The flying fish — the national symbol — peaks November to June. Over 17 charter boats operate from Bridgetown Harbour with half-day trips from

The Oistins fish market sells the freshest catch daily, straight off the boats. This is the complete Barbados fishing guide — charters, tournaments, species, seasons, and spots.
