Lucky Penny Fishing Charters offers inshore and offshore adventures out of Bridgetown, Barbados. The native crew knows the local waters inside out. They grew up fishing off the shore and in the surrounding islands. If you want something exotic on your next holiday, you have found the right company.

You will go out aboard a 37-foot riviera boat, which is perfect for a big game fishing adventure in Barbados. It comes powered by twin 370 HP Cummins engines with a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots. Perfect for accommodating up to six guests, the vessel features a large sun deck and is fitted with modern garment navigational electronics and all the necessary safety equipment, along with Tuna tubes, an ice box for the catch, a live well loaded with bait, outriggers, and down riggers for a professional trolling experience. There is a flybridge to spot any action going on beneath the surface. Head inside to a fully air-conditioned cabin with absolutely everything you may need to spend your day on the water in comfort and style. We have a fighting chair for comfort and ease or we also have the stand-up harness. There is also very little diesel fumes with her outward-facing exhaust.

With a variety of packages to suit your specific needs, you can be sure you will have something to brag about for months to come. Your age and expertise don't matter: if you are a beginner looking for a not-too-rough fishing action or a professional who wants to butt heads with the big fish, the Captain got you covered.

A light tackle fishing action is an ideal opportunity to introduce kids to. Trolling around the island on the south and west coast will get you on Wahoo and other species. And if you are after the big fish, a deep-sea fishing experience will see you fishing for Sailfish, Tuna, Marlin, Mahi-Mahi,

We have light snacks and some refreshments onboard for you

    One of THE BEST trips!

    8 hour offshore/marlin on August 10, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Kai did a fantastic job working the Fads. With the expert deck hands - Luca and Zach - we had very little to do except get in the fighting chair and REEL. We caught Wahoo, several HUGE Mahi Mahi, and a sailfish - definitely the highlight of our trip! We got to take some back to our condo to make ceviche and cook - DELICIOUS!! Zach did a nice job keeping the boat clean and the bait ready. The boat was SO nice and clean, especially the inside AC when we had short breaks between bites. I would recommend the Lucky Penny and crew!

    Great trip

    5 Hour Wahoo/Offshore (AM) on December 20, 2025 • 3 adults

    had a 5 hour trip on Lucky Penny on the 19th of December 2025 7am - 12 PM with my son and grandson . Daniel the skipper and Kia the crewman were great , they new where to go to get on the fish and i soon had a King fish in the box, not to long after my grandson OLLIE was into a King fish of his own and after a good scrap it was in the box too. My son Will had the next one a short time later. It went quiet for a while so Daniel moved further up the coast where Ollie hooked into a bigger fish a much stronger fighting fish that he managed to get to the stern of the boat before it rolled several times and snapping off the steel leader !, not long after that we had another savage take on a lure which snapped one of the triple hooks. All in all a great morning on Lucky Penny and we can’t wait to come back and book another trip.

    FISH ON!!

    4 hour wahoo/offshore - 1:00 PM on August 11, 2025 • 4 adults

    I can’t say enough good things about this trip. Captain Daniel was a true professional who was very knowledgeable of the island and where the fish were biting. This was apparently the slower part of the fishing season but we hooked our first 15lb Barracuda about 20 minutes into the trip and continued catching a variety of fish for the next 4 hours. We pulled barracuda, horse eye, tuna, travails and mackerel on to boat before it was all said and done. I would be remiss if I didn’t give a huge shot out to the Mate, Brandon. He and my family had great conversation the entire trip. He was “Johnny on the Spot” the entire time and he knew exactly what he was doing and it showed. I’ve only fished Barbados once but when we come back, this is the outfit I’m calling. Do yourself a favor and Book It!

    MUST DO!!!

    6 Hour Offshore/Marlin on January 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    The captain Daniel and first mate Paul was great they were very courteous and knowledgeable of the fishing area and how it needs to be done, the cabin had cold air and plenty of snacks & drinks both alcohol & none alcohol… They did not rush you in any kind of way. I felt as if I belonged on the boat, also the boat was very clean, also Paul did a great job of cleaning the fish once on land… They get a high five and a 10 star rating from me and my cousin, Alabama-me & Detroit-Sean has once again made memories here in Barbados, do yourself a favor and book this charter group… Thanks fellows for taking great care of us and making sure we came back happy with lots of Fish. The end.

There has never been a time that I can't remember not being on the water. Before I could walk I was on the water fishing and sailing - It's something that's a part of me, it's that simple. I have fished off the shores of Barbados and the Caribbean my whole life so I know these waters like the back of my hand... Rest assured when you fish with me you won't be disappointed.
