The ones that won't get away


If you want to sit in the fighting chair immortalized by Ernest Hemingway, the Caribbean is the place. Deep-sea or big-game fishing is popular throughout most of the region, and many of the International Game Fishing Association’s world record catches were registered here.

Closer inshore, you’ll find barracuda, bonefish, kingfish, mackerel, tarpon, amberjack, grouper and snapper. 

Our licensed operators will charter boats from many ports with crew, state-of-the-art equipment, bait, and a captain who will guide you to the best fishing grounds. Half-day and full-day trips are usually available. Full-day charters give you the best chance for a big catch, because the boat can reach waters that are infrequently fished. 

Reeling in the big fishIf you want to add the thrill of competition to your deep-sea adventure, you can enter one of our local tournaments, which attract amateurs as well as internationally-famous anglers. 

Whether you are fishing professionally or for fun, you can have an angling adventure in waters that are rightly famous. Go fishing – do it Caribbean.
