The Journey to the Fishing Grounds
Just 20 minutes into the trip, lines are cast into the water, a quick start that keeps the excitement high. The crew’s efficiency means you spend more time fishing than traveling — a crucial point for those eager to land a trophy fish. The boat trolls along the wall, a famous fishing spot just two miles from the coast, where the waters are teeming with potential catches.
The Fish Species and Catch
Turks and Caicos is celebrated for its marlin, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, and monster wahoo — all readily accessible within a short boat ride. The crew is experienced at locating these prized species, and based on reviews, most anglers enjoy a good chance of hooking at least one big fish during the trip.
One reviewer mentioned the crew’s skill in targeting the best fishing spots, increasing the likelihood of success. Another shared that the crew, including captain and mates, are friendly and eager to help both seasoned anglers and newcomers. The boat’s trolling along the wall is set up with high-quality gear, so your chances are optimized.
Comfort and Amenities on Board
While offshore fishing is inherently an active sport, Reel Buoys offers some comforts. Passengers can enjoy music, snacks, sodas, water, or even light beer, making the experience more relaxing. The crew provides a safety briefing at the start, and you can rest assured knowing that the boat is well-maintained and equipped for safety.
Post-Fishing: Cleaning and Filleting
After a successful day on the water, the crew will clean and fillet your catch, so you can take home fresh fish to enjoy later. This added service enhances the value of the trip, turning a day of adventure into a culinary treasure for your vacation.
