Best fishing trip and most affordable for a private charter-and coming to the Bahamas for 20+ years
Half day trip light tackle on July 16, 20263 adults

Captain Andre and his mate are the only two people you want taking you out on your private charter! He promised us he was going to do his best to get us to catch fish, and he did! Whenever the fish stopped, biting, we were off to the next spot. We even landed a shark that we set free. I think he said we caught over nine different species of fish however, some we had to throw back due to their size. We had so much fun, and we were the only three people on the boat- with him and his mate. I’ve been bringing my family to the Bahamas since the early 2000s, and we’ve been on many fishing trips. Most of them with people we didn’t know because we couldn’t afford a private charter. Several years, we couldn’t find people to go on a trip, so we didn’t fish. This trip was the most affordable, and the best we’ve been on. Make sure you call and schedule your trip ahead of uour viist; or as soon as you get to the Bahamas, cause I have a feeling this Captain is going to be booking up his slots very fast…. After we were done fishing, he took us back to the docks where they filleted each and every fish with such care to get us the best fillets. Even the chef back at our resort commented on how nice the fillets were! Captain, a sincere thank you for an outstanding trip! We can’t wait to come back to the Bahamas and head back out with you and your crew!

Best Anniversary Gift!
Half Day Trip – Trolling on August 1, 20262 adults2 children

I booked this charter as a five year wedding gift for my husband and it more than delivered! Our crew were so incredibly personable and really went above and beyond to make my toddlers feel part of the experience! A highlight was catching a barracuda as the kids couldn’t believe how “scary” it looked! The team took great care to prepare our catch and directed us to a convenient (and incredible) spot to have it prepared for our lunch. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had and my husband was thrilled with his “gift”! Can’t recommend enough!!

Half Day Trip – Light Tackle on July 6, 20262 adults

Perfect weather starting our trip. The captain even waited on us to find a parking spot before we boarded. We started catching fish immediately. Strawberry grouper was our main catch, if you could get it in before the barracuda grabbed it. We lost 2 before we could get them in the boat. The first mate took care of all of the handling of the bait and the fish as well as filleting our catch so we could take it to the poop deck and have it prepared. Towards the end of our trip we got stuck in a thunderstorm. The captain diverted us between 2 fronts of weather so we only got soaked when we had to. Great trip and great crew with or without the rain. Despite the thunderstorm, everything leading up to that, the weather was perfect. Definitely recommend

My best fishing charter ever
Half Day Trip – Light Tackle on April 23, 20261 adult

Captain c and his first mate picked us up at senor frogs, as agreed, and we went out through the channel. First mate gave a running narative aniut the houses, businesses, and the islands we were passing. Very entertaining. We got ti deep water, and i began cating smaller fish and some med size groupers. Then moving to rockier deep water, we started using the small fish as bait, on a heavier pole. Soon i hooked a 3 ft barracuda! Got it on board, started fishing again. Then we hooked a shark! Finally got it to the top, and it was a 7 ft long nurse shark! Great trip!

Awesome experince!
Half Day Trip – Light Tackle on April 1, 20262 adults2 children

Great captain and mate! While we didn't have the most ideal conditions (a bit windy, slightly rough seas), that didnt dampen the fun. First stop we were hooked up within minutes and it was non-stop reeling until we decided to move to calmer waters. Second stop was more of the same, fish after fish hooked up! Caught 8 different species with numerous keepers. Highly recommend for a great time, accommodating captain and most important, if you want to catch fish!

An avid angler his whole life, Captain Chalres fished on boats all over the Bahamas before deciding to get his own captain's license in 2012. With his own boat, he's able to get out on the water whenever he wants, indulging in his passion for fishing. What's even better is that he can now share his passion with anyone he wants. He welcomes anglers of all levels aboard, and hopes to make sure you leave with a smile on your face.
