 The Careenage, Bridgetown, Barbados

High Seas Charters is owned and operated by Capt. Robbie Atwell, a local of Barbados who has been fishing the local waters since the age of 5 has since competed successfully in many local fishing tournaments. He encourages you to come on a charter with him and promises that although you may come as a guest, you will leave as a friend.

You will be fishing aboard the Ocean Hunter, a 42’ custom-built sportfishing boat that can easily accommodate up to six anglers. The boat has a spacious cockpit and is equipped with all you need to catch some massive fish, with a range of marine electronics, a fighting chair and outriggers for effective trolling.

Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned pro. High Seas Charters will work with you to build the perfect fishing trip. Hardcore deep sea addicts will be taken out to the best waters as fast as possible to give you the maximum fishing time, while family groups will be taken to the more sheltered side of the island to enjoy some awesome hookups without the choppy waters.

Capt. Robbie prides himself on his strong customer focus. From adapting his trips to suit your needs to the little things like making sure you have food and drinks to keep you going, he does everything he can to make your trip perfect. So climb aboard and get ready for a day you will never forget!

3/4 Day Trip on February 17, 2025

Great day. To start out they send a taxi to pick you up. The taxi was early and dropped us off right in front of the boat. Brief introduction and we departed from the dock 15 minutes early. That makes me feel great to know they have their $hit together. After a couple hours we landed a couple Wahoo. Hatch worked hard the whole time, changing bait and lures, making sure we were comfortable and popped a couple beers for me. Great guy. He filet the fish before we headed back to the marina. Another great deal so we didn’t have to wait around the dock for the fish to be cleaned. He gave us a huge portion in a bag and kept it in the onboard refrigerator. Upon arriving back at the dock, our cab was already waiting for us. Headed back to our hotel and cooked up some of the fish for lunch. That’s one tasty fresh lunch.

Half Day Trip (AM) on November 21, 2024

Went out with Robert, Hutch and Connor this morning on the 7am - 11am half day fish and where do I start. Taxi on time from the hotel, boat was ready to leave on time, and then out on the sea we went, caught 6 Wahoo and 2 Barracuda, lost a shark !!!!!

Fish On!

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (AM) on November 11, 2024

Such a great crew and 4 hours well spent. We had the pleasure of pouring rain to start out the morning with one missed fish but a hook up on a barracuda shorty after. With just a few more zigs and zags we hooked into another great fish (wahoo) that gave us a good fight and some good fun. Expectation are always low with fishing trips. These guys exceded and went beyond. I’ll be following up with them on future trips for sure. Thank you!! Oh… one more thing… they hooked it up on the fish as well. They don’t just give you a taco to take home like most outfitters. We had a feast with all that tasty fish.

Half Day Trip (PM) on June 23, 2025

Knowledgeable crew and a great boat. What more do you need? Very very nice people who took one fisherman and 5 newbies out for 4 hours. By the end we had had a history lesson of the island and its people and a fishing lesson that was first class.

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 7, 2025

I had an incredible experience on this charter with Captain Robbie and Hatch. They got us on the fish within just 20 minutes of heading out, and we landed a wahoo right away. By the end of the day, we had a total of 5 fish, making it a memorable and successful trip. Captain Robbie and Hatch were both knowledgeable and professional, ensuring a great time on the water. Highly recommend!
