While we chartered the “Strike Zone” several months in advance for a deep sea fishing trip in Nassau, we did not get to fish on this boat. On the day of our trip, we arrived at the predetermined pickup area. About 15 minutes after the pickup time had passed an older boat arrived at the dock. I approached the boat and was informed that this was the boat I would be fishing on as my chartered boat “Strike Zone’ was unavailable. No prior notice was given and no further explanation of why the boat I paid for was not available.
We did get to fish on the substitute boat. We had a hook up & lost a small marlin and then caught 1 small Mahi-Mahi. That was the extent of the fishing trip.

Be aware that this is not the first time this “Switch” has happened to us in Nassau.

it was fine. we felt the equipment was a little rough but other than that the captain was good. first mate needs to slow down when speaking. I think he got frustrated with us but we could not understand him. all in all it was good

I would recommend this charter

The whole trip was misrepresented.
1. No air conditioned cabin.
2. They said fish were biting until we got out, then said nobody was catching anything.
3. Made my deposit with a charge card. When we got out, they wanted cash for the balance.
4. No attempt to miss or work with chop in water.
5. No fish, No fish, No fish.
Absolutely will not do that again. Even told another couple NOT to do it. A LOT of money for water and sodas.

Our captain was only interested in texting on his phone and smoking cigarettes. Boat had no ac/ was in total disrepair. Toilet didn’t work

Having been a long time fisherman myself including having a brother who was in the Alaskan fishing charter business, Hunter Charters is by far the worst fishing charter business I have ever encountered.  From dealing with the Captain who gave us information to meet the boat at the Bay Shore Marina, when in fact, the boat was at the Straw Market dock to having a filthy, unsanitary boat (urine and feces water in the toilet), no soap or paper towels to dry hands, and a drape placed on the floor to the toilet entrance to sop up leaking water.  The crew took us out in extremely choppy waters, there was only one fighting chair and hardly any place to stand in the back of the boat for 6 people. The boat was not the one we reserved and had long seen better days of servicing fishermen, as the inner decor was dated, stained, torn furniture and a refrigerator door closed by a igloo. The crew displayed hardly any interest in fishing and upon returning demanded their balance payment in cash only, contrary to the website booking saying credit cards could be used.  They had no paperwork to verify who were and proceeded to charge us a larger balance than owed. Lucky for us we had our paperwork and were able verify what we owed. And on a last note, the crew made no effort to clean our fish and they left with the paltry catch we had.  Beware all fishermen surely there are better places in the Bahamas!
