Welcome to Captain Mikes!

Welcome one and all to the new blog for Captain Mikes Sport Fishing, Whale & Dolphin Watching and Pleasure Cruises. This site will keep you posted on all the latest news, big catches and fun and games going on here at Captain Mikes, and on the St. Lucian fishing scene in general, so sit back, relax, and remember to 'keep it reel'.

For those of you who have never heard of Captain Mikes.... a brief overview:
We are a family run business located in St. Lucia, and one of the longest running charter boat companies in the Caribbean. We have four Bertram sportfishing boats and a custom 60 ft whale & dolphin watching boat running charters and scheduled trips out of Castries. The business is run by twin brothers, Andrew and Bruce Hackshaw who between them know their boats and their fishing like no-one else. Andrew's wife, Penny, runs the office and keeps our spending in line (or at least tries to), and Bruce and Andrew's Mum, Pat, keeps a watchful eye on us all. I am the latest addition to the family business, my name is Kim, and Bruce and I were married last year. Between us we try to keep eveything around here ship-shape, keep the lines tight, have have some fun while we are doing it.

There's plenty more about our business on our main site, www.captmikes.com, or if you want to book a trip with us you can email Penny, and remember to check up with us regularly for the big catches and tall tales!

Happy Hunting!
