Ready for an adventure of a lifetime? Join the skilled, local crew of Y-Knot Charters for an experience you’ll never forget! Captain Andrew Schirn is a passionate angler who’s favorite thing is seeing his customers smile after he puts them on the fish of their dreams.
The “Y-Knot” is a spacious 38’ Bertram offshore sport fishing boat offering plenty of space for up to 12 guests and lots of shade. This beauty features a restroom, freshwater shower, and easy access to the water thanks to a big diving ladder. It also boasts twin 270 Yanmar engines, a flybridge, beds, downriggers, a fighting chair, an ice-box, and top-notch marine electronics and safety gear.
The captain picks up customers at the yacht club. He explains all about safety, and after that, the trip can start. The captain likes to listen to what his customers want to do and try to make it happen.
West Bay is famous for deep sea fishing. You’ll get to enjoy the ride to the open ocean (up to 9 miles), where you’ll fish for pelagics such as Wahoo, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Barracuda, and more! You can stay close to land and fish the drop-off or, weather permitting, venture farther out to the legendary 12-Mile Bank.
You’ll be using a variety of fishing techniques, including bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, and more. Trolling is the most common and customers take turns while fishing. If it’s reef fishing, 5–6 people can fish at the same time.
You’ll get to keep half of your catch, and when the trip is done, the captain cleans the fish for you to take home. The charter will cover the use of top-quality fishing gear, mostly by Penn. Snorkeling gear, lures, snacks, drinks, and licenses are also included.
You can rely on Y-Knot Charters for a heart-pumping, custom-tailored, and safe adventure out on the sweet-salty waters of magnificent Grand Cayman!

Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (AM)
Captain Andrew and First Mate Jacob were great! They were super friendly and professional. We had great Weather and conditions. When we didn't catch many game fish they anchored on the ref and then we all got the opportunity to catch some smaller fish. They made sure everyone had a great time!

Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (PM)
Had a great time, caught 2 large Wahoo and a small tuna. Andrew and Pierre are a great pair of guys. This was a corporate event and so a mix of skills, interests and physical capability. Everyone had fun and enjoyed eating the fish, prepared by Rackhams, for dinner.

Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (AM)
We took the Intrepid out on a 1/2 day offshore trip. Captain and crew worked hard to get us on the fish. Very helpful getting the youngest meme her of our group on their first tuna. Also, very accommodating to one member of our group that became a little sea sick. Awesome outfit that we will use again.

3/4 Day Trip – Fishing/Stingrays
Captain Andrew was great, picked us up at our location staying at one point, and knew exactly where to go to try and put us on some fish. Caught a wonderful wahoo and another barracuda, and had a great day on the water with him and his first mate Jacob. Very experienced, local and they know the waters well.

Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (AM)
We had a fantastic day. The boat was great, shade and beverages provided. We had a blast fishing too. We asked specifically to catch something we could eat and Andrew made sure we got just that! Caught a beautiful mahi that fed a family of 6 for days!
