Wahoo! - Josh and Jaden were great to fish with. When we mossed a few due to the way they weee biting that day, they didn’t give up and switched it up just a little to ensure we got a nice one.

There's Something Fishy About this Birthday... - As a group of 11 visiting Barbados, 9 of us decided to celebrate my 60th birthday aboard Nauti Dreams with Captain Marlon and First Mate Mario.
The sea-state forecast was. Calling for high wind and waves, and we were more concerned with keeping our breakfasts down than catching supper until Marlon gave us enough information to shape our 5-hour trip around the conditions and our interests.
Marlon took us out to deep water with the intention of changing the plan if we weren't handling it, and we trolled for a bit with minimal success. He was in constant contact with other boats working different areas despite interacting with those of us up on the flybridge.
Making the call to head back to the reef's edge, Marlon got us onto the barracuda as quickly as Mario could re-bait the rigs...which was impressively fast. From the 65 year young matriarch to the 25 year-old athlete we all had a chance in the fighting chair, and had a blast landing 'cudas, snapper, and Caribbean mackerel.
We finished the day snorkeling the wrecks on Carlisle Bay and docked with slightly fewer fish than grins.
A very special day indeed.

Fantastic charter / Sailfish landed - We went out 29th Oct 2025 with Cpt Jaeden and mate Bradley. After a mix up the day before with bookings due to a human error we were so impressed with the way this Charter company responded. They were rapid at rectifying the issue and getting us straight out on the water the next morning. We were made to feel valued and genuinely wanted throughout the whole experience. Jaeden is a great Cpt but also very obviously a keen fisherman who puts his all in to catch fish for his guests. Bradley was a fantastic hand and by my side through the catch of my life! We were hoping to hit some Mahi Mahi but expectations not massive given the season. We started the day with two small bay blackfin and then to our surprise and with some great boat handling at the point the sailfish first showed - we hooked up!
What an experience. One I will never forget. We landed a beautiful 40-50lb Sailfish. Safely returned to the ocean. A few small amber and others followed by two mahi mahi rounded the morning off. The keenness of both Bradley and Jaeden to fish and keep fishing really showed. I would highly recommend this company an in particular Jaeden and Bradley who did themselves and the Nauti company proud today. Thanks again. We will be back.

Experience of a lifetime! - OH MY GOD! Yesterday was the most epic thing to ever happen to me! The captain and staff were so accommodating and we had a blast catching some Mahi (dolphin) and a couple of other fish species early in the day, However, as we were about to start heading back to port. We dropped some lines to really go for the big guys and BAM! We hooked into a 300-400lb Marlin! These fisherman really knew what they were doing and we kept this prehistoric beast on the line for almost 5 hours!!! It was one of the most exhausting things I’ve ever seen and done. The excitement when you hook up with a fish like that is unreal. A once in a lifetime experience. We fought it to the boat several times and had to chase away multiple sharks that kept scaring the fish back out or back to the depths. Honestly I am still buzzing from the whole thing 24 hours later. It’s been a dream of mine to hook into something of that size and these guys made it happen! I can not recommend these guys enough! Thank you for the experience of a lifetime. We booked them for another trip out before we head back home! Absolutely unreal!

The best day, with the best fishing charter in Barbados! - Brilliant day on the water with Nauti Dreams. Jayden & Patrick were just brilliant!! Made us feel very welcome on the boat, worked hard to put us on the fish and took us to some great snorkelling spots to finish up the day.

Great Sportfishing. - Fished with Marlin and King. Marlin is top notch and incredibly free with his knowledge of the local waters. Quality charters in the Caribbean can be a bit hit or miss but not with the Nauti Fleet. We caught a sail and several kingfish but there were more to be had if our schedule would have allowed us to stay out longer. Fished a 4 rod spread with well maintained Shimano 50s and 30s. Will definitely book with them again next time we get down there. There is a reason they do well in the regions tournaments.

The Real Deal - We usually spend the Xmas Holdiays in the Carribean. I typically have a day Blue Water out for the bill stuff. I've tried it in Antigua, St Lucia, St Barts and Playa in Mexico. Frankly, I might as well have just placed US$1000 in a skip and set fire to it such was the likelyhood of meeting a Marlin/Bill Fish on these trips. So I was sceptical. However, when droping my wife off at the dock to go scuba diving I took a look at the Nauti Boats. Firstly, they actually looked like sport fishing boats and secondly it was obvious that the kit on them was top of the range and in great condition. So we went ahead.
We did have one false start due to engine trouble. However, the Nauti team simply gave us another day at no extra charge. So full marks for that. Skipper Josh and mate Liam clearly knew exactly what they were doing - they obviously weren't a couple of chancers who'd borrowed a mates' boat. Not only that, we had fish action during almost all the 6 hours we were out. We had a 200lbs Blue M to the boat, a good run from another and rose a Sailfish to the teasers. Aside from that we had Kings, Dorrado, Baracuda, Jacks and Bonito. We had more sport in that one trip than all the rest put together and then some.
These people are the real deal. I couldn't have asked for more from the day, and got far more than expected. I hope to be in Barbados again, and if I am I'd go again with this team without a second's hesitation.
I very rarely give top marks in reviews. In this instance they derserve nothing less.
Regards
NHP

Josh & Luca were amazing! Fantastic trip! Will definitely book again - Josh & Luca what a amazing trip they provided for us! Myself and my husband booked this trip as it was something we really wanted to do whilst in Barbados.

Thank you so much guys!! Defiantly be in contact to book you again for next year
