My husband and I went deep sea fishing on a half day trip with Anthony and first mate Magic Mike. We caught barracuda, tuna and mahi mahi, and when we returned to the dock, Anthony heard how I’d love to catch a tarpon and before you know it, he’s got one hooked on the line as Mike was cleaning our fish! Anthony and Mike were upbeat, welcoming and clearly experts at their craft. Would recommend this charter for anyone hoping to hook into some fish!

We have never been fishing in the Caribbean before and didn’t know what to expect but Papa Smurf blew us out of the water! We had an incredible experience with Captain Anthony and first mate Mike. They took us to a couple great spots on the reef and we caught a ton of strawberry grouper, rainbow runners, triggerfish, yellowfin snapper and butterfish. There were times all 4 of us had multiple fish on the line and we ended up with a pile of very nice size fish that was delicious and good for grilling and baking. Anthony and Mike were super attentive, friendly and helpful and even taught some of our novice fishermen a few tips and tricks. Definitely a five star experience, great price, and awesome time and we will be booking again next time we are in St. Maarten.

My husband & I honeymooned to St Martin & we are so glad we booked with Papa Smurf. The crew was so kind, generous & really knew what they were doing. We were fortunate to catch a wahoo, tuna & a few barracuda! When arriving back to the dock they surprised us with a champagne toast which couldn’t have been more thoughtful!
After the charter ended, they sliced up our fish & took us to a local chef who prepared our fresh caught fish for us - it was amazing! This charter was truly the highlight of our trip & I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to lead us through it! I would absolutely recommend Papa Smurf!

Four of us gentlemen embarked on an unforgettable half-day fishing adventure aboard the Papa Smurf with Captain Anthony and First Mate “Magic” Mike.

Our hosts were a couple of very skilled and passionate anglers with a deep understanding of the local waters. Their expertise navigating the boat and ability to read the water were truly impressive.

The highlight of the trip was landing a 45 pound Wahoo.

Captain Anthony and Magic Mike are exceptional hosts. They are friendly and welcoming always willing to go the extra mile making sure we had everything we needed.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in St. Maarten, I wholeheartedly recommend the Papa Smurf. They will undoubtedly make your trip a memorable one. Thanks Guys!

Papa Smurf carefully maneuvered us on our rough seas adventure. caught Mahi and barracuda because of the captain’s persistence. Due to bridge tenders timing we even got a bonus tour. Food, drinks and snacks were more than we anticipated. Thanks for the Sint Maarten fishing experience. Fresh mahi was enjoyed by all!
