Jeliray Charter & Tours
Offshore sportfishing is a thrilling venture, the spray of the sea on your face, the wind whipping your hair and that huge trophy fish you’ve dreamt of tugging at your line. Join Jeliray Charter & Tours and make that a reality.
Hop aboard their custom-built 40’ offshore sport fisherman, powered by twin Caterpillar engines with 350 HP each. This boat can hold 6 anglers comfortably at the same time. There is a full-head toilet on board, for passenger comfort, as well as a full suite of electronics, ensuring you can find your fish with ease. A flybridge and a fighting chair are also on board, to give you a cutting edge in that fight with the big fish you’ll be going after.
Join Captains Rene Tromp and Swa on exciting offshore fishing tours going up to 7 miles offshore, where the fish are. He will take you offshore fishing utilizing heavy tackle fishing as well as trolling. The species caught are all prestigious, such as Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Albacore Tuna, Great Barracuda, and Mahi Mahi.
The charter provides all necessary equipment for fishing to its customers. Snorkeling equipment is also provided. Sodas and water are available on all trips, included in the price. Guests are advised they can bring their own snacks and beer on the trip.
NOTE: The fish caught is shared 50-50 between the customer and the crew.

Ate the fish we caught for dinner!
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 6, 2024
Both captain and crew were great. We went really far out had one big one that got away and two great mahi-mahi catches. Handed the fish right over to Lucy's restaurant on the Pier, a 20 foot walk from the Jeliray, ordered our sides and 15 minutes later our beautifully cooked fish dinner was ready. Don't worry about the one, 1-star review they received; it was because someone was mad the card reader didn't work. Certainly doesn't have anything to do with fishing, boat, and crew.
