    I'm a local captain in great Exuma, born and raised here, I run tours up in that area and at the lazy river (the cut). The guy "tryna see what's going on" in the intro was one of my classmates. The private concierge at Ole Ike Bay is one of my best friends, I know mikey and a bunch of the other guys in this video. Insane to see you capture such crazy footage of the spots that I run through almost every day. I'm surprised I didn't spot your boat out there I would've came up and said hi. Cheers man, thanks for coming through and showing off my island.

    My Bahama land this is a wonderful video you are very fortunate to experience the true beauty of The Exumas. Even though this video captures the beauty greatly, I want people believe me when I say this, the camera still doesn't capture the true beauty. The colors are ten times more beautiful in person. If one wanted to imagine what heaven looks like, this is the place to go see.

    Great movie kids we’re actually in Exuma right now and I pulled up your beautiful video. People have no idea about the beauty that one can see in Exuma. Our house is waterfront with a seawall that the waves crash against which is about 15 feet from our back door. There is no prejudice or division here. (we are patriots from California) I can talk about it, but unless you experience the love that exudes here you just won’t get it. XO

Also the guy who runs the conch shack is Ronaldo who is Mikeys Co Captains Brother for the Island Boys. Great charter company Mikey and Deon always know how to have a good time.

    Great video, always love seeing Exuma. Been visiting there for a good couple of years. A note to others that want to visit Exuma. Most of lower exuma and Elizabeth harbor is considered a national park, so you can't fish in those areas. So make sure to go with a licensed Guide like Mikey that will take you to proper spots to fish.
