Get Bent Charters - 55' Gunner
Get Bent Charters - 55' Gunner
Get Bent Charters operates out of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, creating unique packages where you call the shots. They have the equipment and the know-how to offer a wealth of water-based activities, from offshore battles against big game pelagics like Blue Marlin and Yellowfin Tuna, to inshore pleasure cruises spent petting Stingrays, diving for Lobsters, and swimming in the crystal clear Caribbean Sea.
Whatever you choose to do on your day with your day, there is no better place to do it than aboard the 'Gunner', Get Bent Charters 55 ft Ocean Yacht flybridge boat. This classic vessel offers everything you would expect for a day in the lap of luxury, including a spacious, air-conditioned interior with an enclosed head, cabin, galley, full surround sound system complete with exterior speakers, free wifi, Netflix, and plenty of space to relax in cool and comfort when you are done sunbathing on her spacious flybridge.
Do not be fooled by her luxury finish, though, the Gunner is named so for a reason. At heart she is still a fully-fledged fishing machine, ready to do battle on the high seas against the biggest and baddest the ocean can throw at you. She comes equipped with the latest Furuno electronics, a fighting chair, downriggers, outriggers, a livewell full to bursting with fresh live bait, and tournament grade tackle from the likes of Penn International.
With such a wide range of target species, you would expect Get Bent Charters to provide a range of different tackle options, and you would be right! On each trip, you will be presented with 5lb spinning rods all the way up to 80lb two-speed outfits, and the option to spin, jig, troll, drift and bottom fish, as well as trying your luck with traditional Caymanian handlining.
Whatever you choose to do, there truly is no better place to do it, so get ready for the trip of your dreams, and be sure to bring a camera, because these are memories you will treasure for the rest of your life!

Half Day Trip Deep Sea on March 16, 2023 • 7 adultsWonderful time during our half day trip. It was a windy day but they put us on some trees fish. The crew was so friendly and attentive.
Jacob JohnsonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat morning on the water
Half Day Trip Deep Sea on June 19, 2022 • 7 adults • 3 childrenWe had a great time today. Although there wasn’t much biting, it wasn’t without trying. The boat was great! Crew was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Can’t wait to get back down here and try it again.

Half Day (afternoon) Deep Sea on August 7, 2019 • 8 adultsCaptain Nick called a hour prior to our scheduled departure and said that the reports for the week and morning had been Very light and if we wanted our deposit back we could cancel. We decided to make our own luck and with the help of captain Nick we caught two wahoo and a mahi mahi a total of over 70lbs of figh!! Needless to say we dined on some amazing fish that night!! When we come back there is no other company we use before Get Bent!
Patrick PaddockRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFull day trip with Captain Nick on the GUNNER
Full Day Trip Deep Sea on May 23, 2019 • 4 adultsEven though the weather did not cooperate, and we had to battle angry seas, Nick and his crew made the trip very memorable. This young but knowledgeable and enthusiastic crew made sure that I caught my 8’ 175lb Blue Marlin despite the conditions. Only Marlin caught that day I’m told by locals, who all seem to be dialed in to who did what on the water. Highly recommend you give Captain Nick and his brother a shot to cross off your bucket list!!
Joseph Morris5.0Verified3/4 Day Trip with Captains Matt and Nick aboard Gunner
3/4 Day Trip Deep Sea on April 6, 2018 • 10 adultsI am a former sport fishing boat captain and have had the pleasure of fishing just about everywhere in the Western Hemisphere and with some of the best crews. This was a trip that my two buddies and I booked for our son's (ages 8, 10 and13) prior to heading to Grand Cayman for vacation. The Gunner (Get Bent Charters) came very highly recommended and let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. This was an incredible trip....the boat was well-stocked, air conditioned (HUGE plus on a hot day) and the crew was beyond professional and very accommodating. The kids all caught Mahi's but we also landed a blackfin tuna and wahoo to finish the inshore ("kid") Grand Slam. Loved the wi-fi on the boat - kept me in touch with the office and the kids loved the satellite TV for the few short moments of down time in-between bites. I will definitely be returning to Grand Cayman and will MOST CERTAINLY book these guys again....I recommend that you do as well. Also, take your catch to Tukka Restaurant on the east side....they also treat you like kings.
Chad SmithRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip from start to finish with get bent
Full Day Trip Deep Sea on February 11, 2019 • 4 adultsFrom the first contact captain nick was great. He was immediately interested in what my family wanted to do. He offers a customized trip and will go and do whatever the client wants. We worked out all the details before the day and then he was malleable during the trip and we had a great time. We caught a great marlin and overall had the best time. I recommend him highly.
Scott Smith5.0VerifiedFantastic Excellent Service and great fun!
3/4 Day Trip Deep Sea on August 2, 2017 • 5 adultsNick and Matthew get five stars! I took my two teenage daughters, wife and mother in-law out on this fishing trip. Like most folks I was nervous with having all my girls on the boat in the beginning but after about 10 minutes I was at ease. These two guys were so patient , respectful, and so kind to deal with. The boat ran great and was clean. Mathew was a great driver and Nick got us on the fish. We enjoyed our trip so much on Wednesday we booked another on Friday. Nick had 11 lines in the water, That right 11 LINES, on day two we were catching and releasing because we caught fish early! The bottom line is they're honest and totally respectful of all of our needs. Thanks Again GET BENT ! GREAT JOB PS We would of had a Blue Marlin but I made some rookie mistakes reeling in. Oh the one that got away. That was on me not them. lol. Thanks Again
Brian J Engel5.0Verified3/4 day Trip Amazing
3/4 Day Trip Deep Sea on November 26, 2017 • 7 adultsCaptain was VERY accommodating. Crew was second to none. Had a great day out. Sandwiches and other food trays were a much needed for the long day. Would definitely book with them again. If I could have gave them 10 stars I would have. I knew it was late in the season for the Marlin but he did try which I appreciated. Captain even arranged the restaurant to cook the catch.

We enjoyed the entire experience on a nice boat with great crew! our son caught a fish and really enjoying yed the experience. The two brithers who ran the boat were great. Everyone enjoyed the trip. We plan to book and ther charter with the same company in the near future. The are very knowledgeable and enjy teaching novices. the boat was well equipped and in goid condition.
Wonderful time during our half day trip. It was a windy day but they put us on some trees fish. The crew was so friendly and attentive.
We had a great time today. Although there wasn't much biting, it wasn't without trying. The boat was great! Crew was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Can't wait to get back down here and try it again.
We didn't catch anything on our full day offshore, but it wasn't from a lack of the crew trying. The crew was fun to be around, and burned fuel looking for fish. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
