Frequently Asked Questions
Visitors can join shared or private charters, from a few hours to a full day, and some longer live-aboard game-fishing trips. Options run from lighter sport fishing to deeper-water charters. Catch can include tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and marlin when conditions are right. Many trips also work as a day on the water with views back to the islands.
Lagoon and inshore fishing is closer to shore, usually shorter, and a gentler introduction. Offshore or game fishing runs farther out, takes more of the day, and targets larger pelagic fish. Seas can be choppier offshore, so it is a different kind of day. Choose by how long you want to be on the boat.
No serious experience is required for a shared charter if you are happy to be shown the gear. Keen anglers can ask for a more technical trip. Motion-sickness remedies and sun protection help more than skill. Say if you have never fished so the crew can set the day accordingly.
