Light Tackle Trolling, Deep Sea Fishing, and Bonefishing in Turks and Caicos

The waters around Turks and Caicos offer some of the best fishing in the Caribbean. Crystal clear seas, year-round perfect weather, and fish that fight like champions. We're here to help you experience it all during your island getaway.

 

Light Tackle Trolling: Perfect for Everyone

Light tackle trolling is simple but thrilling. You don't need years of experience to catch fish this way.

We use lighter rods and smaller lures. This makes every fight more exciting. You'll feel every pull, every run, every headshake.

Light tackle is perfect with kids. They can handle the rods easily. And when they catch their first yellowtail snapper or triggerfish, they'll never forget that rush of adrenaline.

The best part? These techniques work great for the scale fish that call our reefs home. Yellowtail snapper, grey snapper, triggerfish, and various groupers are common catches. Most trips end with coolers full of delicious reef fish and stories to last a lifetime.

Our 38' Donzi handles light tackle trolling perfectly. The boat has the right gear and space for up to 10 people.

 

 

Deep Sea Fishing: Go After the Big Ones. 

Want to test yourself against something bigger? Deep sea fishing is where legends are made.

We head out to deeper waters where the ocean's apex predators live. Marlin, large tuna, and sharks patrol these depths. The fights can last 30 minutes or more. Your arms will remember it for days.

The Donzi's three 250-horsepower engines get us to the fishing grounds fast. And the comfortable seating means you can fish all day in style and comfort.

 

Bonefishing: The Ultimate Challenge

Bonefishing is different. It's quiet. It's focused. And it's incredibly rewarding. If you know, you know.

We use our 18' skiff, 115-horsepower Beaver Tail Vengeance, for bonefishing adventures. This boat draws only inches of water. That means we can slip into the shallow flats where bonefish abound like ghosts in the shallows.

You'll sight-cast to fish you can actually see. The water is gin clear. Your guide will point out the fish, and you'll cast your fly or lure right to them.

Bonefish are smart. They spook at shadows. But when you hook one, they run like lightning across the flats. It's a rush that stays with you long after you're back on dry land.

We handle every fish with respect. Minimal stress, quick photos if needed, and immediate release. These fish have been here for thousands of years. We want them here for thousands more.

As members of the Turks and Caicos Fly Fishing Association, we fish responsibly. We protect these flats for future generations and support our local guides through economic empowerment. When you fish with us, you're choosing responsible tourism that gives back.

 

 

Snorkel Cruise: More Than Just Fishing

Not everyone needs to fish to fall in love and experience with these waters. That's how to best enjoy the unbelievable clarity we call home.

The Donzi is perfect for mixed groups. While some people fish, others can explore the reefs. The boat's sunbed is ideal for soaking up Caribbean sun between activities.

We know the secret snorkel spots around the island. The coral reefs that are still alive and  full of tropical fish. You might swim with rays, turtles, and reef sharks.

Here's an insider tip: we can arrange a spectacular September sunset cruise. The clouds in September are fluffy white cumulus that create a show you won't see anywhere else. Pure magic.
