Hook Into Caribbean Gold: 6-Hour Deep Sea Adventure
Ready to chase some real monsters of the deep? This private 6-hour fishing trip with Elimar Fishing Tours puts you right in the action zone of the Caribbean Sea. We're talking world-class pelagics like Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo that'll test your skills and maybe even break a few records. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line offshore, our expert crew's got your back. We'll provide all the gear, local knowledge, and fish-finding expertise – you just bring your A-game and maybe a cooler of your favorite drinks. It's time to make some serious fishing memories!
What to Expect on the Water
As soon as we clear the harbor, it's game on. We'll be cruising to some of the Caribbean's most productive fishing grounds, where the continental shelf drops off and big fish come to play. Our fully-equipped boat's got everything you need for a successful day, from top-of-the-line rods and reels to fish-finding tech that'll put us on the bite. The crew's always scanning for birds, bait balls, and other signs that'll lead us to the hotspots. Once we're in the zone, we'll set out a spread of lures and live baits designed to entice those trophy fish. When that reel starts screaming, be ready – you might be in for the fight of your life!
Offshore Fishing 101
If you're new to deep sea fishing, don't sweat it. We'll be using a mix of techniques to target different species. Trolling's our bread and butter out here – we'll cruise at just the right speed, dragging a spread of lures or baits behind the boat. It's a deadly method for attracting predators like Marlin and Mahi. We might also do some live baiting, especially if we're after Wahoo or Tuna. The crew will help you get comfortable with the heavy-duty gear and show you the ropes on fighting big fish. Just remember, when that rod bends double, it's your time to shine! Set that hook, hold on tight, and get ready for some serious fish stories.
Fish Tales from the Deep
"Landed some Mahi and had a close call with a Marlin! Even though we didn't bring it in, the trip was well worth the price and made for a great day on the water." - Seth
"Captain Marcel and his deckhand were friendly and worked hard the entire trip to put us on fish. We ended up landing 7 barracuda while trolling. Great experience—highly recommend this boat!" - Chris
Top Catches This Season
Atlantic Sailfish: These acrobatic speedsters are the pride of the Caribbean. Known for their incredible aerial displays, Sailfish can tailwalk across the water and make blistering runs that'll have your drag singing. They're most common in the cooler months, but we see them year-round. Landing a Sailfish is a bucket-list catch for many anglers.
King Mackerel: Don't let the name fool you – these aren't your average Mackerel. Kings are sleek, toothy predators that can top 50 pounds. They're infamous for their blistering first run and tendency to cut through lighter leaders. We often target them while trolling, and they make for some fantastic eating if you're into smoking fish.
Blue Marlin: The heavyweight champion of the Caribbean. Blue Marlin are the ultimate trophy, known for their size, power, and those iconic bill-slashing attacks on the bait spread. They're here year-round but peak in the summer months. Even if you don't boat one, just seeing a Blue Marlin in action is a memory you'll never forget.
Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish, these are the golden prize of offshore fishing. They're as beautiful as they are delicious, with electric blue and green colors that light up the water. Mahi are famous for their acrobatics and often travel in schools, so when we find them, the action can be non-stop. They're great fighters on light tackle and make for some of the best fish tacos you'll ever taste.
Great Barracuda: The toothy terrors of the reef. Barracuda might not be the main target, but they sure know how to put on a show. These ambush predators are lightning-fast and will often skyrocket out of the water when hooked. They're a blast on light tackle and can reach impressive sizes out on the deep wrecks and reefs.
Time to Book Your Spot
Look, the fish are out there waiting, and our calendar's filling up fast. This 6-hour trip is the perfect taste of what Caribbean deep sea fishing is all about. You've got a shot at some serious bucket-list species, a day on crystal-clear waters, and the kind of stories that'll make you the envy of your fishing buddies back home.

Learn more about the species
Atlantic Sailfish
The Atlantic sailfish is a sight to behold, with its iconic sail-like dorsal fin and sleek, powerful body. These speedsters typically grow 7-8 feet long and put up an incredible fight. You'll find them in the warm, blue waters offshore, often near the surface down to about 30-60 feet. Spring and early summer are prime seasons as they follow baitfish migrations. Anglers love sailfish for their acrobatic jumps and blistering runs - hooking one is an adrenaline rush like no other. To improve your chances, try slow-trolling live bait like ballyhoo or pilchards. Keep your drag set light at first, as these fish are known for their initial burst of speed. Once hooked up, be ready for some spectacular aerial displays as you battle this bucket-list catch.
Blue Marlin
Blue marlin are the crown jewels of big game fishing. These massive billfish can top 1,000 pounds, though 200-400 pounders are more common catches. You'll find them in deep, offshore waters, often following temperature breaks and bait concentrations. Summer and early fall offer peak action. Anglers dream of tangling with a blue marlin for their incredible size, raw power, and acrobatic fights that can last hours. Trolling with large lures or rigged baits is the go-to method. Keep an eye out for frigate birds, as they often mark marlin feeding on the surface. When you hook up, be ready for smoking runs and spectacular aerial displays. Patience is key - these fish have incredible stamina, so settle in for a long, memorable battle.
Great Barracuda
Great barracuda are the toothy terrors of the reef. These sleek predators can reach 5-6 feet long and pack a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth. You'll find them lurking around reefs, wrecks, and channel edges in 20-100 feet of water. They're around year-round but most active in warmer months. Anglers target 'cudas for their lightning-fast strikes and acrobatic fights. When hooked, they often leap clear of the water, shaking their heads to throw the hook. For the best action, try trolling tube lures or live bait near the surface. Wire leaders are a must to prevent bite-offs. When you hook one, be ready for blistering runs and aerial displays. Just remember to keep your fingers clear of those teeth when landing them!
King Mackerel
King mackerel, or "kingfish," are sleek, torpedo-shaped predators that'll test your tackle. Adults typically run 20-40 pounds, but 50+ pounders aren't uncommon. Look for them around offshore structure, especially near bait schools in 30-150 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons as they migrate. Kingfish are prized for their smoking runs and tendency to skyrocket when hooked. Their firm, oily flesh makes great smoked fish dip too. For the best shot at a big one, slow-troll live blue runners or ribbonfish on wire leaders. Keep your bait near the surface, as kings often attack from below with explosive strikes. When you hook up, hold on tight - their initial run can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds.
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi mahi, also called dorado, are some of the most colorful and acrobatic fish you'll catch. They typically run 15-30 pounds but can reach 50+. You'll find them near floating debris and weed lines in blue water, often in depths of 120-180 feet. Summer and early fall are prime seasons. Anglers love mahi for their beautiful colors, high-flying antics, and excellent table fare. They often travel in schools, so multiple hookups are common. To find them, cruise along weed lines looking for birds or floating debris. Once you spot some, toss out live baits or colorful lures. Mahi are aggressive feeders, so the action can be fast and furious. Keep a few hooked fish in the water to hold the school close to the boat.
