Head offshore from Ocho Rios on a well-equipped fishing boat with a crew who know the north coast waters inside out. Whether this is your first time holding a rod or you are chasing a trophy catch, the captain sets the lines, reads the conditions and coaches you through every fight from hook-up to landing.
After boarding at the marina, the crew briefs you on safety and fishing technique before we head beyond the coastline into deeper water. Quality rods, reels, bait and tackle are rigged and ready, and the team helps with hooking, fighting and landing fish throughout the trip. Depending on the season, you may target marlin, tuna, mahi-mahi and other pelagic species that feed in the open Caribbean.
The spacious deck gives room to move when a fish is on, with shade and seating between bites. Our captain chooses areas based on recent activity and sea conditions, adjusting speed and route so the day feels comfortable as well as productive. When lines come in, the crew handles fish care and photos so you can focus on the action and the stories you will take home.
Charters depart from the Ocho Rios area on Jamaica's north coast, where open Caribbean water lies a short run from shore. The marina puts you within reach of productive offshore grounds where pelagic fish move along the drop-off and current lines.
From the dock you can watch the coastline recede as we run out to deeper blue water. Morning departures are popular when the sea is calmer and fish are feeding, though afternoon slots are available when conditions allow.
No previous deep sea fishing experience is required. You should be comfortable standing on a moving deck and following crew instructions during the safety briefing.
Wear non-slip shoes, sun protection and light layers. Bring sunglasses and a hat for long hours on open water.
Our local captains combine years on these waters with a safety-first approach on every run. The vessel is set up for comfort between bites, with shade, seating and the gear you need for a serious day on the water.
The pace is tailored to your group, whether you want coaching for first-time anglers or a focused session for experienced fishers. Tell us your experience level before your trip so the captain can plan tackle and target species for your party.
Meet your captain and crew at the marina, board the fishing vessel and run through safety procedures and the plan for the day. The team rigs rods and prepares bait while you settle in on deck.
Head beyond the coastline into deeper water where pelagic fish feed. Lines go out and the crew monitors bites, helping you hook, fight and land fish throughout the session.
After the fishing window, the boat returns to Ocho Rios. The crew assists with photos and fish handling before you step ashore with stories from the day on the water.
No previous deep sea fishing experience is required. The crew explains how to hold the rod, set the drag and work a fish before lines go in the water.

If weather disrupts your session, your guide on the day will explain any changes.
Policies on retaining fish vary by species, size and local regulations. The crew advises what may be kept or released on the day.
Some guests prefer catch-and-release for trophy species. Discuss your preferences with the captain before lines are set.
