Spend an unforgettable morning or afternoon fishing in the deep blue waters surrounding St Martin. This private half-day charter departs from Blue Pearl Marina and heads offshore aboard a 33-ft Boston Whaler Outrage — a powerful and highly capable fishing boat designed for comfort, safety, and serious sport fishing.

Using a combination of trolling, deep sea trolling, and bottom fishing techniques, your captain will guide you to productive fishing grounds where species such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, Barracuda, and Snapper are commonly found depending on the season. With modern electronics and extensive local knowledge of the island’s waters, the crew works hard to give you the best chance of landing an exciting catch.

All fishing gear is provided, including rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses, so you can simply step onboard and enjoy the experience. Drinks are kept chilled in the cooler, and the boat features a marine toilet and freshwater shower for comfort during the trip.

At the end of the charter, your catch can be cleaned and filleted for you to take home or enjoy later at a local restaurant. Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying deep sea fishing for the first time, this private charter offers an exciting and authentic way to experience the waters of St Maarten.
