Spotlight St. Thomas - Fishing

Amazing experiences await anglers in St. Thomas! Go offshore fishing in pursuit of Marlin, Sailfish, Dolphin Fish (Mahi-Mahi), Wahoo and Tuna. Or try your luck getting a bite and reeling in some Kingfish, Barracuda, Bonito, Jacks or Yellowtail Snapper while inshore fishing.
Wondering when the best time of the year is to come to St. Thomas and haul in that big catch you can go home and talk about for years! The short answer is that some species are around all year and others have peak seasons. Fishing charter operators and captains are knowledgeable about the islands’ waters and seasons. They can provide information on what you might find on the end of your line when you go out fishing with them during your St. Thomas vacation.

A few charters offer trips starting at 2 hours, however the most common are ½ day trips (4 hours, typically between 8am and noon, or 1pm and 5pm); ¾ of a day (6 hours); full day (8 hours); and Marlin trips (10 hours, usually 7:30am to dusk). Short trips are generally inshore fishing only. Boat capacity of 4 to 6 passengers is common. Rates for fishing charters varies depending on length of trip, size of boat, inclusion of fuel in the rate versus fuel being a surcharge, and differences in services and equipment provided. Fishing charters generally have the details of their trips listed on their websites or can provide the information by email or telephone upon request. Explore your options; book a fishing trip and a have a great time!

Want to eat what you catch? Guests can generally request some of their catch, for example up to 20 lbs, the remainder stays with the boat. If you are interested in keeping some of your catch to take back to your vacation rental to cook be sure to ask about it. If you are staying in a hotel you can ask the captain for suggestions of restaurants close to the marina that will cook your catch for you!
