We initially booked 5 hours offshore, but due to the seastate and recent catch reports we stayed inshore. This a testament to the crew and not a negative.

The skipper was highly experienced and his local knowlege was extensive - this was the same for the firt mate. They were both gracious hosts, made sure that we were well looked after and shared their knowlege about the local area and fish behaviour.

Their priority was to balance comfort and safety based on the prevailing conditions, fun, and of course tight lines.

Before the trip, Nick, was patient and quick to answer any questions and point us in the right direction.

We caught a few baracuda, a benito, and a trigger fish.

I’d highly reccomend this company for a fun, safe, and memorable day on the water.

I’ve hired quite a few charters over the years in various waters, and in 2025 I booked one of Nauti Dream’s charters to try to get my billfish. That’s when I met Marlon (and Josh) who were proven billfish masters. We didn’t have luck in 2025, but I vowed to book them again to try my luck when I returned in 2026.

This year, I booked the six hour charter, hoping I’d at least hook into a billfish. Just as we hit the offshore waters, I landed two kingfish… then the magic happened. A blue marlin came up on a teaser, Marlon and his crewmate Mario jumped into action, and sure enough, the marlin took our bait and I got the battle my dream fish.

I’d love to admit I did a C&R, but I fought this fish to the point of exhaustion, so keeping it also gave me my first billfish pics… and given marlon is a staple at every Barbados restaurant and grocery store, I knew not an ounce of the fish would go to waste.

In a very magic moment, right after we landed the marlin, the mahi mahi (“dolphin” as the locals call them) came in, and I managed to catch six of them before the end of the trip (five in quick succession, and one more as we were trolling back in).

Amazingly on the same trip & an hour or two after landing my marlin, a smaller blue marlin came up on the teaser, but didn’t take the bait. I am so glad I met Marlon and the amazing team at Nauti Dreams, and I will definitely be back with them again on my next visit to Bim!

The captains are 19 years old and the dead hand is not much older, but do not let that fool you the boat was well prepared and accommodating. We changed what trip we wanted to go to at the very last moment and they accommodated us. The gear was top-notch and the preparation was top notch to make matters better. We landed a 6 foot sailfish. I was glad to see that they were more concerned about releasing this wonderful fish back into the wild then killing it. That was very important to me. I’d give them 10 stars if I could, but I can only give them five.

We fish with Feelin Nauti Adventures each year we come to Barbados and each year we have caught fish. But today set new standards. A blue marlin estimated as somewhere between 350-380lbs. A once in a lifetime experience for my 23yr old son. Right from the outset it was clear that Jayden, Zak and Chad were determined to get us into a big fish. Not only did they do it , but we also had a second marlin on which unfortuantely dropped the hook. And all this at the same time as them being great conpany and us having a great laugh! Thank you!

What a wonderful day fishing!
Dreams do come true!!
Masssive thank you and respect to Marlin and Brad who were amazing -  totally professional!  They have the very best of gear- heavy duty rods, high-capacity reels,  carefully rigged bait and lures. They worked tirelessly, read the water, tracked conditions, and positioned the boat for the best chance of success and success we certainly had - a 40lb shark, numerous mahi mahi and wahoo and a bit of ‘luck of the Irish’😁
Unforgettable and highly recommended !!!
