Blue Reef are well-known as experts for wahoo fishing. For those who love to catch wahoo, lots of them, and big ones, try to book a trip during our wahoo season. The best months are November, December, and January.
If you are looking to catch lots of billfish such as marlins and sailfish, it’s worth noting that the Caribbean waters are not like the Pacific Ocean. We do catch billfish, and we have several billfish tournaments throughout the year. However, you will not catch the great numbers of billfish that you catch in the Pacific areas such as Costa Rica, Cabo San Lucas and Panama.
For the avid anglers, join us for an exhilarating Pelagic Day adventure! For an extra $1,000 USD, which can be shared with fellow island guests, you can experience a full day of deep-sea fishing for blue marlin, wahoo, dorado, sailfish, and tuna.
