About Overproof Charter Fishing
Overproof Charter Fishing is a premier deep sea fishing charter based at 136 Somerset Road in Sandys Parish, Bermuda. Captain Peter Rans runs the operation aboard the Overproof, a well-equipped sport fishing vessel purpose-built for Bermuda's offshore waters where the continental shelf drops away quickly into thousand-foot depths.
Charters target the full range of Bermuda's pelagic gamefish: blue marlin, white marlin, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dolphinfish (mahi-mahi), and blackfin tuna. Full-day and half-day trips are available, with professional-grade tackle, fighting chairs, outriggers, and live bait provided. The captain and mate handle rigging, baiting, and fish handling — guests just focus on the fight. They also offer bottom fishing trips for snapper, grouper, and amberjack closer to shore.
Bermuda's position in the mid-Atlantic puts big blue water within a short run from the dock, and Captain Rans has spent most of his life fishing these grounds. He is an IGFA-affiliated captain, and the Overproof has put clients on tournament-winning fish. Whether you are chasing a bucket-list marlin or just want a relaxing half-day pulling wahoo, this is a serious fishing operation with a strong local reputation.
