Short Description: Deep Sea Fishing / Whale Watching Safari
Long Description: Welcome to Hackshaw’s Boat Charters. We as a family are proud of the fact that we introduced charter boating to our island some 60 years ago. Therefore, we feel confident in claiming unparalleled experience and knowledge in boating here in St.Lucia.
“Big Bill” Hackshaw, whose character was larger than life, and was renowned throughout the islands, was the boating pioneer way back in the forty’s. His magnetic personality and unique knowledge, of the sea has been passed on through the years to his sons David and Paul and his Grandchildren Chris, Nicholas, Anthony, Jacqui and Caroline.
Despite having advanced over the years, we are still a small
family business, maintaining close personal contact with all our valued clients.
Presently we operate four boats, three used mainly for sports fishing, and a brand new custom designed Whale Watching Boat “Lady Hack”, which is also versatile enough for a wide variety of tours including private tours.
All our captains are “hooked” on fishing- just try to drag’em home without a catch!! After all, we had the grandfather of all fishermen “Big Bill” as our mentor! Our waters are abundant with a variety of Big Game Fish, such as Blue Marlin, Sail Fish, Yellow Fin Tuna, Wahoo and Dorado, to name but a few, an ideal recipe for a deep sea fishing experience.
hough each fish species is generally seasonal, for example, February to May for Wahoo and Dorado, and August to December for Blue Marlin, Sail Fish and Yellow Fin Tuna, we do have these fish year round, thus making these trips always popular and exciting.
Regardless whether you are a pro or novice in this sport, all are always very welcome aboard.
Don’t miss the most exhilarating experience of your vacation - a Dolphin/Whale Watch Safari with us is a must!To date, in excess of 25 varieties of these magnificent mammals have been spotted in our waters, each bearing its own unique fascination. The sight of them in their natural habitats, whether they be feeding, mating, frolicking with their calves or just “cooling” out in our refreshing Caribbean waters, is surely a magical and unforgettable experience!
We also come across large pods of Dolphin, sometimes 150 at a time. They dazzle and hypnotize us with their spectacular and lively antics. The most frequently sighted are the Spotted, the Common, the Fraser and Striped. Our personal favorites are the Spinners, which can be seen leaping playfully several yards into the air, whilst spinning up to seven times. |
