Happy Day Charters offers a number of excursions that cater to all levels of anglers. Whether you're a deep-sea 'finatic' or a beginner, each trip can be customized based on your preferences.

Captain Bobby Rose has been fishing the crystal waters of the Cayman Islands since 2005. Over the past years, he's gained a reputation as being one of the top choices for offshore fishing. With his charisma, passion, and knowledge, you and your family are guaranteed to have an amazing day on the water!

Your journey will take place on a 26' Pursuit center console, equipped with top-of-the-line navigational electronics, safety gear, and custom fishing tackle. You'll have a cover over you're head for shade and a multimedia system so you can bump your favorite tunes while you fish.

The boat also comes with a fighting chair, a private toilet, a cooler, and a comfortable deck that accommodates up to 6 guests. Children of all ages are welcome aboard and Capt. Bobby provides kids' size life jackets for them.

On full-day trips, you'll have the opportunity to explore a number of the hottest fishing spots of the Caribbean Sea. Some of these locations include 12 Mile Bank, North and South Wall, East End, and other deep trenches where lots of different types of fish congregate.

You'll target a plethora of species, including Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Mahi, Snapper, Wahoo, Barracuda, and more. On shorter trips, you'll be able to stay closer to shore and catch Tarpon, Bonefish, Triggerfish, Jack Crevalle, and other inshore species.

Top-quality custom tackle is provided, including snorkeling gear in case you'd like to take a dip. Capt. Bobby also provides biscuits, chips, and other quick snacks, as well as cold water and soda.

Happy Day Charters already has everything taken care of for you, including your fishing license. So just bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera and get ready for an exciting adventure off the coast of the Cayman Islands!

Captain Bobby and Travis Were Stellar!
Half Day Trip – Deep Sea (AM) on July 5, 20263 adults

We had an outstanding day on the water with Captain Bobby and Travis from Happy Days Charters. From the moment we stepped aboard, they were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time. They worked hard to put us on fish, and their passion for what they do really showed. The highlight of the trip came after we returned to the dock. Captain Bobby filleted the fish we caught and personally walked us over to Morgan's Seafood Restaurant, where they prepared our fresh catch for us. Enjoying fish we had just caught only hours earlier was such a memorable experience and truly made the day extra special. If you're looking for a first-class fishing charter in Grand Cayman with a crew that genuinely cares about providing an exceptional experience, look no further than Happy Days Charters. Captain Bobby and Travis exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you both for an unforgettable day… we can't wait to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely Incredible Charter
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on April 2, 20262 adults2 children

We had an absolutely incredible day out on the water with Captain Bobby and his first mate Travis! From start to finish, they were attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best experience possible. As a family of four, we were able to pack so much into our trip! Fishing, feeding turtles right from the boat (such a cool experience!), and even kissing stingrays at Stingray City. Bobby and Travis made everything easy and fun, taking the time to explain what we were seeing, identifying fish, and sharing great stories and local knowledge about the Cayman Islands. At Stingray City, they went above and beyond to make sure each of us felt comfortable and got the most out of the experience. Their energy, patience, and expertise really stood out. We have done charter trips before, but this was hands down the best one we have ever had. We can't recommend Captain Bobby and Travis highly enough! If you're thinking about booking, do it. You won't regret it!

Amazing day with Captain Bobby
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on March 11, 20262 adults

What a fantastic experience. Boat was fantastic and comfortable and snacks and drinks were provided and the reef fishing was spectacular. Captain Bobby was punctual, super friendly, full of great conversation and most importantly defintelty knew where to put us on the fish! Very helpful with my son and even heped him reel in a shark (which was released once we realized what was reeled in). I will definitely hire him again when we return to the island and recommend him if anyone is looking for a great time. We caught a ton of fish and had a blast. 5 stars. Total pro!

Father-Daughter fishing
Half Day Trip – Reef Fishing (PM) on March 16, 20261 adult2 children

My husband and daughter spent the afternoon fishing with Captain Bobby Rose and his crew and had an awesome experience. 🤩🥸🎣They caught many fish and the crew even cleaned some for them to take back to our rental! My husband asked the talented folks at Heritage Kitchen near our VRBO to season and cook them for us. It was delicious! 🤗We would highly recommend Happy Charters to take your family out for a reef fishing experience with a very friendly and knowledgable crew!
