All About Bahamas Fishing Charters Experience

By Kerri Stout


Fishing is loved by all people, and Bahamas is loved by all great fishermen for its fish. Bahamas fishing charters are booked to make the trip possible. Hiring a fishing carter is really easy, all you have to do is make a call to the captain. In addition, do not worry about fishing gear like tackles and baits as the captain will ensure their availability. Besides, he or she will also plan your meet point.

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.

Phone numbers of captains are available so that you are able to call and talk about your trip. Tell them about your expectations and the number of people accompanying you. In addition ask all questions that you may have on your mind such as the best weather or time. Captains are licensed by the USCG so you do need not be worried of your safety. In addition, they are subject to random drug tests.

Vessels have to be maintained and serviced regularly. Vessels carrying six people or less should be able to pass the state inspection test. Those carrying seven or more people should operate with a license from the US Coast Guard. In most states, any one over fifteen years is required to have a license in order to fish. Most boats sell licenses on board. For some others you have to purchase elsewhere.

Charter boats can be hired by whole families, groups or even individuals. In addition, some may provide services for the handicapped. Specialized boats are available for families with children. The young ones are provided with tackles that are not heavy and are taught how to catch fish. The young ones are under the guidance and supervision of staff so that the parents also get to fish.

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.

The trip will require cameras, medication for sea sickness, sunglasses and sunscreen. After the trip, your fish will be cleaned and packaged for you by the captain. Or if you prefer it sent later it will be shipped. Get the right charter boat for a memorable trip.
