Experiences

Find Your Perfect Excursion

Whether you're chasing Mahi, watching the sunset with champagne, or exploring the islands, Captain Carl builds the day around you.

6 hours: $1,600 + Fuel
8 hours: $2,000 + Fuel
10 hours: $2,400 + Fuel

All tackle, bait, licenses, ice, and water included.

Mahi (Run-and-Gun): Out here, we have a saying: follow the birds, find the Mahi.

Birds are our best fish-finders! Fortunately, down here we don't have to run far to get to "deep" water. During our Mahi season, we like to implement a style of fishing called "run and gun." We look for birds, run to those birds, put out baits, catch fish. When everything lines up perfectly, the action is very interactive and incredibly heart pounding!

Wahoo fishing is a very different approach in which we follow structure with our sonar to locate the fish. Lots of trolling with some bigger lures, zig-zagging between 200 and 1000 feet of water. When that fish hits, hold on, because they fight like a freight train!

After the Catch: Keep what you'll eat. Captain Carl cleans and prepares your fish before you leave the dock.

Maximum 6 passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your excursion.

No. If you're a U.S. citizen, you do not need a passport to visit St. Croix. It's a U.S. territory (part of the U.S. Virgin Islands), so American citizens can travel there with just a government-issued photo ID, like a driver's license. No customs or immigration checks are required either.

However, a passport is still recommended if you plan to visit nearby islands like Puerto Rico's surrounding cays or other Caribbean destinations on the same trip.

Light snacks, beverages, and your sense of adventure. We ask that all drinks be in cans or unbreakable containers rather than glass for safety. For sunscreen, please use reef safe lotion or stick form as spray can affect the vessel's surfaces. If you plan to snorkel, we have some gear, however, recommend you bring your own. Captain Carl and the crew will help stow everything safely.

Yes, but map apps can be tricky with St. Croix addresses. The marina is on the central east end of the island at 5000 Southgate Great Pond Road. Detailed directions will be provided upon booking.

No. All licenses, tackle, bait, ice, and water are provided. Just show up and fish.

St. Croix waters are known for Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, Marlin. Your catch depends on the season and conditions.
