Bahamas Fishing Charters

Nassau Fishing
If you're visiting Nassau Bahamas and are looking to land that trophy fish, then look no further. The fishing off of Nassau Bahamas is excellent year round.

Whether you're visiting by cruise ship or staying the week, we can get you out on the water and having you in the captains chair in no time.

Nassau is conveniently located close to the continental shelf so you don't have to run hours to start dropping lines in the water, it takes only minutes.

This means you'll maximize your experience by getting in a full 4 or 8 hours of fishing. Our charters are centrally located at the Nassau Yacht Haven and the Hurricane Hole Marina.

Cruise ships guest don't need to worry about not being able to fish because our charters will meet you at the Downtown Marina next to the cruise ship terminal.

Paradise Island Fishing
If you're visiting Paradise Island in Nassau Bahamas and are looking to land that trophy fish, then look no further. The fishing off of Paradise Island is excellent year round.

For guest staying at the Atlantis, RIU or any other hotel on Paradise Island our charters are conveniently located close to your hotel. Because Paradise Island is so close to the continental shelf our charters only have to run out 15 - 20 minutes in order to start dropping lines in the water.

Bahamas Bonefishing
If there is one type of fishing experience that is synonymous with the Bahamas, it's bonefishing. These small but powerful shallow water fish are considered pound-for-pound one of the fastest and strongest saltwater fish in the world. This makes it a great challenge for any angler willing to test their skill and patience.

The shallow water reefs and cays that surround the Bahamas make it a perfect backdrop for bonefishing. While many anglers are familiar with bonefishing in the Bahamian islands of Andros and Eleuthera, it's a well known fact that bonefishing in Freeport Grand Bahama, Nassau Bahamas and Paradise Island is just as good, if not better.

Our bonefishing guides are considered some of the best bonefishing guides in the Bahamas, with several bonefishing tournament titles to their name. It doesn't matter if you're an experienced fly fisherman or novice looking to land them bones, our captains will go the extra mile to ensure you have a great time.

Paradise Island and Nassau are geographically situated southeast of Florida and there is always calm water for fishing. With any strong winds from the north light tackle fishing over the reefs on the south side is great with lots of action. You will catch barracuda, yellow tail snappers, Spanish mackerel, and muttonfish and a variety of other species.

Otherwise you can fish in the ocean on the north side. You would be fishing the continental shelf one-fourth mile away from land where the seabed drops off to 3000 to 5000 feet. Here you will hook into Wahoo, tuna, dolphin (mahi-mahi), kingfish, and assorted billfish. After your encounter with your fish you can choose to bring it into the boat or release it. Get it mounted by world famous Gray Taxidermy of Pompano Beach, Florida or have a great dinner. Some of our local restaurants will be happy to prepare your fish for your great dinner party.
