We had an absolute blast on our trip with Chubasco Charters! From the very beginning, Capt. Mike was incredibly professional and quick to respond to all of our inquiries, making the booking and planning process seamless. The logistics were a breeze—he picked us up and dropped us off within easy walking distance from Atlantis, which was super convenient. The day had a bit of a slow start, but Capt. Mike didn't give up. He remained determined, kept searching for the fish, and his expertise paid off big time. We ended the trip on a massive high note with everyone in our group catching barracudas plus some! A huge shoutout to his deckhand, Lunkie, who was fantastic throughout the entire charter. He was extremely helpful, worked to keep the boat clean and safe, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. We had an unforgettable time and will definitely be booking with Capt. Mike and Chubasco Charters again in the future. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the great review. It's very much appreciated. It was a pleasure having you on board and we hope to fish with you again sometime.
We had a fantastic trip with Captain Mike. from the moment we booked until we docked the boat, everything was perfect. He communicated as soon as we booked the trip, and laid out our options. the day of the trip, he picked us up on time and was ready to fish. we had a short ride to our spot and then the lines were in the water. We caught multiple Wahoo. The boat was clean, the gear was all in working order, and they filleted our fish to take as we were driving back. I've done multiple fishing trips. They do everything correctly and I will book with him again on our next trip to the Bahamas.
Thanks for the great review and amazing photos. It was a pleasure having you on board. We hope to fish with you again at some future date.
We had a great time with Capt Charlton. He seemed to be very knowledgeable of where the fish were. We caught a couple of nice Mahi Mahi and a tuna. We would definitely book again with this charter.
Thanks for the great review. We're glad we could get you the species you were hoping for.
Captain Mike and his mate Loki were awesome. We all caught fish and enjoyed the banter. A group of 8 and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a day on the water.
Thanks for the great review. It was a pleasure having you on board.
Even with the windier weather and slightly rough seas, everything about our trip was great. They made the entire booking experience seemless and easy. We caught fish. We had lots of fun. They cooked our catch. The captain and mate were excellent. I highly recommend!
Thanks for the great review. We enjoyed having you on board.
