The first benefit for a bunch of tourists like us was getting a look at Nelsonโs Dockyard at 8 am before the crowds turn up, what an amazing place! We me Peelo (I hope I have spelled that correctly) and Captain Frank, got ourselves aboard (a party of six) and headed straight out into the Atlantic. Six lines were out as soon as were throught the gap in the reef. I would describe Ovrdraft as a utilitarian sport fishing boat, easy to maintain and keep clean and with everything required to catch fish. if you want a cushion for your bum, bring one with you. The sea state was choppy going on lively which made moving about difficult to outright funny at times. The sad news is that the fish were not playing ball, we landed two barracuda and Frank worked tirelessly keeping baits fresh and weed free but thatโs why they call it fishing, not catching. He is quite a character, a genuine salty dog. One of the party was a little seasick but hung in like a trooper, the rest of us took joy in being a good way out in the ocean in a small boat with magnificent views. If you are in Antigua and want to go fishing for something big I would definately recommend this boat.

Hello Richard. Thank you for your amazing remarks. I know Frank would have tried everything to get you on to something. Next time for sure. Tight lines!
We left promptly and Captain Frank took care of everything.ย All we had to do was bring in the fish!ย Great boat with excellent equipment to catch big fish.
CAPT Frank has great knowledge of the fishing grounds. Dwaine made our experience so personable, very relaxing. We were very happy with our outing, 4 fish, great weather, and great company. However, was choppy so if you get seasick take Dramamine before boardingโworked for me. Laurel Christians
In spite of the fish not biting and a torrential rain that Frank fought through and still kept us fishing, we had a fantastic time! Each of us caught a barracuda and got to see a lot of the island from the water. Thanks Capt Frank!!
Great day out with Frank, he worked hard to get me on fish and were very unlucky when a big Marlin got off but in all had fun. Would highly recommend and think you would struggle to find more experience or better gear in Antigua
