Turks and Caicos Fishing

Turks and Caicos fishing is available for everyone in the family and no previous deep sea fishing experience is necessary. By chartering a boat with experienced fishermen and guides you’ll have a fantastic day out.

The sea around the islands is full of the most wonderful array of underwater creatures and fish and will provide the whole family with a never to be forgotten experience.

Whether you’re interested in deep sea fishing, reef or bottom fishing, the marine world off the shores of these unspoiled islands offers them all.

The waters here are a sanctuary to many game fish and the Turks and Caicos are known as the Blue Marlin of the Caribbean.

Heading out to sea for some Turks and Caicos fishing you'll encounter such species as Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, Shark, Barracuda and Dolphin in abundance.

If you’re busy enjoying yourself relaxing on one of the many beautiful beaches on the islands during the day, then you can charter a boat for some night fishing.

Leaving the dock at dusk you will be transported to the fishing sight within about 20 minutes, and from there you can fish for Groupers, Snappers, Jacks, Sharks and many more.

On the other hand you may want to introduce your children to the art of fishing. There are many charters which cater for families and provide all the necessary equipment and expertise to help them catch their first fish. The trips can be for just half a day, or for a full day when snacks and drinks are available.

If the family want to go along but all want to do different things, then a visit to different islands will provide reefs for snorkeling and diving, while the angler of the family can fish. This gives the family an opportunity to be together but each participating in their favourite activity.

The Turks and Caicos islands offer what is probably some of the best fishing opportunities in the world. If you stay at Pine Cay for instance, in just five minutes you can be fishing outside the reef just off the “wall” in the open sea.

The beauty of getting to your destination quickly means you’re spending your time fishing not travelling. Once there you’ll be able to catch some really big fish which all makes for a perfect day out.

Pine Cay is an 800 acre private island which is not essentially a fishing destination, but because it offers wonderful beaches and many other activities for family members, is still a great place for those who want to enjoy fishing.

Fishing around Pine Cay is excellent and offers shallow and wadeable flats as well as deep sea fishing. Pods of Dolphin swim with the boat, and occasionally flying fish, Humpback, Beaked and Pilot whales can be seen as well as sea turtles and sharks.

You can also wade out on your own behind the island and have access to large bonefish flats where you can try your hand at bone fishing.

For a fisherman the Turks and Caicos fishing scene is second to none. With the wide choice of amazing fish and the excellent climate and conditions, there really is no better way to spend your holiday.
