• I’m Philip Pinder, but everyone calls me Captain Philip. My passion in life is fishing. I grew up one block from the ocean and I’ve been fishing since I was very young. Somehow, I always knew my life would involve a boat and a fishing reel. Thirty years ago, I was the first Captain to set up a deep-sea fishing charter on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

    My wife Karen and I work together to make Born Free Charter Service the best in Nassau. In 1978, we launched Born Free Charter Service with our first ship, Born Free II, a 35-foot Allman. Since then, we’ve added the Born Free III and IV, both 48-foot Chris crafts. Our goal is to continue to develop Born Free Charter Service to be the best in the Bahamas.
