Bahama Mama Charters
Here at Bahama Mama Charters we are lucky enough to call this place home. Nowhere else does the gulfstream come closer than the Boynton Beach/Delray Beach area, which makes for an extraordinary fishery. We are known for our world-class sailfishing which is why many refer to this area of water as "Sailfish Alley" Fishing a half a mile off the beach, we specialize in kite fishing with live baits to catch Sailfish, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi. In about a 30 minute run east you are fishing some of the best Swordfish grounds in all of South Florida. We catch a variety of pelagics year-round with the peak fishing being in the Springtime. Every year we guide anglers from all over that have never seen a sailfish before and through our experience and next-level equipment we are able to have them release over a dozen sailfish in one outing, many times within a few hours. Whether it is an unforgettable day of sailfishing, your personal best wahoo, filling the box full of jumbo blackfin tunas and mahis in the Spring, or a swordfish of a lifetime, assisting you in reaching that goal is our sole focus and reason we do what we do. We go above and beyond for our clients and pride ourselves on exceeding expectations and creating the ultimate angling experience. You will fish aboard a high performance fishing machine that has been rigorously engineered and meticulously hand crafted. Hard work, attention to detail, and perseverance define Bahama Mama Charters. We cannot wait to assist in achieving your angling dreams.

We had such a great time with Captain Henry! His boat was beautiful, he was hospitable as well as social and gave us the best time. We can’t wait to book again with him.

Half Day Charter with Capt. Henry
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 24, 2023
So I never leave reviews, in fact this is my first, but thought this experience deserved one. My Nephew (20 Years old) and I (late 40’s) wanted to go fishing over Thanksgiving weekend. I googled local charters and came across Bahama Mama which is close to where we were located. Because we hatched this idea on Wednesday night, I called on Thanksgiving day expecting to leave a message and Captain Henry actually answered. From the start you could tell how passionate about fishing he is but more importantly how focused he was about ensuring we had a good experience. He asked all the right questions from the start. I have been fortunate to fish with some pretty incredible captains in the Northeast, Cabo, Northern Ontario as well as in the Haida Gwaii. Unfortunately, I have not had the same experience in south Florida until now. Don’t let age fool you because after 10 minutes on the boat and chatting it was clear his angling credentials stand with the best of them. However, what’s most important is we caught huge fish! For those who have fished with a good captain that’s the key, Capt henry delivered. So now onto the things that I would care about other than that: • Capt Henry is just simply a really nice guy. His demeanor on the boat was cool, collected and most importantly fun. • The boat is great, actually immaculate, and well taken care of. • The Gear was top notch, we flew kites off the back and trolled off the front. • I personally like center consoles for fishing but some are too small for big water, this boat is not.

Captain Henry absolutely crushed it on our half day charter trip! From the moment he picked us up at the dock, he did everything he could to make our trip awesome. We made the run out to prime fishing grounds and within minutes had lines in the water catching fish! Henry worked tirelessly keeping lines baited and in perfect position for the catch, and his efforts paid off with some serious action for our group of four. We caught a sailfish each (our target species), and hooked up on several others! Couldn't have been a better trip and was an outstanding experience all around. I have been on many charters of various types, and if you are looking to catch some big fish in great company, look no further than Captain Henry and the Bahama Mama! We know exactly who to call when we come back to the area. Thanks, Captain Henry!

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 8, 2023
My wife surprised me on a recent trip to southern Florida with an opportunity to charter a boat. My family (wife, 8-year-old son, and my 74-year-old father) had an amazing time. Henry provided the perfect experience for us. His skillfulness, polite and happy demeaner, and professionalism all combined to make for an ideal morning of fishing with the family. My wife just enjoyed the waves and sun, my father enjoyed the unique time with his family, and most importantly, my son and I enjoyed reeling in fish. I caught my first Sailfish at 45, my son at 8, he loved every minute on the boat, and Captain Henry made it fun and enjoyable the entire time. I could not recommend this trip more to anyone. Whether your primary focus is to slam fish, or to experience a new method of fishing in a unique environment, all your boxes are check on the Bahama Mama

Half Day trip with Captain Henry Dombrowski
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 2, 2023
I arranged for my wife, son and daughter-in-law to do a half day charter on the Bahama Mama. The ladies were reluctant at first but decided that the thrill of "tight lines" was worth it. The best indication of a great fishing guide is seeing how much they love to fish. As we approached the landing, we spied Henry with a rod and reel and live bait, trying to coax a big Snook out from under the dock! A great sign! Soon we were heading out to a spot just off of Boynton Beach, a short trip. Henry got us rigged up and we waited. It wasn't too long before my wife, who volunteered to take the first fish, was up. We had hooked a nice Sailfish and she fought it for about 15 minutes, She landed it and the smile on her face was priceless. Soon we all had a fish to wrestle to the boat, We had our first "double" and then another! To say that Henry works hard is an understatement! He was running to and fro, helping coach us on how to reel in the Big Sailfish we had on the line. Then back to wheel to move the boat to enable us to bring these fish in. Always with great enthusiasm and a big smile. None if us had been deep sea fishing before, Henry made it easy for all. And he knew where to find the fish! We caught 7 Sailfish in under 4 hours of fishing! Unbelievable Best of all, everyone, especially the ladies, had the experience of a lifetime. My wife said she was so glad that she had come with, and was still talking about the experience days later. If you are looking for a great guide, Henry is your man. Fun, engaging, helpful, enthusiastic, hard working. I look forward to chartering with Henry again next year.
