Hunter Charters – 38’ Mornin' Ride
+16Enjoy your day on the beautiful blue Bahamian waters off the coast of Nassau with Hunter Charters! Join Captain Paul Smith who’ll take you on a memorable adventure. He’s been fishing in this area for over 30 years, having spent the last 10 growing his fishing charter fleet, which is now comprised of 4 vessels.
His boat, the Mornin’ Ride, is a 38’ Hatteras offshore sportfishing vessel, with a capacity of 7 anglers per trip. It is air-conditioned and features a toilet and shower on board. There’s also a single fighting chair among the boat’s amenities, to help you maximize your chances of reeling in any larger fish that may strike your bait.
Capt. Paul will provide you with all the fishing equipment your group requires, along with artificial bait for the trip. After a productive day of fishing these abundant waters, he’ll be happy to clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home for a nice dinner.
Depending on the season, you’ll troll the deep waters and run the reefs in pursuit of a variety of species that call these waters their home. Expect to run into creatures like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, Barracuda, Snapper, Grouper, Marlin, and Sailfish.
Feel free to take your whole family on a great adventure. Pack your kids and teach them all about fishing on a trip they’ll always remember! Make sure to bring some food and drinks to stay refreshed throughout the day, as well as some sun protection so you can relax.
Explore the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, and make some lifelong memories with Hunter Charters!

Great trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 9, 2025
Trip was great. Able to get a good amount of fishing in even for a half day trip, brought in some black fin tuna then the captain brought us back in to fish the reef so my kids could get some time on the reels. Bruno kept a clean boat, he was Johnny on the spot with baiting/ casting and taking fish off the lines. I’d book with them again for sure, would do the full day next time.

Hunter Charters rocks!
3/4 Day Trip on May 19, 2025
Hunter Chartes was a great trip, they picked us up promptly with the Lady Jenny. The captain and mate were friendly and inviting. They showed us everything they were doing and explained why and treated us like family, we booked the 6hr deep sea fishing trip and would do it again. Unfortunately our phones were not working in another country so we never brought them for pictures.
