Turks and Caicos Islands Recommended Charters

DEEP SEA  🐟

Excellent blue water fishing is found minutes from the marinas on Providenciales, so you won't have to waste valuable vacation time on transit. Wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, sailfish and sharks are the most common catches. 

REEF & BOTTOM FISHING  🎣
Reef and bottom fishing is typically the pursuit of many types of good eating fish, including yellowtail snapper, red snapper, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, Nassau grouper, bar jacks and horse-eye jacks, barracuda, and cero.
You’ll never know what you’ll pull up. Occasionally, you may get a bite from something unusual, such as a lionfish scorpionfish, sand diver, or even a shark! As is the common practice when bonefishing and deep sea sport fishing, any catch that is not intended to be eaten or used for bait is tossed back.
Charters typically go to the barrier reef that rings the Caicos Islands, and trawl or drop lines either inside or outside the barrier reef. Another common practice is to cruise out in the Caicos Banks, and stop at one of the many isolated coral heads that dot the shallow expanse.

CHOOSING A TURKS & CAICOS FISHING CHARTER

Fishing with one of the local and experienced tour companies definitely increases your likelihood of getting bites.

Generally, booking directly with a fishing company will offer the best rates.  We advise doing a little online research so you’ll have an idea of the going rates.

Fishing tours tend to be half or a full day in duration. Many businesses are quite flexible with hours and groups. Both a private charter and shared excursions are available Due to the typical coastal reef fishing locations (and perhaps also the less-serious attitude compared to sport fishing!), other activities such as uninhabited cay  visits and snorkelling may be part of the day’s activities.         

Snacks, drinks, and all necessary fishing equipment are usually included on tours. Lunch is often complimentary on trips over half a day. Some excursions include a beach BBQ on a secluded cay to roast the day’s catch! Previous fishing experience is typically not required.

FISHING LICENSES AND SEASONS

All visitors and many residents in the Turks and Caicos must obtain a fishing license to legally fish. Daily, monthly, and annual fishing licenses are available, and may be purchased at the National Environment Centre on Providenciales, and at many of the marinas on the island.

In most cases, charter companies will arrange and purchase all necessary fishing licenses for their guests. The Turks and Caicos has fishing seasons for Nassau grouper, conch, and lobster. The Nassau grouper season is typically open from March to November. It’s illegal to be in possession of Nassau grouper outside of the season, as well as to have undersized fish.

If you attempt to DIY fish on your own, it’s your responsibility to be aware of and follow local regulations, including not fishing in a nature reserve or national park.
