Capt. Mike Russell (right) owner and operator
of Chubasco Charters. Capt. Mike a seventh generation
Bahamian, comes from a long line of seafaring
captains. His father was a seaman for many years,
both of his grandfathers were boat captains and
one of his great grandfathers captained a three
mast sailing schooner for many years hauling freight
between the Islands.
Captain Mikes first love of the sea was racing
sailboats. Before settling down to his charter
fishing career, he raced for many years in International
Events and represented the Bahamas in two Olympic
Games. A competitor by nature Capt. Mike takes
pride in his fishing achievements and the many
fishing tournaments that he has won.
Adam (left) is one of Capt. Mikes sons. Adam has
been around boats all his life. At the age of
four months, Adam made the crossing from Florida
to Nassau when Capt. Mike purchased his first
boat Chubasco the 34' Trojan. He is presently
attending College and mates with Capt. Mike when
not in class.
