Bear in mind that Billfish are strictly catch and release, and everything else you catch, you'll share with the crew. The captain and his first mate will clean and fillet the fish for your convenience.
'The Abigail III' is a 44' aluminum sport fisher and she'll be your ride for the day.

If you need pickup from St. John Island, the captain can arrange it for an additional charge ($50). The only thing you should think about before the trip is packing enough food for your day on the boat. Sunscreen and hats are also a good idea.
Captain Red and 'The Abigail III' welcome you aboard and vouch that they will make your sportfishing adventure truly memorable!

We had a great fishing trip with Captain Red and Donovan on the afternoon of December 22nd! We sailed North from Sapphire Harbor and began fishing North of the Virgin Islands. We started catching fish after about 90 min. By the time that we returned to port, we had caught 2 Barracudas, 2 Bonitos, and a King Mackerel! That evening, we had delicious fish tacos for dinner! We will definitely fish with Captain Red again the next time that we are in St. Thomas! Thank you Captain Red and Donovan!
Captn Red and Donovan were great. My first deep water fishing trip. Started off slow but picked up quick! Caught Blackfin, Wahoo and a barracuda. Booked a ¾ day trip and had time to get on the fish 32 mi off coast. A shorter day amd we wouldnt have gone that far out. A great experience for me amd my family.
