Join Coconut Reef Powerboat Tours and explore the beautiful blue Caribbean waters off the coast of Sint Maarten! The charter is operated by Captain Craig Nicholls. It’s made up of experienced captains who’ll make sure that your fishing trip is as enjoyable and productive as possible.
Explore the deep blue waters aboard our spacious 38ft Custom Power Cat. The boat accommodates up to 8 guests comfortably. Onboard, you’ll have a full array of safety equipment, a private toilet, fresh running water, and a spacious rear deck.
Capt. Craig will provide all the professional-grade fishing equipment you’ll need, whether it’s trolling for pelagics or deep-dropping for the bottom dwellers. The friendly crew will be ready to assist and advise on the best, safest way to work the gear. Back at the dock, the crew will be more than happy to clean and prepare your share of the catch.
The waters around Sint Maarten are as fish-rich as they are beautiful. Enjoy some of the best views in the world while reeling in some big specimens of the area’s prized fish. You’ll come across a variety of species, including Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Queen Snapper, Yellow-Eye Snapper, Barracuda, and Spanish Mackerel.
Come with your friends and family and make some unforgettable memories! Not just for hard-core anglers, family groups are always welcome. When you’re on vacation, this is a great option for some quality family time. Snorkeling equipment is available on request if you want to explore the amazing marine life up-close
You’ll have snacks and a variety of drinks provided. You can also order lunch for $10 per person. Sandwiches on French baguette (ham and cheese, tuna, or chicken) with homemade coleslaw and condiments. All prepared fresh on the day of the charter. Make sure to wear long sleeves and a hat, and bring some sun protection so you can feel relaxed under the hot Caribbean sun!

My husband and I booked a full day. By ten in the morning he had caught a Mahi Mahi. By one in the afternoon we had not caught anything else and I was loosing hope. Suddenly, our amazing crew switched things up and took us to their secret honey hole. I was pulling up more fish faster than I ever had in my life! Two at a time! We were all smiles as we filled the cooler full of fish. At the end of the day, they filleted our Mahi and we took it to a restaurant by Maho Beach. It was the best fish I have ever had. It was a magical experience, all due to the expertise and hospitality of our guide and captain.

Our original trip with Captain Craig had to be changed due to engine problem. Captain Craig arranged another boat for us at the last minute so we could still go fishing. He even came by in the morning to personally meet us. The boat we went out on also had a good Captain and mate who worked hard to put us on fish. Would definitely book with them on a future visit to Sint Maarten

The wind was blowing , so seas were up a little. There was also tons of weeds adrift, that made trolling difficult. Captain Randy and first mate sparrow were great. They kept us comfortable and put us on fish. Great trip. My kids are 10 and 12 and they had a great time. We ate grilled mahi tonight. Excellent experience.

We started off doing some trolling. After a couple bites, but no luck we went and did bottom fishing. The kids and I had an absolute blast as a family. We caught probably 30 fish from the bottom.
