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!

Mike Reilly5.0VerifiedFun time with my boys
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 19, 2026 • 3 adultsMy two boys and I took a 4hr trip out of Simpson Bay with Daniel and Ashton. We each had a chance to reel in a catch but unfortunately only got one into the boat. We end up with a 15-17lb Mahi Mahi that we split with the crew which was more than enough for me to make lunch for my boys, wife and I. Daniel and Ashton did a great job taking care of three novice fishermen. A great memory for me with my boys.

Tina MitscheleRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBeam me aboard Captain Kirk!
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 15, 2023 • 2 adultsAny day on the water is an amazing day! Jimmy, a.k.a. Captain Kirk made the trip! We didn’t catch many fish, but we caught some! And I caught the teeniest, tiniest, tuna, I’ve ever seen in my life. My husband was lucky enough to reel in a pretty big barracuda. And another one he was reeling in got chomped in half by a shark😱 it was a hot sunny day… but in November, who can complain? Jimmy was an awesome captain, and kept us entertained with his stories and anecdotes. If I caught nothing, I still would have been happy. That is a good day! If you are ever in Saint Maarten looking to go on a fishing trip, I would recommend using Captain James Kirk at Billy Bones fishing charters. I was able to book him through a website called FishingBooker. We will see you again next year Captain Kirk!
Matt Cowan5.0VerifiedA great afternoon
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 11, 2025 • 3 adultsIt 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!
Greg OliverRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMy 2 Grandsons caught a 3 foot Mahi Mahi
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 15, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain 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.
Jeremy Williams5.0VerifiedAmazing crew
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 8, 2025 • 3 adultsThe guys gave us an amazing trip! The fish weren't quite biting but it wasn't for lack of trying. No one gave the fish the memo they were supposed to be eating. We will be back
Stephen DooleyRepeat angler4.7VerifiedGreat trip, but fish were limited
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 22, 2024 • 3 adultsWe enjoyed our trip and loved seeing the island from the ocean. The captain and crew were very accommodating and experienced. They even gave us extra time on the boat to try and catch more fish, but alas, we did catch a couple of barracuda which we threw back. Overall, a solid fishing day
