There are several fishing charters available on St. Croix. Catch a big one and you will have a great story to tell the folks back home! Fishing trips are available for ½ day (4 hours), ¾ day (6 hours) or full day (8 hours) charters. Offshore fishing trips for large game fish like Marlin, Wahoo and Mahi-mahi are usually limited to a maximum of six passengers. Charters usually provide tackle and equipment, bait, sodas, water and ice. Lunch is not normally provided but for an extra fee operators may arrange to pick up a boxed lunch for you or you should bring your own.
Prices are around $450-$500 for a ½ day, $550-$600 for ¾ of a day and $700-$800 for a full day fishing charter. Inshore fishing and light tackle fishing for tarpon, snook, permit, for examples, is also available. Inshore fishing is often limited to 2 to 4 passengers depending on the size of the boat. A few fishing charters offer night fishing. (Prices provided for reference only; they vary by charter and are subject to change. They are per boat and not per person.)

Private charters can be arranged just for your group; prices are around $450-$600. Sunset sails are around $30 per person on a group charter and private sunset sails around $300+, the amount varying by size of boat and number of passengers.
