Charters & Photo Experiences

Get the shot. From the person who's been getting it for 38 years.

A licensed captain and a working underwater photographer, in the same boat. This is the one thing almost no stock photographer can offer — a guided trip to the actual water, with someone who knows exactly where the animals are.

Why Book With Peter

A captain's local knowledge, aimed at your camera roll

I've held an active captain's license for decades and run private charters through Bahamian out-islands most visitors never reach — nearly 800 miles down the chain. I know where the stingrays gather, where the turtles feed, and how to position a boat so you get in the water at exactly the right moment, in the right light.

These trips are built for photographers — and for anyone who just wants extraordinary photos of their vacation, whether you're shooting on a phone or a full underwater rig.

Two Ways to Work With Me

Hire the photographer, the captain, or both

Not everyone wants to book one of the set charter packages above. Some people already have a boat and just need the shot — or already have a photographer and just need someone who knows the water. Both are on the table.

Hire Me as Your Photographer

For guests, boat owners, or tournament teams who want a professional photographer aboard their own charter, private boat, or tournament to document the trip — surface, underwater, and drone. 38 years on the water means I know how to get the shot without getting in the way of the fishing or diving.

Hire Me as Your Captain

I hold an active captain's license. If you own a boat and need someone experienced to run it — a day trip, a delivery, or a tournament day — I'm available to captain, with photography and video included as a built-in bonus if you want it.
