Sunshine Charters operates out of Nassau, Bahamas, and specializes in nearshore reef fishing and deep sea fishing at the area's most productive fishing grounds. This charter is ideal both for anglers looking for their next trophy and those after their first taste of the local angling action.
Their vessel is 48' Hatteras offshore sport fishing boat, originally built in 1980, and restored as recently as 2017. It's powered by twin 450 HP GM engines and features all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern sportfisher. Nearshore trips are suitable for groups of up to 15 people while offshore adventures can take a maximum of 10 guests.
These waters are famous for their wealth of fish and diversity of species. This means that the list of possible targets stays quite long regardless of the time of your visit. Whether you're bottom fishing or trolling, each time that rod bends, there's a chance you'll be surprised by what you hooked.
Fishing gear, baits, and tackle are all taken care of and will be waiting for you when you come aboard. This includes world-class Shimano rods and reels, and top-notch artificials. Snorkeling equipment is also always available for anyone looking to peek below the waves.
Also included in the price are fishing licenses, water, sodas, and catch cleaning. For those interested in spearfishing, a professional guide can be arranged ahead of the trip – for a small additional fee. All you should bring are some food, any additional drinks you'd like, sunscreen and sunglasses.
Once you have this taken care of, all you'll have to focus on is being ready when the drag starts to scream!

Kevin MarkwoodRepeat angler5.0Verifiedawesome trip
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 13, 2026 • 10 adults • 3 childrenhad a group of 8 on trip my grandsons age 10 and 6 were the main reason for this trip I had told captain Benson all that I cared about was them catching fish and that we did ! this was a scheduled 4 hour trip from 12 ro 4 but we were on a cruise so our schedule needed to be adjusted a little any other charter I've had elsewhere it was 4 hrs from sight of boat to tail lights leaving. we met captain Benson at the pier at 1130 and around 4 pm I had to tell him we needed to go unless he wanted to haul us to Bimini I swear we could have fished all night if we wanted too. so thankful to him and his first mate for an awesome trip. we will return
John CollinsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic trip with Captain Benson
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 2026 • 10 adultsFrom the time we arrived at the dock until the end of the charter everything was top notch. Captain took us to 3 different spots and was quick to move when the fish stopped hitting. His crew was fantastic helping the younger anglers with less experience. Great day on the water and next time we are in Nassau will be booking with Captain Benson!
Chris Rothlingshofer5.0Verifiedawesome day
Full Day Trip on September 1, 2026 • 4 adultswe really enjoyed our day on the water with Captain Benson. Recommend him anytime although we didn’t catch any tune or a Maui Maui like we had hoped they put us on some bottom fish and we still had a great time.

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 1, 2025 • 6 adults • 4 childrenHad an incredible time on the fishing charter! The staff and captains were amazing—super friendly, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. We caught tons of fish and made some unforgettable memories. Highly recommend for a fun family adventure on the water!
Brandon HanksRepeat angler2.3VerifiedBad Experience
Full Day Trip on July 8, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe booked an 8 hour trip in hopes of a day of fun. It was the exact opposite. The captain clearly did not have good fishing spots he only put us on the same species of fish (2) and everything was small. One of the workers on the boat said the guy doesnt know what hes doing and we should have gone sonewhere else and to not book him next time. We paid this guy 2K for a $50 experience. we got robbed!
Alec Geist5.0VerifiedVery Kid Friendly.
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 23, 2026 • 7 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Benson was fantastic with our group of seven, including the kids. He was patient, kept everyone engaged, and made sure every single person got a chance to reel something in. He clearly knows these waters and put us right on the fish. The boat was clean and comfortable, and he handled all the bait and rigging so the kids could just enjoy the action. A great day on the water. If you’re visiting Nassau with family, book with Sunshine Charters — you won’t regret it.”
Brian Klippenstein5.0VerifiedCan-do Captain Benson Team
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 29, 2025 • 7 adultsOur family had a blast. The scenery is spectacular but Captain and crew even moreso. Despite difficult conditions ok the water, the crew worked tirelessly to find us fish. In particular, we just loved the big fun personalities of rhe Captain and crew. They were not only professional but helpful and delightful. When we return, we will dedinately hope to rejoin them.
Jeffrey Fenn4.0VerifiedStorm came up and our four hours turned into three hours.
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 16, 2026 • 12 adults • 1 childCaptain did not discount our four hour trip as it was only three hours because of rain. He returned after 3 hours and charged for four hours. First mate cut up our catch and asked if the ones that he fileted was enough, as there were 12 of us and it looked like about five fish, we asked him to filet the others too. Our catch was about eight edible fish. However, Captain Benson and his crew did a good job other than no discount. It was still a nice trip. Thank you,
Hugo Salcido5.0Verifiedoutstanding trip!!!
