Founded in 1992 by Peter Maury, PARADISE ISLAND CHARTERS is backed with years of practical fishing experience. Peter first operated Hurricane Hole Marina for 10 years and assured its success as it climbed to one of the most highly regarded marinas in the Caribbean. Peter is a true Bahamian, his family, English loyalists came to the islands of the Bahamas in the 1700's and settled in the Abacos. After attending college in America he came home to put what he had learned to practical use. Peter never forgot his upbringing and knowledge of fishing and the Bahama islands. Captain Peter became an accomplished fishing angler, winning local tournaments. With many of the world class Sportfish boats and angler's that frequent the Bahamas Peter gained experience from the best.

About the Fishing Charters| Our Equipment
Big Game fishing, Sport fishing or Deep sea fishing, no matter what you call it Paradise Island Charters is your best choice for maximum Bahamas fishing fun. Nassau & Paradise Island has some of the best big game trolling grounds just minutes outside the harbor. We can get you onto the fishing grounds in less than ten minutes from the sea buoy, and troll for Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna and Mahi. The actual time spent fishing is a key factor in charter satisfaction. Our boats are specifically chosen for their speed and performance. Equipped with twin diesels they can run close to 30 Knots and cruise comfortably at 24 knots. They are also chosen for their open and spacious design. Our equipment is second to none, We use only the finest tackle handcrafted by true Italian artisans. Checkout the rods and reels at www.alutecnos.com.
Our 48' custom Smith Express is a true fishing machine, loaded with the latest in electronics. The speed of this boat is a key ingredient to our successful catch ratio. Faster means less travel time and more fishing time. No other boat in the local fleet can compare. We fish circles around our competitors and there is nothing they can do about it. Our long range trips take just over an hour and the distance pays off. We go where the other boats can't so the fishing is even better. Anybody can guarantee No Splash No Cash but do you really want to waste time sitting on a reef trying to catch small fish all day or do you want to go out and catch the large game fish.
We also have a 38' custom Warren O'neill, designed to take a Heavysea and return you safely. These types of boats have been fishing the Carolina outer banks for better than 50 years and are built to handle the infamous Oregon Inlet. Time tested for both seaworthiness and fishability this boat is an absolute classic, but do not let the design fool you. This boat will cruise along comfortably at 24 knots. with air-conditioned galley and head below. The construction is Fiberglass over Juniper plank, with twin Volvo diesels for power. This boat speaks the fish language and they get in line when its fishing time.
For something larger and more luxurious we have a 96' yacht with all the toys. We can accommodate any of your fishing needs. Call us for day charters, evening cruises and overnighters.
