Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our family of five had the absolute pleasure of spending three incredible days with Captain Sean during our trip to Eleuthera, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! Each adventure was perfectly tailored to our interests and left us with unforgettable memories.
On the first day, Captain Sean took us to swim with the famous pigs, stroll along stunning sandbars, collect beautiful shells, and interact with stingrays. Feeding and swinging with the rays on a sandbar was truly magical!
The second day was all about fishing. Sean guided us through a full day of fishing, where we caught plenty of fish, including several he cleaned for us to enjoy that evening. Our sons even had the chance to spearfish, which they’re still talking about!
On our final day, Captain Sean led us on an exploration of Eleuthera’s natural wonders. We visited awe-inspiring caves, the breathtaking Queen’s Baths, and some dramatic cliffs.
Sean was consistently punctual, flexible with our plans, and an incredible source of knowledge about the local culture, wildlife, and island life. His expertise and enthusiasm made every moment a joy.
If you’re planning a trip to Eleuthera, booking with Captain Sean at Island Charters is a must. He turned our vacation into an extraordinary experience we’ll cherish forever!

This was a great experience. Sean took us to Harbor Island side and a place that we would not have found on our own. There, we swam with turtles, some large, and rays. They were gentle and accepted chunks of squid that Sean provided. We then dove on a rocky ledge on the Eleuthera side. Nice views. Sean waited patiently while we had a quick walk about Dunmore Town, and on the return trip, provided some much-needed and greatly appreciated advice on navigating the Devil's Backbone area. We'll see him again.

My family had such a fun day out on the water with Captain Sean! He had the perfect day out letting my family do exactly what we wanted! We enjoyed feeding the pigs, spearfishing at reefs where we saw beautiful fish & looking for conchs. His boat is very comfortable & he was a great guide. I highly recommend him & look forward to going back!

We just returned from a week in Eleuthera and spent 2 days out on the water with Captain Sean Sweeting. I cannot say enough good things about Sean and the way he handled our group. We were a large group of 16 and a mix of teenagers and adults. Sean did a great job of communicating and answering questions prior to getting out so we had a plan in place each day. We dove on ship wrecks and some shallow reefs , saw the swimming pigs and turtles and stopped at Sand Dollar beach. Highlight for the crew was getting in the water to spear lobster which some first time visitors to Eleuthera hadn’t done before. When it came time for us to fish , Sean was very hands on and set up lines for the group and made sure there was bait on the lines or fish coming in the boat. We caught a bunch of snapper which the Captain cleaned for us when we got back to the dock. Sean has great knowledge of the area and did everything possible for our group to have an incredible time. His boat is perfect for these types of activities and he sets up a cooler iced down with water and drinks. I would highly recommend getting out with Captain Sweeting and Island Charters.

Capt. Sean was very accommodating from the moment he answered his phone. He sent me a pin of the dock where we were supposed to meet him, so we would not get lost the morning of. He let me pick which size boat I would like, and he described each boat over the phone. He let us basically decide which activities we were interested in, so he was very flexible. He also, without my prompting him, picked up on that we had an hour drive before arriving at the dock,so he pushed the charter back to 9AM, to allow us plenty of time to arrive at the dock on-time, without having to wake little ones up too early. Lastly he was great with my kids....helping the youngest feed the turtles and letting her honk the horn while the older children snorkeled. Of course, last but not least, he delivered on all promises and did not try to rush us at all. He was engaged, hospitable and friendly.

Capt. Sean was an excellent guide; lobster diving and a 1/2 day fishing charter was a blast. Plenty of lobster and fish caught by our group of 5, he definitely knows the waters well and was able to point us in all the right directions and answered all our questions. Definitely will be back and highly recommend Island Charters/Capt Sean!

When we originally booked our trip we did not know a storm would hit. Unfortunately we had to move a lot of our plans around but Island Charters was flexible. They were great at communicating via email. Island Charters was professional and were able to accommodate us despite the unexpected. The tour was amazing, we were able to swim with the pigs, see the swings, and stop at the sand bar. It was definitely the highlight of our trip!

We had a great time on the 30’ power boat, with our family of 6. Highlite are the turtles and the beautiful Sandbar off the coast of Spanish wells. Simply beautiful! We had some bad weather and Shawn and Latoria did a great job getting around it and through it with us feeling safe and secure. Lunch in Spanish Wells was fantastic!

What an amazing day (2 actually)! Look no further, just book Captain Sean! We had a party of 12 so we chartered both boats for a full day adventure. Captain Sean and Captain Clayton were spectacular. Swam with sea turtles, snorkeled with gorgeous tropical fish, a great lunch in Spanish Wells, the swings, disappearing sandbar, and finally swam with pigs. Couldn't fit much else in. I was a small bit worried that my parents (in their 70's) might have issues in and out of the boat, but it was a non-issue. It was the highlight of our family Christmas vacation to Eleuthera. We followed it up with a half day charter on Christmas eve for some fishing and Sean had us on the fish! Can't say enough about Sean, his team, and his wife Latoria who recommended. Thanks again guys!

What an Epic Day on the water with Captain Sean. He answered my emails right away and gave us lots of choices for fun things to do. From the moment we met him we felt like we had definitely made the right choice in going with him. He was so nice and interesting and told us all about what it's like to live on the beautiful island of Spanish Wells. The trip exceeded our expectations. We swam with the turtles and sting rays, which was definitely worth the trip. We swam with the pigs, snorkeled, saw huge starfish and beautiful scenery everywhere we went. We enjoyed our day with Sean so much that we ended up going back to Spanish Wells with him and took him to lunch. He gave us a tour of the island on his golf cart and waited with us until the ferry came to take us back to the main island. We would definitely highly recommend booking your trip with him. He had a beautiful, clean boat, a cooler full of waters and soda's and everything we would need on the trip. He was a pleasure to spend the day with and we will definitely be rebooking adventures with him in the future. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Eleuthera.
