Cristal Fishing Charters
Explore the crystal clear waters of Sint Maarten with Cristal Fishing Charters! Join Our Experienced Captain who’s been fishing in the area most of he's life and knows every trick from the book. He’ll help you catch the fish of your dreams, get better at something new, and have fun doing it. Leave the beach behind and explore everything that deeper waters have to offer.
You’ll be fishing on a Bertram 35ft boat that accommodates up to 8 guests. She’s powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha engines and reaches a maximum speed of 25 knots. Besides modern navigational electronics, stabilizer Seakeeper, and safety gear, the boat also features a cooler and snorkeling gear. For your exclusive comfort, we have a toilet available on board. It’s hard to resist the temptation of jumping into this beautiful water, so the captain makes sure you have the equipment for an even better experience.
There are all kinds of nearshore and offshore species you can go after, depending on the season, such as Red Snapper, Wahoo, Almaco Jack, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and more. Mostly we do trolling, but on special reques,t we can do bottom fishing to get a chance for all species and see which technique you prefer. You can release the catch or share it with the crew.
All fishing equipment and water are included in the price. You’ll need your sun protection. It’s recommended to take your medicine before you start the trip in case you get seasick.
Cristal Fishing Charters offers full-day and half-day trips year-round. Set a date and join the captain for a new adventure!

3/4 Day Trip
Great crew but things you should know ahead of time!
Miguel and Coco were great! The boat had no where to sit only on top a cooler and one chair. The chair had partial shade and otherh than that there was zero shade on the boat. The boat didn't have a bathroom so after 7 hours being on the water and not drinking in fear of needing to go we were very hot, burnt and thirsty and needless to say needed to use the restroom. 7% fee for using with your credit card which they don't tell you until you arrive. Nice quiet ride we did hook one fish but it was lost at the side of the boat not anyone's fault it's just fishing. We'd love to have Miguel and Coco take us out again but need a bigger boat, shade, seats and a bathroom. No clue how they can get 4 guests on the boat it was just my husband and I and it was hard to not be in one another's way.

My 2 Grandsons caught a 3 foot Mahi Mahi
Captain Miguel and First Mate Coco are St. Maarten natives and knew the waters. Great service, drinks, all the equipment. Did trolling and bottom fishing. We had a great time and would do it again.

A great afternoon
It was a great afternoon on the water. We only caught one fish (barracuda) but it wasn't for a lack of effort and that's the way it goes sometimes. Miguel and Cocoa were fantastic guides/crew and we had a great day. Recommend!

The crew was great!
We had a fantastic time! The crew had water and ginger mints for us. We even stopped to jump in the water near a beach on the French side. Great experience. My eleven year old raved about it afterwards.
