Excellent morning on the water and off of the resort! - This was the highlight of our trip! We got to do what we had hoped - excellent snorkeling with sea turtles, colorful fish, and even a shark plus a bonus of diving for conch and some fishing at the end! We came back with great pictures/ videos, beautiful sea shells, and memories we will cherish from our trip to the Bahamas always! Thank you Captain Bobo and Kyris for such an awesome morning and going above and beyond to make this experience so special!

The best day of our Bahamas trip! - We had a great time on this excursion! My husband, myself, and our 7 year old daughter booked the customizable 4 hour excursion. The weather was beautiful! Our captain was Bobo and mate was Kyris. We met them at the Baha Mar pier around 8am where they asked us what we wanted to do and set sail. Our choices were snorkeling, seeing sea turtles, and going to explore an island. They first took us on a 45 minute ride away from Baha Mar where we got to see some sights from the boat like blue lagoon, the cruise port, Atlantis, and Gilligan’s island. The boat had 2 comfy areas to lay out on under shade. Next we stopped alongside some other boats for snorkeling at our own pace. We used their noodle floats and snorkels. The coral and sea life were beautiful! After that we decided we’d like to look for conch, so captain bobo took us to his favorite childhood spot to troll. My husband and Kyris dove for 17 of them out in the open water! They were so cool to see. Next we rode over to sea turtle island where we snorkeled with a few turtles and then walked to shore and explored the little island. We collected beautiful shells there too. Meanwhile Bobo and Kyris prepared the fresh, raw conch we caught and we got to try some for the first time. That was such a cool, memorable experience. The whole time the boat was kept clean and sanitized. After that, we made the 45 minute boat ride back to the Baha Mar pier. Overall it was the best day of the trip! Really glad we chose the customizable option. We appreciated captain Bobo and Mate Kyris and their expertise!

Highlight of the trip! - We booked our charter through our hotel concierge. It was easy and seamless. The crew, Calvin and Capt Bobo were waiting on the boat when we arrived (parking is not on site so be aware of that!). They customized our charter so we snorkeled in two different spots, and fished until everyone caught a bunch! We went for a sightseeing cruise after and the whole thing was just wonderful. The highlight of our trip to the Bahamas!

Fun, joyful trip with our little bits - Kyris and Bobo were wonderful! We had such a fun time with them on the boat. They were so sweet with our two boys, despite our boys constant pestering them, and made sure we caught a lot of fish. Also had fun snorkeling with the fishes. Would highly recommend them!

A great half-day on the water - We did a 4-hour charter with Born Free Charters and had a great experience. Bobo captained the boat, and Kyris took care of everything and kept the day moving smoothly. We fished, snorkeled, and fed the pigs, and everything was well organized and relaxed. The crew was professional, on time, and easy to be around. Would definitely recommend.

Incredible experience with Born Free Charters - my family and i are staying at Baha Mar and we had an incredible experience today with Born Free charters. Our Captain Bobo and Mate Kyris were both great. Captain Bobo took us to an incredible fishing spot where my son caught nearly 30 fish. He said it was one of the best days of his life. Kyris was amazing in helping my son with all of the fishing gear and bait. After fishing, we went to a beautiful snorkeling reef where we saw tons of tropical fish and even a large sting ray. They provided snacks and drinks for us on the boat. It was one of the most enjoyable days our family has ever experienced and we are very grateful for the company as well as Bobo and Kyris who were both great.

A must do when in Nassau - We did a 4 hour private fishing and snorkeling tour with Born Free and it was an amazing experience. Most of the people I took on this tour had never done anything similar to this and they were blown away by both the fishing and snorkeling activities. We went shallow sea fishing and caught close to 20 fish, the fish were skinned, deboned and cleaned so that they can be taken to any restaurant to be cooked. Captain Bobo took us to see some sea turtles and then took us to some very nice corals where we snorkeled and saw tons of fish. I would highly recommend this tour.
