Was not very beginner friendly, and the fishing gear was subpar.

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!

We were 2 experienced fishing guys and we feel like we got treated like the family just wanting the kids to see a fish. You can’t control nature but for the captain to believe that we’d be happy catching 6” fish means he wasn’t listening when he asked us what we wanted to do. It means he met the requirement, we caught fish. At 1 point he put the big rod out and had 2 big hits on live grunts, CLEARLY it excited us, instead of working that harder he put it away. He also seemed pretty cheap with the bait and chum.

Just average trip. Totally over priced. Only Fish for little while.  First place dry.  Next place a few little hits.  Would have thought they knew a few other places.  Crew was just ok

Horrible. Literally said two words to us the entire time. Told the ‘captain’ that we wanted to do all kids of fishing so he set up 4 poles, baited them once and let them fish for four hours. We drove two hours out to sea and two hours back to the dock only to have a ‘sorry, fishing isn’t good today’. They sat in the front in the shade while we were only allowed the back in the sun. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Horrible experience for $700 for two people.
