I must admit that I thought the deal I was getting was too good to be true but then I met Mark, the owner of Courtesy Private Charters. He was well liked by all who knew him at the airport, hotel (Cove Atlantis) and various establishments (Dune, Cafe Matisse, Oh Andros, Lumbys, Fish Frye) that he took us to over our long weekend getaway. He was able to give you an honest opinion about anything you inquired about. Although we booked him for small group airport transportation for our group of 8, which Mark did exceptionally well, we also coordinated with him for all of our dinner excursions. He was honest with his pricing. There’s something to be said about that. Prices didn’t change and they were fair. There are cheaper ways perhaps to get around but you get what you pay for. He became a part of our group and we all enjoyed reuniting daily. When we were in smaller groups for personal excursions he provided an SUV driven by Tony who was also exceptional. We even had lunch at an establishment that we weren’t familiar with that Tony recommended (Lumby’s had awesome fried red snapper, rice and peas, macaroni and cheese and homemade potato salad). Most people never leave the resort and that’s a shame because the best island food is not at the large, corporate owned resorts. Mark gives you the opportunity to safely explore the actual Bahamas. For me that is crucial and they helped us explore to our hearts content. Thank you Mark for making our trip even better by safely taking us from destination to destination while enhancing the rides with your knowledge, opinions and insight into hidden gems. I may change where I stay in the Bahamas but I will be a customer of Marks Courtesy Private Charters whenever I return.
