Cayman Live Bait
Cayman Live Bait
Book a charter with Cayman Live Bait, and you will get a great experience with your family and friends. Captain David Arch grew up on these waters, and he wants to make every moment of your experience one you will always remember!
On his spacious 29’ FT Walk around Boston Whaler offshore sportfishing boat, you’ll have everything you need for an enjoyable time on the water. The boat is very comfortable since it comes with a private restroom. It’ll also take you to the fishing spots quickly, as it’s powered by twin 250HP Yamahas with Cruising speeds of 45 Knots. You can feel right at home while exploring these rich blue waters!
All the fishing gear is provided for your convenience. You don’t need to get any licenses. You’ll fish using live bait which you’ll catch during the trip so that it stays alive. You will fish for a variety of species, including Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, and the captain’s favorite – Red Snapper!
Depending on the trip you choose, you can do some snorkeling as well and explore Stingray City and the Coral Gardens. There is snorkeling equipment on board, and it’s provided for each guest, so you can have a lot of fun enjoying the underwater views of the coral reefs.
Don’t hesitate to bring your kids, and make some great family memories. Underwater photography is also an option, so you can bring all your memories home with you!
Catering, snacks or sandwiches can be provided upon request, and bottled water is always available. There’s a cooler on board, so feel free to bring your own food and drinks. Make sure to bring some towels and some sun protection, so that you can enjoy your day to the fullest!
Cash is the preferred payment method.
Join Cayman Live Bait and have an unforgettable day out on the beautiful blue waters of the Caymans!

4 Hour Trip (AM) – Stingray Tour
Morning Trip with Captain David
We had an amazing experience with Captain David and his first Mate David Jr. They were so nice to the Kids - they got to ride in the first Mate seat on the boat, real-in the fish we caught (we even caught a Grupper!!) and walk around and explore freely. At the coral reef snorkel stop our little one didn't want to go in, and was able to stay with Captain David on the boat. At Stingray City the crew brought multiple stingrays for the kids to hold, pet and have a close encounter with Throughout the trip Captain David answered ALL our questions and explained everything for the kids, and at the end he showed them how to clean and fillet the fish - we were able to take the fillets with us and cook it for lunch - honestly the best fish we've had so far! We had a blast, and highly recommend the experience, even for families with little ones :)

4 Hour Trip (PM) – Deep Sea 4 MAX
A deep sea education
After 3 years of reef fishing in CI we opted for the deep sea adventure. Did a lot of research and selected Capt Dave and his son. Excellent choice as he is an enthusiastic master of his trade, as well as teacher, and hard worker. He has a natural ability to narrate and explain the process, rods, reels, bait, hooks, use of different rods and reels along way, knots, live bait and lures and the outriggers. Any level or skill will enjoy the depth of his knowledge and his willingness to share his strategies and approach. We caught some nice fish, enjoyed the well equipped and stable boat, and highly recommend for families or serious fishing fanatics.

Half Day Reef 4 hour trip (PM)
Exceptional Fishing Experience
Highly recommend. David is a master fisherman and over the top host with the assistance of his son. My husband, son, and myself have minimal fishing experience and non on the open water . David provided everything we needed and his expertise made the experience easy and so enjoyable. There was water, soda, and chips available for us to enjoy. He even shared some homemade conch ceviche with us. In total we caught 3 barracudas. Had a king fish but lost it as we were trying to reel it in . Also had 2 other fish that got away. The experience we had on this boat with David and his son was top notch and would definitely recommend and we cannot wait to come back and join David and David Jr for another great adventure. Book with David. You will not regret it. We learned so much about fishing in 4 hours than I ever thought I would in a lifetime.

Full Day Trip – Earlybird (4 MAX)
A Fisherman's Fisherman!!!
I've been on many, many fishing trips, all over the Caribbean, and I fish at home all the time in my boat, so - safe to say, it's pretty tough to bullshit me. We caught fish, lobster, conch - all while having a wonderful time with someone that could easily be my Brother...nevermind - David is one now! David and his Son, David Jr. are wonderful Christian men, and they know the water, baits, safety, and have a great work ethic & attitude! I would fish with them all week if I could. They will be my ONLY CHOICE when coming back to Grand Cayman. I'll definitely fish with these gentlemen again. I almost hate to leave this review, because I want to keep em for myself! If you pick them, I guarantee - fish or no fish will be a darn good time! They made my trip to Cayman a fantastic success!

Special 4 hour trip for Leah Wilkening
Great trip!!!
This is our second trip with the David crew. We brought extra family with us this time and the trip didn’t disappoint! I highly recommend going fishing with them. While they can’t guarantee catch, we’ve caught multiple each time and everyone had such a great experience. Even our 3 kids under 8 enjoyed! We enjoyed fish for 10 adults with plenty left over for the crew. We appreciate you David - thank you and hope to be back!!!
