There’s a fish with your name on it in Jan Thiel and Wazapap Private Charters will help you catch it! Captain David will be your guide, giving you access to years of angling experience.

Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Great Barracuda, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the season. On these trips, you can expect to troll.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board.

Your day begins aboard a 44’ Luhrs convertible with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board as well as bbq on some trips.

WazapapPrivateCharters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Jan Thiel. So, how about booking that trip?
