Deep Sea Fishing Half-Day

See all (3)

Summary

Enjoy coastal and deep sea fishing Caribbean style, off the southern coast of St Maarten. In 60 - 200 feet we use traditional hand-line or rod and reel to go after exotic reef fish such as Triggerfish, Tilefish, Blue Runners and small Groupers. At the 300 - 600 feet we can troll the surface for Tuna, Barracuda, Kingfish, Mackeral and Mahi-Mahi using either lures or natural baits such as rigged ballyhoo. Occasionally we can find a nice raft of weed or other debris and cast with lighter equipment. In deeper water up to 1200 - 1500 feet we switch to our power-assist rigs and deep drop for Snapper and Grouper. Our actual strategy will vary throughout the season and even day to day. depending on current sea and weather conditions. We have a few go-to spots which we like to vary in order not to over-fish. No experience necessary! Our friendly crew are always ready to lend a helping hand. On-board private head, lots of deck space and all the fishing gear, beach toys and snorkel gear you'll need to have a fun day in the sun on the Caribbean Sea. Not much fishing action going on? We can always head into a nice beach for some swimming and/or snorkeling.

Why take this tour?

Ideal for the novice or experienced angler. Our friendly, professional crew are always ready to lend a helping hand. We will gladly help with rigging, baiting or advising on techniques that work best in local waters. If you like to do all the work yourself then we will happily step and back and act as support crew. The emphasis on our tours is fun. Our local reefs are quite prolific and in order to keep them that way, we vary the spots we choose to fish and throw back anything but the best 'keepers'. We maintain a full range of professional level equipment and tackle appropriate for the local environment. We've also added some new power-assist rigs so we can deep drop in water over 1,000 feet. For the non-angler or the reluctant partners in your group, we can always combine the fishing action with a nice beach or snorkeling stop. We have plenty of beach toys and snorkeling gear on board to make this tour a little of something for everyone.
