Private St Maarten Reef Fishing (5.5 hrs)
What your day looks like
Our Reef Fishing tour is designed for those guests who would like to do some serious reef fishing but also need to cater for non-anglers. We combine a few hours of reef fishing or trolling with a chance to get in a little snorkel or beach time at the end of the day. If you would rather do some serious game fishing, then we suggest our full-day, off-shore charter. If on the other hand, you need to balance your love of fishing with the needs of the family or your significant other, then this is the tour for you. We have some great, productive reefs and wrecks close to shore where we can drop a line and hunt for some nice reef fish. In the Spring through Summer months, the Dolphin/Mahi-mahi come in close, and we can do some inshore trolling.
The experience, in brief
- Enjoy Caribbean Reef Fishing for the casual angler
- Perfect for families, small groups and those with reluctant partners in tow

What to know before booking
Not Included
Gratuities, while not expected, are always greatly appreciated. All gratuities go to the crew who share evenly. As a rough guide, 10-15% of the tour cost is very reasonable. This is entirely optional though. Lunch is not included but can be added for $10- per person
What to Bring
We recommend a good sturdy pair of sunglasses or eye protection. Boat shoes or footwear with soft, non-black soles are always a good idea to avoid stepping on hooks or lures. Don't forget UV protection, hat, long sleeves, sunscreen, etc. We have reef-friendly natural sunscreen available for sale on-board the boat if you do forget yours. Please, Please, Please - no spray-on or tinted sunscreens. One eats the paint on the boat and the other puts stains all over our seat cushions.
Restrictions
If you have any significant medical conditions, please let us know in advance. The tour is not really suitable for pregnant women, persons with limited mobility due to back/hip/joint issues, or those medical conditions like a bad back, knees, etc. We may be able to accommodate certain situations but it is best to check with us first.

We depart from our Marina in Cole Bay at 8 am sharp. The address is 58 Well Road, Cole Bay.
