About Born Free Charters
Born Free Charters has been sharing the beauty of The Bahamas by boat since 1978. What began as a local charter business has continued through generations, passed from uncle to nephew and built on a shared love of the sea and the islands we call home.
More than four decades later, we remain proudly Bahamian-owned and operated, taking guests beyond Nassau to experience the clear water, beautiful beaches, marine life and islands that make The Bahamas so special.
For us, being on the water isn't simply our business. It's what we know, what we love and what we've been fortunate enough to share with visitors for generations.
A Nassau Charter Company Since 1978
Born Free Charters has grown and changed over the years, but our connection to the water and commitment to showing guests the best of The Bahamas have remained at the heart of the company.
From our early charter boats to today's fleet and crew, generations of guests have trusted Born Free to take them beyond Nassau and experience the islands from the water.
