I have come to Long Island he is the best tour guide on the island hands down with the best service and fun.

Captain Yan and first mate April know how to host a fabulous boating adventure. Our group was interested in snorkeling, wreck diving and spear fishing. He was right there on every dive guiding us to the best spear fishing holes and running safety for us. His boat, a 27 foot twin engine Sea Chaser, handled our group of 8 guests comfortably and got us out to the dive sites in no time flat. On our lunch break we visited Sandy Cay and dined on fresh caught conch. At the end of the trip, everyone was happy with the experience and later that night we all dined on Nassau grouper and mutton snapper. An unforgettable adventure!

In simple words, "the best day of our life!!
There isn't enough words to describe the time my wife and I have spent with Captain Yan, who is very kind, professional and will go out of his way to make sure you have the best time of your life and without a doubt, he surely did for us. We are still speechless to how incredibly beautiful and amazing the places he took us to from Long Island to The Snacks (special part of a massive lagoon), all the way to Sandy cay off from exuma. He also offered us drinks and special treats such as the best lobster salad I have ever tasted in a long time.
We are a recently married couple and we are also passionate kitesurfers looking for new spots and we have decided at the last minute to make a 10 day Kitesurfing Honeymoon Vacation all in one on Long Island and we are so glad that we were able to find Captain Yan Turnquest because again, this was hands down one of, if not, the best day of our lives and we highly highly recommend Captain Yan for all your Fishing, boat touring and kitesurfing desires. Trust us, you won't regret it and thank you Captain Yan for making are dreams a reality and definitely, we will be back again!!

What a great experience we have just had with Captain Yan and his team, Richard and Mateo.
1st we set off with fellow passengers for the sunset cruise where we were treated to a fabulous Sunset over the ocean whilst we all indulged on the drinks on offer.
2 days later, with our 2 man crew of Richard and Mateo, we set off for our full day Eco trip where we saw a shark, stingrays and met the fabulous swimming pigs at Hog Cay. With great snorkeling and ocean fishing, we had an amazing day and would recommend these guys 100% to take care of your boat tours or fishing charters on Long Island.

Was a great experience, Captain & Mate are very nice & experienced. The waters of Long Island are almost unreal. At the first spot we stopped at we were reeling in fish in less than 2 minutes after casting the line. Was an awesome experience overall. Highly recommend Captain Yan & First Mate Tayo.

Yan and his crew definitely made our fishing trip an unforgettable experience! From his professionalism to showing us his dance moves, we created fun and long lasting memories out to sea! The trip to the sandbank is probably my favorite part because it’s truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Thank you, Yan. We’ll be back!!!

Our family of twenty-three chartered the entire boat for an evening cruise this past month. It was the highlight of our family vacation on Long Island. The captain and all the crew were extra friendly and helpful. The scenery was spectacular, the drinks plentiful and the food delicious. We all danced to the Bahamian rhythms on board and enjoyed feeding the pigs on a deserted island.. This scenic adventure is total delight and highly recommended!

Our favorite day of the trip was our day on the boat with Captain Yan. He put us on the fish (grouper, lane snapper, queen triggerfish), and brought us to a couple of different snorkelling spots that were incredible. This was our first trip to Long Island, but won’t be our last. The only thing we’d do different the next time is schedule 2 or 3 days with Captain Yan. April and Yan are good people and we can’t wait to be back soon. Do yourself a favor and book a day on the water with Yan.
