    Full Day Charter 8 hour

    Full Day Trip on May 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    Hi folks! I always recommend a full day charter. This is fishing they may bite in the morning or afternoon but your captain needs time to get you the fish. Captain Robbie and Hatch worked very hard all day and managed to landed a couple of nice Mahi Mahi. The sandwiches Mrs. Atwell made well delicious, thank you to her. I would be honored to recommend Captain Robbie and Hatch on the Ocean Hunter anytime!

    Captain Robert and Hatch are great, very professional and put us on the fish. We caught 8 Mahi Mahi Dolphin and 1 Tuna. We would definitely go fishing with them again. Hatch filleted 2 Mahi Mahi for us to take home, we made ceviche with it when we got back to our condo. It was delicious

    Great time fishing

    Half Day Trip (AM) on January 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Robbie and First Mate Hatch were both top notch. As soon as we got on board we felt welcomed. They explained how the trip would go, described the processes and let us know where to find all we needed on the boat. The snacks and refreshments were readily available. But, best of all, we caught fish. We ended up with 5 wahoo, the biggest was 35-40lbs. Highly recommend Ocean Hunter!

    Captain Robbie is a true professional. We had a great experience even with the lack of catching fish. It just wasn’t our day. Great day, overall.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Robbie is a stand up guide, and knows his business well. If you want to have a great experience, book a trip with him. He will let you know, upfront, that there are no guarantees on catching fish, because it is fishing and not catching. Robbie did everything he could to get us on fish. Great experience overall! I would hire him again.

    Fun trip, catching fish a bonus

    Half Day Trip (PM) on March 13, 2026 • 3 adults

    Communication with Captain Robbie was excellent from start to finish. We had a wonderful afternoon with Robbie and Hatch. We had warned our grandson that there are no guarantees to catch a fish. He caught 3 tuna and 2 barracuda. He lost 2 fish and I caught a tuna which we kept and ate. Highly recommend booking with Robbie.

    Bucket List Ticked

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had 4 hours with Robbie and he managed to put us on 5, yes 5, Wahoo!! It really was a bucket list trip out and we will be loving eating fresh fish for the rest of our stay in Barbados. He went above and beyond, bracing against the rain we had for most of the trip, but still managed to make our dreams come true! Thanks again Robbie 🎣🙌

Very good experience booking this trip . easy to book , very good communication .. efficient pick up and drop off . Felt safe on the boat with Robert and Hatch who know their stuff ! unfortunatley we only caught one small mackerel fish which was dissapointing but this was despite their best efforts !
