Great experience. Highly recommend! - Our family joined captain Bobo and D on the boat in mid March. We had a great time and they customized our 1/2 day charter. He accommodated all of our requests. With his knowledge of the good fishing spots that date back to his grandfathers days on the same waters, we had a very successful day! We will definitely be back to charter a full day when we can head to the Bahamas!

Awesome time with Captain Bobo and Chris - This was our second time renting a boat with Captain Bobo on Sitting Pretty. The boat is great and the Captain and crew were awesome (again). We fished for about an hour (caught 2 Barracuda), snorkled at a reef, saw amazing sea turtles, and even swam to Gilligan’s island for a look around. Would highly recommend!!

FISH ON!! - Captain Bobo and Chris were great!!! Very personable and welcoming! They are very experienced and if you're wanting to really catch some fish go with them!!! Chris worked constantly keeping the lines in the water with good fresh bait, repairing any lines as needed, providing instructions and assistance when/if needed and keeping the boat clean. Bobo continued to direct the boat to al the right places. Bobo knows where to go for the fish -based on local outcomes and the season. He was flexible - half way through our trip asked if we wanted to continue to fish or head over to snorkeling. We elected to keep fishing as we were catching so much! FISH ON!!! Then when time to head back- Bobo choose to take the longer way back because it would be calmer waters. He did this for one of our family member who was struggling with motion sickness. Could not have asked for a bitter experience. If ever back here WILL go with them again!!

Water Adventure Your Way - We booked the half day private charter. I had an ambitious goal of fishing, snorkeling with turtles as well as the reef. Captain Bobo and Chris were more than up to the challenge. We spent the first couple of hours trolling in the gorgeous waters a mile or so off shore. We caught 3 barracuda and one other fish. Though none were recommended for cooking, my wife had a blast reeling them in. Those barracuda put up a fight for a smaller fish. From there we headed to Green Turtle Cay. It was amazing to see sea turtles in their natural habitat. Even more impressive though was the reef experience. It was literally like being in an aquarium. Hundreds of diverse fish in every direction. As a bonus on the way back we even stopped at Gilligan's Island and walked around the remains of the buildings that once stood. It was everything we hoped for a private charter and I highly recommend if you want to do the ocean your way in the Bahamas.

Great experience, amazing service! - This day was by far the best one of our entire trip! Bobo and his skipper Chris were so fun and very professional. They clearly know the island well and took us to the best place to snorkel. We saw some really cool fish! The crew seemed to genuinely care that our group was having a good time. After the boat, I realized I had left my Apple Watch on it by accident and when I went to contact them, they had already sent me an email stating they have it and asking how they could get it back to me. Unfortunately I had already travelled back to Canada so Krystianna in their head office worked with me to coordinate an international shipment of it to me. I can't thank her enough for her help and patience! I would highly recommend this company and crew! Thanks, Born Free!!

Great fishing experience - Captain Bobo and Chris were awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We didn’t have to do much except for reel in the catch, they do all the hard work for you. Chris keeps a keen eye on the lines and know when it hits. They also took us to a wonderful reef for snorkeling, it’s a completely different world on the reefs!
