Private 46 hour offshore fishing adventure for up to 5 guestsTarget pelagic species including MahiMahi, Wahoo, and TunaExperienced crew provides guidance with highperformance fishing gear
Get ready to battle some serious pelagic species in the deep blue waters off Nassau. This 4-6 hour private charter puts you right where the big fish live, targeting trophy Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna that'll test your drag and give you stories to tell for years. With Island Time Charters, you're getting a crew that knows these waters like the back of their hand and gear that can handle whatever decides to eat your bait. We're talking fast runs, screaming reels, and the kind of adrenaline rush that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
Your day starts with a quick run to the blue water where the thermoclines hold bait and the pelagics hunt. We're not talking about a lazy day of bottom fishing here - this is high-speed trolling at its finest. Our boat covers serious ground, hitting multiple spots where the current breaks and fish stack up. You'll feel the difference the moment we clear the reef and hit that deep cobalt blue. The crew sets up a spread of lures designed to trigger strikes from fast-moving predators, and when something hits, everyone on board knows it. The rods are rigged with quality reels that can handle long runs, and our experienced captain reads the water like a book. Expect to move around throughout the day, following temperature breaks, weed lines, and bird activity that signal feeding fish below. This isn't a charter where you sit in one spot hoping something swims by - we hunt for fish actively.
Deep-sea trolling is an art form, and our crew has it dialed in. We run a spread of four to six lines at varying distances, using a mix of skirted lures, diving plugs, and rigged ballyhoo. The outriggers keep lines separated while we cruise at 6-8 knots, covering water efficiently. Our tackle setup includes 30-50 pound class rods matched with high-capacity reels loaded with fresh line. When targeting Wahoo, we'll often bump up the trolling speed to 12+ knots since these fish prefer fast-moving baits. The boat's electronics help us locate temperature breaks and bait schools, while the crew constantly adjusts lure positions based on conditions. You'll learn to read the different ways each rod tip moves - the steady pull of a Mahi versus the violent strike of a Wahoo. Fighting techniques vary by species too; Tuna require steady pressure and patience, while Mahi tend to jump and require a different approach. Our crew coaches you through each fight, helping you maximize your chances of boating every fish that eats.
The pelagic species around Nassau offer some of the most exciting fishing in the Caribbean. Mahi-Mahi, also called Dolphinfish, are absolute crowd pleasers with their brilliant gold and green colors and acrobatic fights. These fish travel in schools, so when you hook one, there's often more around. They typically range from 10-30 pounds in these waters, though bulls can push 40+ pounds. Spring through fall offers the best action, with fish moving through following warm water and sargassum weed lines. What makes Mahi special is their willingness to eat almost anything and their spectacular jumping ability once hooked.
Wahoo represent the speed demons of the deep, capable of runs that'll smoke your drag in seconds. These torpedo-shaped predators can hit 60+ mph and regularly reach 30-60 pounds in Bahamian waters. They prefer cooler months from November through March, though fish are present year-round. Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth and incredible acceleration, making the initial strike absolutely violent. Their meat is prized by chefs worldwide, with a texture similar to tuna but milder flavor. Landing a quality Wahoo is considered a trophy catch by serious offshore anglers.
Yellowfin Tuna might just be the ultimate test of angler versus fish. These powerful swimmers can exceed 100 pounds and fight with relentless determination. They're most active during winter months when cooler water temperatures bring them closer to Nassau. Tuna fights are marathons, not sprints - expect 30-45 minute battles with fish that simply refuse to quit. Their stamina is legendary, often taking multiple runs to the depths before finally coming to boat. The reward is some of the finest sashimi-grade meat in the ocean and bragging rights that last a lifetime.
This world-class offshore fishing experience accommodates up to 5 anglers, making it perfect for serious fishing groups who want the boat to themselves. No sharing with strangers, no compromising on fishing spots - just you, your crew, and some of the best pelagic fishing the Bahamas has to offer. The flexible 4-6 hour timeframe means we can adjust based on fish activity and weather conditions. Early morning departures typically produce the best results, but afternoon trips can be equally productive depending on conditions. Book with Island Time Charters and you're getting local knowledge, top-rated equipment, and the kind of personalized service that turns good fishing days into legendary ones. Don't wait - the fish are biting and prime dates fill up fast, especially during peak season.
This 36' restored Cigarette center console is built for serious offshore fishing action.

The boat comfortably handles up to 6 anglers with plenty of room to fight big fish without getting tangled up. You'll have everything needed for a productive day on the water - GPS to navigate to the hotspots, fish finder to locate the action below, and an icebox to keep your catch fresh and drinks cold. There's even a head onboard for longer trips. This setup is perfect for deep-sea trolling where covering water quickly makes all the difference between going home empty-handed or with a cooler full of quality fish. Fast, stable, and equipped for battle.
