Choose The Right Fishing Boat.

When planning a Grand Cayman fishing charter, consider the fishing vessel. Opting for a larger boat generally ensures a smoother ride and ample space for deep-sea fishing adventures. A 28’ or larger boat is recommended for most groups, providing enhanced comfort and roominess. If you have four or more anglers, selecting a vessel with spacious stern (rear) fishing areas is advised. For those planning a 6- hour trip to 12 Mile Bank, a faster boat is preferable to reach fishing grounds swiftly, maximizing fishing time. Regardless of the boat’s size, all charters on fishcaymanislands.com maintain their vessels meticulously. The boats are clean, comfortable, and equipped with functional bathrooms and all necessary safety gear. Regular inspections by marine tourism authorities, insurance as a charter vessel, and the requisite permits ensure the highest safety and compliance standards.

Choose your Fishing Experience.

Determine if Deep-Sea Fishing, Reef Fishing, or Tarpon Fishing is best for your group.

Grand Cayman Deep-Sea Fishing

Experience the traditions of Grand Cayman Deep-Sea Fishing, where anglers engage in a thrilling pursuit of Wahoo, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, or Barracuda. The primary technique involves trolling multiple lines baited with lures or bait in waters ranging from 400 to 700 feet along the “wall.” This location is characterized by a swift drop-off in the ocean floor to depths of 1000 to 3000 feet or more. The boat typically maintains a speed between 7 and 9 knots. Alternatively, when specifically targeting Grand Cayman Yellowfin Tuna, the primary technique is “drifting and chunking.”

Grand Cayman Deep-Sea Fishing is best for groups that are comfortable on a boat, looking for big thrills, or having some fishing experience.

Grand Cayman Reef Fishing

Reef fishing offers fun and excitement for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Many Families or groups choose Grand Cayman reef fishing for their fishing experience. One of the advantages of reef fishing in Grand Cayman is the accessibility to multiple fishing spots, each teeming with different species. Certainly, this is important when the weather is unfavorable for deep-sea fishing. In addition, Reef fishing is easy for novice and younger children. Further, it offers more comfort for those who don’t like being too far from shore or may get seasick on long boat rides. Typically, you catch more fish while reef fishing than while deep-sea fishing.

Grand Cayman Deep-Sea Fishing

Experience the thrilling traditions of Grand Cayman Deep-Sea Fishing, where anglers actively pursue Wahoo, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, or Barracuda. The primary technique involves actively trolling multiple lines with baited lures or bait in waters ranging from 400 to 700 feet along the “wall,” characterized by a swift drop-off in the ocean floor to depths of 1000 to 3000 feet or more. The boat maintains a speed between 7 and 9 knots. Alternatively, when targeting Grand Cayman Yellowfin Tuna specifically, the primary technique is “drifting and chunking.”

Engage in the exhilarating activity of deep-sea trolling in Grand Cayman, combining excitement, anticipation, and patience. Anglers experience a range of emotions during the wait for a catch, from the exhilaration of the unknown to the disappointment of missed opportunities, ultimately leading to the satisfaction of a successful catch. This traditional fishing method features moments of tranquility, interrupted by the thrilling sound of a reel screaming as the line is rapidly pulled off. Subsequently, the process of line retrieval begins, culminating in bringing the fish to the boat. The final step involves gaffing the fish and hoisting it over the rail.

Alternatively, employ the “drifting and chunking” technique when specifically targeting Grand Cayman Yellowfin Tuna. This method involves creating a chum slick with bait chunks to entice tuna with an easy meal. As the boat drifts naturally, anglers extend their lines to cover a larger area and present baits at different depths.

Grand Cayman Deep-Sea Fishing is ideal for groups comfortable on a boat, seeking big thrills, or possessing some fishing experience.
