Fishing in the Bahamas, dont miss out! - The best time ever! Captain Willy picked us up and 28 minutes later we had a 6ft marlin on the line. It took an hour to get him in and Willy did an amazing job of helping along the way. The water was amazing and the experience was incredible. After catching the marlin Willy took us to a different area to bottom fish, my wife who has never fished in her life caught about 20 of the most incredibly beautiful fish we have ever seen. Of course Willy baited her hook and took the fish off for her! If you are going to Nassau, take 4 hours out of your trip to go fishing with Willy! IF you want to save some money, look them up and book directly, the resorts (Sandals) tacked on another $350 for arranging it......

10/10 recommend! - this was our first fishing charter experience in Nassau and we will be back! We caught several yellow fin tuna from 30lb - 50lb! Our guides were incredible and we had so much fun. Can’t recommend enough.

Willie is the best - Following a bad experience w Bo Bo and Freddie, they asked us for another chance with Willie and it was nothing short of UNREAL! No big fish but we did bottom fishing where we caught over 15 fish! Willie filleted each one and we took it back to our hotel to cook! If you are doing a fishing trip, ask for WILLIE and he WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! Great fisherman even better person! It was great getting to know him! We hope his son’s date went well! We will definitely be using them for future trips!

Great Fishing trip - Born Free Charters was recommended from our hotel Concierge at the Baha Mar, booking was really easy , I just called and told them I wanted to do some deep sea fishing and bottom fishing for half day and they got us a time on a 34ft boat called the Free Spirit. I got an email with detailed instructions on what to bring (a towel, your reservation, sun screen) where to find the boat, etc. They have online waiver form and payment so we didn’t have to do anything when we arrived except let them know we were there and they took us directly to the boat. Our captain was Willie and he was very knowledgeable about the Bahamas, gave us a really smooth ride , and was an excellent fisherman , we caught a ton of fish and we really had a blast. He had sodas, beers, waters on board, but if you want more alcohol bring your own cooler. There was a toilet on the boat, plenty of dry storage for your items. You can bring your fish off the boat with you or leave them with the captain. Taxi ride was about $25 each way from Baha Mar to Paradise Island ferry dock right next to Margaritaville . There are taxis everywhere , just make sure it’s clearly labeled Taxi and has yellow taxi license plate. The deep sea fishing is only about 15 minutes from the dock and you are trolling really quickly , you never leave sight of the island and the water was beautiful.

Best fishing trip EVA!! - Last month I chartered a Boat with Capt. BObO and First Mate Freddy... I was solo due to my bud not feeling well... but that didn’t matter, BOBO kicked on the tunes while Freddy chatted it up with me about everything Bohemian. I caught three big Barracuda and one slob of a Red Snapper! BObO put us on the fish and Freddy made damn sure I landed them!!! It was an awesome day - I didn’t feel alone at all and they made the fishing trip an experience I’ll never forget! Every time I come back I plan on hiring them! Thanks BObO and Freddy for the awesome Day! You guys are the best! That red snapper my boys - tasted amazing when Curly fried it up! Cheers Bros! 👊🏼💪🏼🙌🏼

Flying the Blue Flag - We had an awesome time with Captain Herby and Bruno! They we so much fun and we had a great time fishing!!! Best part was Valerie catching a Blue Marlin!!! They were so excited for her and then they got to boast by flying the “Blue Marlin Flag”. I would highly recommend this company for your trip! Thanks again to our crew and Nick Bender for helping us make great memories

A must do!! - I can’t say enough good things about this trip. Willie was our captain and he was AMAZING! My son absolutely loved him and said he was the best! We went fishing, snorkeled with beautiful sea turtles and then went to a reef with a bunch of fish: perfect way to spend a day. Willow cleaned the fish we caught and if you bring it to margaritaville they will cook it for you. Definitely a must do when in Nassau.
