Sunshine Charters operates out of Nassau, Bahamas, and specializes in nearshore reef fishing and deep sea fishing at the area's most productive fishing grounds. This charter is ideal both for anglers looking for their next trophy and those after their first taste of the local angling action.
Their vessel is 48' Hatteras offshore sport fishing boat, originally built in 1980, and restored as recently as 2017. It's powered by twin 450 HP GM engines and features all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern sportfisher. Nearshore trips are suitable for groups of up to 15 people while offshore adventures can take a maximum of 10 guests.
These waters are famous for their wealth of fish and diversity of species. This means that the list of possible targets stays quite long regardless of the time of your visit. Whether you're bottom fishing or trolling, each time that rod bends, there's a chance you'll be surprised by what you hooked.
Fishing gear, baits, and tackle are all taken care of and will be waiting for you when you come aboard. This includes world-class Shimano rods and reels, and top-notch artificials. Snorkeling equipment is also always available for anyone looking to peek below the waves.
Also included in the price are fishing licenses, water, sodas, and catch cleaning. For those interested in spearfishing, a professional guide can be arranged ahead of the trip – for a small additional fee. All you should bring are some food, any additional drinks you'd like, sunscreen and sunglasses.
Once you have this taken care of, all you'll have to focus on is being ready when the drag starts to scream!

Captain Benson was fantastic with our group of seven, including the kids. He was patient, kept everyone engaged, and made sure every single person got a chance to reel something in. He clearly knows these waters and put us right on the fish. The boat was clean and comfortable, and he handled all the bait and rigging so the kids could just enjoy the action. A great day on the water. If you’re visiting Nassau with family, book with Sunshine Charters — you won’t regret it.”
From the time we arrived at the dock until the end of the charter everything was top notch. Captain took us to 3 different spots and was quick to move when the fish stopped hitting. His crew was fantastic helping the younger anglers with less experience. Great day on the water and next time we are in Nassau will be booking with Captain Benson!
Our family had a blast. The scenery is spectacular but Captain and crew even moreso. Despite difficult conditions ok the water, the crew worked tirelessly to find us fish. In particular, we just loved the big fun personalities of rhe Captain and crew. They were not only professional but helpful and delightful. When we return, we will dedinately hope to rejoin them.
Thank you very much Brian greatly Appreciated
Great trip cant wait to do it again!!!
Captain did not discount our four hour trip as it was only three hours because of rain. He returned after 3 hours and charged for four hours. First mate cut up our catch and asked if the ones that he fileted was enough, as there were 12 of us and it looked like about five fish, we asked him to filet the others too. Our catch was about eight edible fish. However, Captain Benson and his crew did a good job other than no discount. It was still a nice trip. Thank you,
