The
island holds big game fishing tournaments periodically but daily fishing
charters are available any day.
Marlin, Dolphin, Wahoo are the most common game fish in these waters. If you have your own rod and tackle however you can try salt water fly fishing from the beaches, its still a relatively undiscovered past time here.
Deep-sea fishing is a popular St. Maarten activity, with full-day and half-day charters available year-round. The best fishing grounds are conveniently near the island, meaning less time spent traveling and more time fishing. Charters usually include tackle, bait, food, and refreshments. Bareboat charters are also available. The day's catch can include yellowtail, snapper, grouper, and marlin. Tarpon, barracuda, snook, bonefish and jacks can be caught year round.
