Mystic Amara Fishing Charters is based in Jolly Harbour, Antigua, and runs bottom fishing and deep sea fishing charters during the entire year. Captain Leroy has more than 20 years more than years of experience under his belt and can show you the best spots for a range of fish that can be found in this part of the Caribbean.
You will be fishing aboard the Mystic Amara III which is a 31’ Bertram offshore sport fishing boat, powered by two 200 HP Volvo engines. Apart from all the necessary safety and navigation gear, the boat also has a cooler and a private head for those longer trips. There’s plenty of space on board for up to six people, and the captain provides bottled water, soda, and beer for your pleasure.
Depending on what you want to fish for, you can go up to around ten miles offshore. However, most trips involve going no more than four miles from the shore, which should comfortably put you on depths in the 100’ to 300’ range. Some of the fish you can catch during the entire year are Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and others, while Blue Marlin, and Kingfish are best targeted during the summer months.
The price includes all necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as the required fishing licenses. Make sure to bring a pair of polarized sunglasses, as well as a camera to show off your catch, and also because the vistas are sure to take your breath away.
We depart from the dockside at Basilico Restaurant in the Jolly Harbour Commercial Center.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 30, 2025
We had a great time on our fishing charter in Antigua. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. With six of us on board, we ended up catching four fish—plenty of excitement and some fun competition among the group! The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the views of the coastline were a nice bonus. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a fun outing on the water, this is a solid choice. Would definitely recommend!

Extended Day Marlin Trip on March 14, 2025
As most anglers know when you go fishing you do not always catch! Well what a day on the water! We went out targeting Marlin and although unsuccessful in catching a Marlin the overall day was a success! 2 Mahi, 4 wahoo (largest over 55lbs, 1 king, 3 black fin tuna and about 4 barracuda. The captain filleted out one mahi and one wahoo for us to cook up the remainder of nights in town. Awesome captain and deck hand. GREAT FISHING!

Full Day Trip on June 2, 2025
My husband and I had a great day out on the Mystic. Captain Leroy and mates Aaron and Antoine were the best. They kept the rods baited and the fishing coming. Aaron does a phenomenal job as first mate. He was constantly checking the lines and kept the boat wiped down and clean at all times. They were great at helping us reel the fish in. My arm hurts! Thanks for such a great experience.

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 21, 2025
My wife and I had a fantastic am fishing trip with Captain Lee & 1st mate Aaron, we caught a total of 6 fish, Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, and 4 Barracudas, only had one fish that didn’t make it to the boat. The Crew was very personable, and outgoing which would’ve made out trip enjoyable even if we had caught any fish!
