Fishing

The sea around the Caribbean is one of the most stunning aquatic playgrounds in the world. Not only is it perfect for relaxing in, diving amongst and simply admiring from the shore, it also offers some of the best fishing in the world. Combine crystal clear waters, an abundance of sea life and deep sea fishing trips at reasonable prices and you have an unbeatable offer. Whether you’ve been out in boats many times before, or you’re completely new to game fishing you’ll enjoy an unforgettable experience.

Local companies will be only too happy to put their knowledge and equipment at your disposal, and will take you to spots off the west and south coast, where you’ll be able to catch the likes of yellow fin tuna and kingfish. Pack some food and few cold beers, head to fisherman’s row in Bridgetown and find the charter you’re looking for. The game fish that draw in the worlds keenest anglers are in season between January and April, and if heading out to sea doesn’t appeal, rest assured there’s fantastic inland fishing on offer just a mile from the shore.

Local companies such as High Seas Fishing Charters, Therapy Charters and Legacy Fishing Charters provide guided fishing trips which offer a genuinely authentic Caribbean experience. Local captains will take you out in a traditional Barbados fishing boat and teach you the age-old techniques of hand lining or, if you’re an expert you can even bring your own equipment and take advantage of free bait supplies. Old hand or novice, you’ll soon be hauling in catch like Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo, and Blue and White Marlin.
