Jolly Harbour has a fish with your name on it, so let Pacific Marlin help you catch it! With Captain Sloan at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Species like Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Blackfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Caribbean Queen Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the season. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 28’ Bertram sportfishing vessel with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Pacific Marlin!

    This is a very intimate trip, it's mostly Booked by couples and families of 3-4. Most times 4 hours is enough time to get the job done. Mahi Mahi and Tunas are mostly targeted on our 4hrs trip so there's always a chance for a meal at the end!

    On a whole day charter, it widens our range of catching much more fish, also there is more time and area to fields out where the big ones are. Usually, there is a bite time and this could fall either in the morning or in the afternoon but there's always a fish biting somewhere... As we know fishing is all about LUCK so remember to wear your lucky t-shirts and bring your lucky hats. Let's see what we could hook & Cook!!????

Capt. Sloan runs trips out of Jolly Harbour aboard a 29’ Bertram sportfishing vessel. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi and Wahoo and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
