All About Bahamas Fishing Charters Experience

By Kerri Stout


The Bahamas is one of the best places to go to fish, and who does not like fishing? Bahamas fishing charters are available for hire to facilitate this trip. To book a fishing carter, call the captain to schedule your trip. Fishing gear such as rods, bait and tackle will be provided by the chartering company. The captain will also organize your meeting place.

There are two types of charter boats to choose from. Those that have all the supplies you need as well as the crew are known as voyage charters. The other type is known as bare boats and in this case all you hire is a mere boat. No supplies and no crew, you have to use your own. Only those who demonstrate competency in running of the boat can hire it.

Captains give their numbers so that potential customers are able to personally ask about their trips. Talk to the captain about expectation and ask about the trip information like dates and suitable weather. Remember boat captains require a license from the Coast Guard to operate. They are also tested for drugs on a random basis to ensure safety.

Vessels too have to have a license. Those carrying less than six people have to pass the tests by state inspection. Those with more than seven passengers operate only after a license has been issued from the US Coast Guard. In addition, the vessels are maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Everyone who goes to fish should be licensed with an exception of minors aged fifteen or less. You may find most boats selling these licenses on board at a small fee. For others, they do not sell and you have to buy elsewhere.

Individuals, families and groups may hire charter boats. You may also find special boats for the handicapped. Families with children may also hire a boat that takes the children into consideration. The parents have a chance to enjoy fishing while the children are taught and guided by the staff. Small tackles are availed for them so that they can take part.

If you are looking to just cruise around the ocean in a really comfortable way and may be catch a few fish, then you may want to hire a luxury vessel. They are equipped with all the comforts such that it feels like home away from home. They have satellite TVs and radios, living quarters, movies, ice makers and everything you will need for the trip.

Parties, corporate fishing tournaments all will require you to book a vessel. A company that seeks to reward its employees through a fishing trip will also find them handy. The trips will be planned to accommodate the schedule and other plans of the team. They will be provided conferencing facilities, lunch boxes among others.

For the trip, bring a camera, sunscreen, sunglasses and medication for motion sickness. After catching the fish, the captain will clean and package it for you to take home. It can as well be shipped to you. Remember, you do not need experience to experience fun, but you definitely need the right boat.
