Captain TJ Gibson
Nationality Bahamas
Languages Spoken English

Captain TJ Gibson grew up in Palmetto Point, Eleuthera, where the ocean has always been an important part of his life. From an early age, he spent countless days on and around the water, developing a deep respect for the sea and an intimate knowledge of the islands.

His passion for the ocean led him to become a scuba instructor, giving him the opportunity to share the beauty of The Bahamas with others in a safe, knowledgeable, and engaging way. TJ is especially proud of his Eleutheran roots and enjoys introducing guests to quiet coves, secluded beaches, and lesser-known spots that make the islands so special.

Warm, professional, and attentive, Captain TJ takes great pride in creating relaxed, memorable days on the water while ensuring his guests feel comfortable and well cared for throughout their time aboard.
