What To Expect
Our Deep Sea Fishing Charter for the serious angler offers 7.5 hour trip, departing from our marina in Cole Bay. Because Sint Maarten enjoys a diverse ocean geography we can enjoy the best of all worlds. Whether you like to fish deep, shallow, on the surface or on the bottom, we are spoiled for choice. Just off-shore we have several productive shoals and wrecks to go after smaller reef species. Just 3 miles off-shore we are in deep water where we can go after larger pelagic species, either by trolling or drift fishing. On our off-shore charter, there are several productive fishing grounds ranging from 10 to 30 miles off the coast of Sint Maarten. 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. We provide all the fishing gear you will need but you are free to bring your own if that is what you feel comfortable with.

5.00We had the BEST time on our deep sea fishing trip. We took 2 small kids (5&7) that were a little scared at first but they slowed down to make it more comfortable for the kids. We caught a couple barracudas and 5 Mahi Mahi. They cleaned our fish afterwards so we could take it to a local restaurant which was a delicious. The kids got to feed the tarpon afterwards too. Overall amazing experience and memories. My son’s favorite part of our trip.
A great day on the water

5.00Had a great time on the water. Booked the charter for my son and I. Captain and first mate were very professional and good to work with. Fishing was not expected to be good on our date as the entire season has been slow. We did however manage to catch 3 fish on the day. The crew fileted them upon return, and we plan to cook them in a few days with friends on the island. To clarify, the fish are caught by trolling on the sea. You do not hold the rod and reel until a fish bites as they troll, so it is not a typical fishing style where you are active with the rod and reel all of the time while on the boat. A light lunch is provided and you have unlimited beer, water and soda while on the boat. We would recommend this tour to others.
Great time,Loved it.

5.00El Jefe Juan Pablo (JP) and Ricky were awesome! They tried putting us on some tuna and didn't see any action, so instead of trolling for hours they brought us in to bottom fish and got lots of action and caught a lot of fish! We had a great time!
GREAT DAY!

5.00JD & Randy took the four of us out for a day of deep sea fishing, and we couldn't be happier. We hit on wahoo, mahi, barracuda and possibly the world's smallest blackfin tuna. Jay truly loves his job, as he was as excited as we were (maybe more) when we hooked a fish. Randy was great - taking care of the small details so we could enjoy reeling them in. The mahi and wahoo made for a delicious dinner despite us not finding the "fish" setting on the microwave. Thanks so much!
Book Here!

5.00JD and Randy took me on a fishing trip that I will never forget! Caught a bunch of fish power trolling, including a really nice 48 lb. Wahoo, a Mahi Mahi, a butterball Skipjack tuna, a bonita tuna, and many barracudas. We also lost another really nice Wahoo boatside. What a day (or 3/4 day, rather)! Highly recommended captain and first mate, as they made me feel comfortable and were good conversationalists and knowledgable about the history of St. Maarten and the surrounding islands. And most importantly, they are out there fishing every day and know where to find the fish and how to catch them! Sandwiches for lunch were damn good, as well. Book here if you want you get put on the fish!
A Mahi at last!!

5.00Went out for a 3/4 day of fishing and had an amazing day. This was our second trip with Craig and his team in as many years and it could not be more perfect. The boat is perfect for the conditions with a clean, working washroom with fresh water and plenty of seating and shade from the heat. The team is knowledgeable, knows where to find a variety of fish and are very friendly and great fun! Money well spent fish or no fish, but the bull Mahi made the 10 year hunt so much more special. The coconut reef team will be our first call next time and I will highly recommend them to friends. Thx Craig!! Definitely one we will remember for a long time to come. Marius and Kelsey

5.00We had a very pleasant trip with an experienced and hard working crew. We caught one mahi, a large yellowtail snapper and 4 barracuda. All were trolling. They kept trying different baits speeds and areas. We even tried fishing 900 feet with electronic reels. The boat is not your typical deep V but a powered catamaran which provides a huge deck for fishing. It has a 12 foot beam. I will definitely use them again when I return
Great day fishing
