Captain Mike's

Castries, Saint Lucia
25+ reviews
Fishing is in my blood. I have been on boats and on the water since the day I was born. I have never wanted to be anything other than a fishing captain. I worked with my father, Captain Mike, until he passed away when I was 25. I took over the family business and have developed our fleet to 7 Bertram sportfishers, ranging from 31' to 46'. I am on the water every chance I get, with charters, fishing tournaments, or just fooling around with friends and family. I hold the island Blue Marlin record of 940 lb and the St. Lucia Billfish tournament record of 707 lb. When you fish with me or my crew you know you are fishing with a crew who share a passion for the ocean and and a real love of fishing and fun! – Bruce Hackshaw, owner, Captain Mike's St Lucia.

    Awesome trip!

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    Bite was slow at first. Once we found the fish the captain kept up right on them. Caught several mahi mahi and wahoo in a short amount of time. Deck crew was great as well, worked hard keeping lines running and were very personable. Will definitely book with these guys again.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Wahoo
    Great Barracuda

    Great fishing charter

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    experience over all was wonderful. while we didnt hook into what we were hoping for, and over all this day fishing seemed a little slow, we did manage to catch fish thanks to Tony and Howard. they were friendly informative and patient. i would highly recomend this experience if you looking to have a great time.

    The boat was highly rated when I researched and the Captain and crew were adequate. We did catch a fish. Nothing above and beyond the basics to earn a higher rating

    we were here for our honeymoon and we got paired with captain Mario and Josh. these guys are serous about catching fish and very helpful when you have one on the line. They had everything we needed to have a good time including fish on the boat, beers and good conversation. I would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone that is into fishing. Be aware if you get sea sickness easily it may not be for you. I have been fishing in the great lakes a few time with big waves and was fine but when we went out here on a “calm” day i did get sea sick. Dispite all of that, 10/10 recommend doing this!

    Amazing trip. The dock was easy to find with parking available. Lucky Strike was in great shape, inside and out. Equipment was perfect for the day and the fish were everywhere. 10 total, 6 Mahi and 4 Cuda. “Fish On” within 20 min of leaving the dock. Captain Howard was knowledgeable and knows the seas and best fishing locations. Tony was one of the hardest working 1st mates I have fished with. Both were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the day. I have fished everywhere and can assure you, our trip today was one of the best. 2000ft at 2 miles off the coast saves hours of fishing time. Our Mahi tacos for dinner tonight were fantastic, thanks for the seasoning advice Tony!

    The trip was great. Captain Dwight was knowledgeable and got me on a tuna almost immediately. Later I was able to land a mahi mahi. The boat was well equipped with plenty of shade and advantage points for great views. We were fortunate and even saw a blue whale and her calf. The bath room was clean. The crew was accomadating and friendly.

    Our crew were great guys, constantly working to try and catch a marlin/sail for us. We didn’t have any luck with billfish, but did catch a few barracuda as expected in these waters, and one Mahi. Would definitely give them a try!

    We took out the Lucky Strike and stuck it big!! We hooked into a massive blue marlin. While we didn't get the fish in We got awesome pictures and a video of the fight. Mario and Tony (crew of the Lucky Strike) estimated the fish between 650-750 lbs. What an awesome fight. Thank you Capt. Mikes!!!
