Fishing is a favorite pasttime in the Bahamas and our charters offer a perfect combination of captain and boat for everyone. Captain Bob and his Optical Opportunity are perfect for both experienced fishermen and –women and absolute beginners. Captain Bob has gained much fishing and yachting experience in this region, as well as in the waters of Florida, the Dominican Republic, and St. Thomas, among other places. He is specialized in deep-sea game fishing in fishing areas around Nassau.

A good captain knows his waters and Captain Bob is certainly an authority when it comes to the prime deep-sea fishing locations off the coast of Nassau. The ledges around New Providence Island drop to depths of more than 5000 feet and are inhabited by an amazing array of gamefish species, such as barracuda, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, grouper, shark, and many more. The fish benefit from the unique mingling of warm and cold water at the Bahama Bank, which creates ideal food conditions. And Captain Bob knows exactly where to go to find the biggest gatherings of game fish!
