Full Day Charter 8 hour
Full Day Trip on May 14, 20262 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!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

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 ! There are some things no one can control ! Lovely to see barbados coastline from the boat . Thanks Robbie and Hatch .

Full Day Trip on March 19, 20265 adults

The Captain and Hatch put us onto three beautiful WAHOO. This was a species none of us had caught, and we were all thrilled. I would recommend this boat and crew to anyone serious about fishing. The boat is well equipped, and the transom area is very large, easily accommodating all four fishermen and crew.
