My wife and I will be celebrating our anniversary in the beautiful STJ in August and we would love to catch some marlin along with some fish we can eat. Can someone please point me to a charter that would allow me to keep what I catch and possibly dry ice ship it back home? Thanks in advance! Look forward to being on island again.

You may have to check with the individual fishing charter companies. Most allow a portion of catch to the charter guest and they sell the rest to help defray fuel costs.

I think the Atlantic Blue Marlin ( Boy Scouts) tournament is at the end of August this year so if your dates conflict, it may be hard to find a fishing boat not already engaged.

Abigail III, Black Pearl, Bluefin II are all great boats with solid captains that consistently perform.

Hope you only wish to do "catch and release" for marlins. Take a picture and let 'em go!
