FISHING
Grenada has two continental shelves, a 3,000 ft and 6,000 ft drop off to deep water, and these are the main fishing grounds. They are close to shore so there is no need for long boat journeys, so fishing can start within half an hour from leaving the dock.
There are also some inshore shallower drop offs, which are great fishing grounds for shorter charters. Fishing in Grenada is year round with the main season between October and May.
To maintain Grenada's abundance of billfish, we operate a strict tag and release policy.
BLUE MARLIN - up to 1000 lbs
The strikingly beautiful blue marlin is the largest of the Atlantic marlins and one of the biggest fish in the world. They are so-called blue-water fish, spending most of their lives far out at sea. They prefer the higher temperature of surface waters, and are among the fastest fish in the ocean. Known for putting up a tremendous fight when hooked, these marine monsters are the ultimate adrenaline rush for sport fishers.
