Can we fish from a charter yacht in the Bahamas?
Yes, with a permit. A Bahamas fishing permit is required for anyone fishing from a non-Bahamian vessel, and the captain arranges it.
Most charter yachts carry trolling gear and the crew know where the fish are: mahi, wahoo and tuna in the deep water, bonefish on the flats. Spearfishing is allowed with a Hawaiian sling but not with scuba or a powered speargun. Catch limits apply and some areas, including the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, are complete no-take zones. If serious sportfishing is the point of the trip, say so, because it changes which yacht suits.
