About Early Bird Charters
Early Bird Charters is a family-run boat charter business in Bermuda with over 40 years of experience on the water. Founded by Captain Blake West in 1982, the operation originally launched with a single vessel called Troubadour and has grown into one of the island's most trusted names for fishing and sightseeing excursions.
They offer full-day and half-day fishing charters targeting Bermuda's inshore and offshore species, guided snorkel trips to reef sites, seasonal whale watching excursions during the spring humpback migration, and relaxing evening boat rides along the coastline. Most charters depart from Bailey's Bay Dock in Hamilton Parish, with pickup also available from Grotto Bay Dock. All gear and tackle are provided.
What sets Early Bird apart is the family heritage — multiple generations of the West family have grown up on these waters, and that deep generational knowledge of Bermuda's marine environment translates into better fishing spots, safer navigation, and richer commentary during sightseeing trips. Their long track record and consistently warm reviews make them a safe bet for visitors who want a personal, non-corporate charter experience.
