MUST DO experience in the Bahamas! - Absolutely wonderful experience. Went with a party of 9 for our 2nd year with Captain D! He is the best as always, and so was the young gentleman Jonté (?) which are both pictured with us. Lighthearted, funny, but professional gentleman who prioritized safety first and fun. Boat amenities and drinks were of excellent quality, and both Captain D and Jonté ensured cleanliness as well as the health and safety of our party. D made sure that all our time was spent on maximum fun activities of our choosing. 100% will be going again on a charter! Thank you to both of those men for allowing us to have such a wonderful experience!

3rd time was a charm, but so were the first two! - Dee and the crew were amazing! Our 3rd year in a row reserving an all-day charter. Boat and scenery are great, but it’s the Free Time crew that has us coming back time and time again. Great laughs and wonderful personality!

Best boat day ever! - This charter was excellent! We are traveling as a family with young adult children and we all had a wonderful time. We enjoyed snorkeling, beach time and fishing. Our crew, Tyson and Cal were so accommodating, kind and helpful. They made sure everything we did was done safely while having fun. I also appreciated how communicative the office staff was with our trip and my questions. We would definitely book them again.

Bahama Snorkeling - Everything about this tour worked. Captain D and his mate were sincerely accommodating throughout the entire trip. My granddaughter and I did snorkeling while Shanaana stayed aboard. We visited a turtle viewing spot and spent a pleasant half-hour at a beach with more snorkeling. A highlight of the trip was cruising past homes of favorite celebrities including Chuck, Norris. Michael Bloomfield. Oprah and others.

The Free Time Crew rocks! - Our favorite experience by far in the Bahamas! Captain Dee, Juante, and Lauren were a blast, easy to talk to, and great with our 9 and 10 year old boys. We caught tons of fish, saw some sea turtles, and snorkeled. 💯 would recommend! Thank you for the awesome adventure!

Born Free Charters is the way to go!! - Kyris & Collin were awesome! They knew the best spots to go. Packed in snorkeling, deep sea fishing, and seeing sea turtles into a 4 hour trip! Cannot recommend them enough!

Only Charter I’d Ever Choose! - Simply the best crew - Captain Dee, Juantae & Freddy. So funny and outgoing. Had so many fun facts to share. We kind of gave them an open itinerary and they nailed it. They were honest about the best spots and places we could skip. We had the best time!

Not making fishing great - The first words out of their mouth were "Who did you vote for?"
When we asked not to talk about politics, we were ignored. US politics was brought up all afternoon despite trying to change the subject
Do not recommend.
