There were a few issues with this trip starting with the fact that after having booked it three weeks prior, and trying to confirm it multiple times without response,the day before the Capt notified me that he had mistakenly double booked and cancelled my trip. Fortunately we were able to reschedule the trip for later in the day of this notice.
We did go out. The boat arrived on time and I was asked if we wanted to go out as the waters were rough. I agreed having no idea that rough waters meant 7 foot waves. It was a difficult few hours and very scary and unpleasant for several family members. The trip should have been cancelled by the capt as it was unpleasant. But we caught one fish- a barracuda- and headed back after 1.5 hours.
On the positive side the boat was well equipped for fishing and both the capt and the man who helped us fish were extremely expert and helpful. I would go again but not in such rough seas

I booked Overdraft for a 6 hour deep sea fishing trip.  We had our first fish on within 20 minutes…  My wife ended up getting sick within 45 minutes of leaving the dockyard, so we asked the Captin to take us back.  In the hour and a half we were out there, we have (4) fish on the line and I was able to land (2).  I can only imagine how many we would have landed had we been able to fish for the full (6) hours.  I highly recommend Overdraft!

The first benefit for a bunch of tourists like us was getting a look at Nelson’s Dockyard at 8 am before the crowds turn up, what an amazing place! We me Peelo (I hope I have spelled that correctly) and Captain Frank, got ourselves aboard (a party of six) and headed straight out into the Atlantic. Six lines were out as soon as were throught the gap in the reef.
I would describe Ovrdraft as a utilitarian sport fishing boat, easy to maintain and keep clean and with everything required to catch fish. if you want a cushion for your bum, bring one with you. The sea state was choppy going on lively which made moving about difficult to outright funny at times.
The sad news is that the fish were not playing ball, we landed two barracuda and Frank worked tirelessly keeping baits fresh and weed free but that’s why they call it fishing, not catching. He is quite a character, a genuine salty dog. One of the party was a little seasick but hung in like a trooper, the rest of us took joy in being a good way out in the ocean in a small boat with magnificent views. If you are in Antigua and want to go fishing for something big I would definately recommend this boat.

In spite of the fish not biting and a torrential rain that Frank fought through and still kept us fishing, we had a fantastic time! Each of us caught a barracuda and got to see a lot of the island from the water. Thanks Capt Frank!!

Frank and the mate were great.  Fished hard, never gave up.
