  Marlon, Mario and the Nauti team got me my billfish!

  6 Hour Trip – Offshore SPECIAL on January 8, 2026 • 1 adult

  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!

  Fantastic Crew and Day

  Half Day Trip – Offshore SPECIAL on April 15, 2026 • 2 adults

  Chad and Winston were absolutely fantastic. The Nauti Dreams was spotless and well equipped. The guys were terrific hosts and professional anglers. They worked incredibly hard to find the fish we wanted to battle and it was a huge success. Book these guys!! They are the BEST!!

  11 Mahi, 1 Tuna, 1 Amber Jack

  Half Day – Fish/Swim/Cook SPECIAL on August 19, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Marion and 1st Mate Brad love what they do. They did the hard part of bringing 13 total fish in the boat and plenty more we lost. Big swells and not for people with queasy stomachs but we were loving every minute. Highly recommended..
