Jolly Roger Fishing Trip

Half Day · Bridgetown Harbour

Rating: 4.8 / 5

The Jolly Roger is Barbados' long-running pirate-themed party boat, based at Shallow Draught in Bridgetown. Its fishing-trip version is very much a social half-day on the water rather than a serious charter — rum punch flows, there are snorkel stops along the way, and there's a good chance of pulling in lunch. Families and first-time anglers love it; tournament fishers should book a proper charter instead. 246-436-2885 or barbadosblackpearl-jollyroger1.com.

Highlights: Rum Punch · Snorkeling · Family Friendly · Fun Atmosphere
