Back on dry land after a long day trolling the deep waters off Castries for marlin and mahi mahi, many visitors like to keep the evening's excitement going from the comfort of their resort — and for UK travellers who enjoy that kind of pastime, a session at Mr Play , a UK-facing online casino offering slots, live dealer tables and a sportsbook, can be a handy way to unwind between charters. As with all gambling, it should be treated strictly as entertainment: set a budget, stick to it, and respect the 18+ rules before heading back to the marina for another sunrise run.

Passion & Enthusiasm
The sportfishing business was started even further back
by “BIG BILL” Hackshaw and then continued and run by his son Michael Hackshaw,
known to all as CAPTAIN MIKE, who was just about the most flamboyant character St. Lucia has ever seen.
His passion and enthusiasm for the sea has passed onto his twin sons Andrew and Bruce Hackshaw,
who now run the company. Although our company has expanded,
it is still small and able to give our customers the most personalized of services.

FAQ’s
1. What time does the tour start and where do we meet?
The tour departs promptly at 8:00 AM and returns at 12:00 PM. We recommend arriving at the dock by 7:45 AM. We are located at Vigie Marina in Castries Harbour, a convenient spot for both hotel guests and cruise ship passengers.
Is this tour suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! Whether you are a seasoned pro or have never held a fishing rod, our experienced crew is there to help. They will handle the baiting, rigging, and instruction so you can enjoy the thrill of the catch.
What kind of fish can we expect to catch?
We target the “Big Five” of the Caribbean: Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado (Mahi Mahi). While we can’t guarantee a catch (that’s why they call it fishing!), we use local knowledge to put you in the best spots.
What is included in the price?
Your US $150 fare covers:
-
Professional captain and first mate.
-
All fishing tackle and gear (Tournament-standard Penn and Shimano reels).
-
Fresh and artificial bait.
-
Complimentary refreshments, including bottled water, sodas, and our famous local rum punch.
What should I bring with me?
We recommend bringing sun protection (sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses), a camera for your trophy photos, and comfortable, non-slip footwear. Since the Caribbean sun can be intense, light-colored clothing is best.
Can I keep the fish I catch?
Per local maritime tradition and boat policy, the catch typically belongs to the boat. However,
the crew is often happy to provide enough fillets for a meal if you’d like to take some to a local restaurant for preparation!
Please note that we practice catch-and-release for all Marlin and Sailfish to support conservation.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. To ensure the safety and comfort of all guests on our deep-sea vessels, this tour is restricted to ages 12 and older.
Should I worry about sea sickness?
The waters around St. Lucia can occasionally be choppy with swells. If you are prone to motion sickness, we strongly recommend taking a preventative medication (like Dramamine) about an hour before departure.
What is the cancellation policy?
We offer a full refund for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance. If the tour is cancelled by the captain due to unsafe weather conditions, you will be offered an alternative date or a full refund.
Are hotel transfers included?
This specific group rate is for the tour only. While we do not include transfers in the base price, taxis are readily available throughout the island, and we are a short distance from the Pointe Seraphine cruise terminal.
