Promenade Sail & SCUBA Charters
Fishing in the Virgin Islands
Fishing is an activity on Promenade Charters which has become extremely popular! We carry several types of poles on board, and various tackle. We can arrange for you to have a fishing license for your stay on board, and we can purchase ballyhoo for trolling as you like.

We are often asked if we can eat the fish caught. If we catch pelagic fish (ie tuna, mackerel, dolphin fish) we will be happy to cook it up on the bbq. Usually within an hour of catching it! We do not keep anything that we catch off the reef, as there is too much chance of ciguatera poisoning, then our policy is catch and release. We have great luck with fishing off the back decks at night in our anchorage.
If you prefer fly fishing, a sport which is gaining in popularity incredibly fast, then Promenade Sail/Dive yacht charters has arrangements with Caribbean Fly Fishing here in the BVI to pick you up at our yacht and take you out for a half day or a day. That way, those who do not want to fly fish can enjoy other activities. Click here for a link to their website for more information on what is available, both around Tortola and Anegada.
And of course, there is always the big one that got away! Occasionally only half a fish comes up on the line! Besides the large fish who take the line and run around the anchor twice, go around the yacht behind us, and then leap around like crazy we have pretty good luck!
