Fishing in Barbados

Barbados Fishing

IOU is Captained and crewed by its British owners Martyn & Angie who are now Bajan residents.

Angie has many years of catering experience after owning a country hotel in Cornwall, U.K. which ensures that you are well looked after and provided with some of the best snacks afloat.

The fishing season in Barbados runs from December to April when all the main species such as Wahoo, Dorado, White and Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Yellow and Black fin Tuna are available.

The Marlin pass the island in September/October when there is a small run of these fish but if you are seriously after Marlin, the best months are February, March and April.

Some Wahoo, Barracuda, Dolphin, Marlin and Sailfish are in our waters all year. The Tuna are usually caught in the winter months.

It is our policy to tag and release all bill fish, but we will kill an occasional bill fish that is considered to have a very poor chance of survival. Most tropical species of shark are also available year round.

The Barbados Game Fishing Association (BGFA) - The BGFA practices conservation in all of its events either by minimum weight or length and encourages tag and release with pain of penalty for landing undersized fish. The Island now boasts one of the premier marine facilities in the Eastern Caribbean at Port St. Charles, where Customs and Immigration also have offices.

Fishing Charters Barbados - Barbados is an ideal fishing destination particularly during the months of January through April when all of our game fish are in full season. You are likely to catch Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin (mahi-mahi), and Barracuda. These fish can also be caught year round and as Barbados is a coral island we can catch fish soon after leaving the dock. So no more traveling miles before you get out to the fishing grounds.

High Seas Barbados - High Seas Fishing Charters has years of experience catching fish in Barbados coastal waters. Many trophy fish have been caught in these waters by our boats Ocean Hunter and High Seas and they continue to land the big ones.
