Overview

At Therapy Charters, we are a Barbados family-owned and -operated business that understands the needs of our guests. On all our light tackle fishing charters, we welcome you and your private group not as customers but as friends. Our captain and crew are attentive from start to finish, making sure you get the most out of your day fishing the reefs and crystal-clear waters for local species such as amber jacks, great barracuda, snappers, and groupers.


Drop-off close to port

Light tackling is all about finding those clear, calm waters. On this private light tackling charter, expect just that: we will be setting up shop within 5 to 10 minutes of leaving our Bridgetown dock.


Expert local captain and crew

Half the fun of going out in a private charter is just sitting back and enjoying the day. Safety is top of mind for us at Therapy Charters. Our team is made up of real fishermen who grew up on the island, which means they know it well. Your captain will be engaged throughout your experience, finding you the best and safest spots to cast your line and swim.


Flexible availability for booking your charter and crew

Many travelers to Bridgetown arrive via a cruise ship, which makes scheduling and timing even more important. Our dock is a 20-minute walk from the port of Bridgetown, and we offer round-trip transportation from hotels and the port. We always tell folks that there is nothing to worry about if you only have a day: we never lose sight of the cruise ships when we are out on the water! Whether you want a full day out, or a few hours, we are here to work with you!


All equipment included

We have everything you need for a day of light tackle fishing in Barbados. Storage lockers for personal belongings, coolers for our fresh catches, rods, bait, you name it and we've thought to bring it along. If you need special accommodations for anything such as wheelchairs and strollers, we're here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Is the pricing for a fishing charter per person?

    Our pricing is set per charter and duration of time that you go out on the boat. Whether you book for one person, or the maximum capacity, the price on each charter is the set price you pay.

  • Do your charters include round-trip transportation?

    We can accommodate you with round-trip transportation if you need it. During check-out you can opt for pickup and drop-off to your hotel or the cruise port. 

  • Do you do shared charters?

    We do not do shared charters. Our private charters are designed for families and friends looking to enjoy a day out fishing, swimming, and relaxing.


  • When is the best time to fish in Barbados?

    February to mid-April is peak for big-game fishing in Barbados. Though we have fantastic fishing year round in the reefs just off of Bridgetown. Typically in April, Barbados hosts the Barbados International Tournament.

  • What is Carlisle Bay like?

    Historically Carlisle Bay was known as a major point of discharging and receiving cargo for the island, in times like World War I. Carlisle Bay is located on the southwestern side of the island and has calm waters year round. It's fun to watch  the ships leave the cruise terminal, and it’s also a beautiful place to see a sunset.
