Born Free Charters

We had an unforgettable experience with Born Free Charters in the Bahamas! From start to finish, the crew was professional, fun, and incredibly accommodating. Swimming with the pigs was just as amazing (and hilarious) as we hoped it would be—definitely a bucket-list moment. The snorkeling was also a highlight: crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and plenty of time to explore. Everything was well-organized and felt relaxed at the same time. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking to make the most of their time in the Bahamas!

Incredible crew. Always first to all the destinations. Lovely stop for lunch also and never left us thirsty. Swam with sharks, fed lizards and also got to swim with the famous swimming pigs! Incredible and the best tour out there. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!

Captain D and Tyson were amazing! We took the 38 foot boat and went snorkeling, saw the turtles, went to Gilligan’s Island, and stopped at an island to explore. We brought our own towels, but other than that, they provided drinks, snacks, snorkeling gear, and pool noodles for the water. They also had phone cases so we could take photos underwater. We had a great time and it was the highlight of our trip to the Bahamas! Our only regret is that we only booked a half-day tour instead of a full day. :) Thank you again!

Incredible. One of the best things I have ever done. We did the full day experience where we: - [x] Swim with pigs - [x] Swim with sharks (compass cay) - [x] 5 island adventure - [x] Wildlife interaction feeding iguanas - [x] Viewing sunken plane shipwreck - [x] All water soft drinks snacks lunch and fees included It was ridiculously good.

Had a great half-day fishing trip! The boat was very comfortable and we caught a lot of fish. Took about 30 minutes to get to the spot and 30 minutes to get back, leaving about 3 hours for fishing -- more than enough! Our crew was very hospitable too. Roscoe, Cleo, and Kasandra did a great job, especially since we had a large age range of people and abilities. I would definitely hire them again for a future fishing trip.

We had captain Keith and crew members Wilson and Jasmine for our tour. It was an absolute blast! Jasmine and Wilson made sure we were never thirsty and explained interesting history of the islands. The whole crew was incredibly friendly and it made the tour very enjoyable. They fed the fish while we snorkeled which made a huge school of 1,000 fish form around us which was really awesome. They got us up close and personal with some sea turtles as well. Lunch was great and swimming with/feeding the pigs was a blast. I highly recommend Bornfree charters and this crew!

Overall, a positive experience. You'll go to many great places, but will spend the vast majority of the trip on the boat as a consequence (it's 80 miles each way). Pros: You see swimming pigs, snorkel near an underwater plane, hold sharks, feed iguanas, go to a private beach; the employees were also very nice, and the food was alright. Cons: You only spend 15 to 25 minutes at each location (of which there were five) over the course of nine hours, meaning you'll spend more than 80% of your trip on the boat. When on the boat, you'll be traveling at maximum speed (allowing you to visit all the places), but I found this extremely loud. Perhaps bring earplugs if your ears are sensitive. Also, this is not cheap; it was $1208 for my family of three. If you'd rather budget, taking the $99-per-person boat to Rose Island might be a good deal; you can see swimming pigs there as well. Overall, I would recommend it, but know what you're getting into.

We went to the Exumas and visited the Iguana Island and the Pig Island. We also swam with sharks and then stopped at a sandbar. Everything was amazing, and the crew was always very friendly and considerate. Winston crew ! 🏖😁
