Hackshaws Boat Charters & Sportfishing

Come along and do battle with the big one with Captain Chris Hackshaw and his experienced and friendly fishing team. Chris's Grand father started charter fishing around the beautiful and very productive waters of St. Lucia over forty years ago and subsequently passed on a wealth of knowledge. Presently Chris's cousin has the St.Lucia Blue Marlin record of 707 pounds caught at one of our International Bill fishing tournaments.


We presently operate three sportfishing vessels in our company, a Customized 38' Bertram Special "Sea Hunter" powered with twin Detroit Diesels capable of speeds to 25 kts, a 31' Bertram Bahia Mar " Blue Boy" powered with twin Perkins 275 h.p. Diesels capable of 31 kts and a 32' Formula "Miss-T" powered with twin 250 h.p. Perkins Diesels capable of 24 kts.

All our boats are equipped with Fish-Finders, GPS systems, Penn International and Shimano Reels and a wide variety of lures for a number of different species of game fish, the Sea Hunter is also equipped with Radar, auto pilot, fridge, stove, freezer, and is air conditioned in the cabin. All three vessels are fitted with coast guard approved safety equipment.

There are a wide variety of game fish around the island with the more common being Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, King Fish, Yellow Fin Tuna and Dorado. We at Hackshaw Boat Charters strongly believe in the conservation of our fish stocks and thus practice a strict Tag and release program of all BillFish, with the tag certificate being presented to the angler by the International Gamefishing Fish Association.

Apart from sport fishing charters we also do whale and dolphin watching trips, day trips along the very scenic coastline (there is also a 50' motor yacht available for the day trips) and are always willing to discuss with you customizing your trip with us.

We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to do business with you and look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
