About 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.

You keep what we catch, within reasonable limits, for the personal consumption of guests on the charter. We do promise though, that guests get first pick of the catch. The crew will clean the fish for you but unfortunately, we cannot assist with packing and shipping fish off the island.
