The stunning island of St. Lucia, nestled right in the heart of the Caribbean, is already firmly established as a premier holiday destination and despite the vast range of activities on offer; it is deep sea fishing that remains one of the most popular.  Whether you’re new to fishing or an experienced angler, St. Lucia is the perfect place to experience this exciting sport. 
 
St. Lucia has some of the deepest water in the Caribbean, offering year-round fishing where you can expect to catch blue marlin, yellow fin tuna, dorado, wahoo and even barracuda.   St. Lucia as a volcanic island means the underwater drop area (where fish mainly congregate) is a mere two miles off the coast; perfect for those anglers who don’t want to venture too far out. 
 
Due to deep sea fishing being so popular in St. Lucia, there are of course a large number of companies offering chartered vessels for hire.  Along with providing an experienced crew who will give you a better understanding of these waters and the species that call it home, most companies will include refreshments, amenities and air-conditioning.  The excursions range from half day trips for the novice angler; to eight hour full-day trips for the more experienced fishing enthusiasts. 
 
The Luxury Travel Guide recommends St. Lucia Fishing, as they have a choice of two luxury private charter boats, including a60 foot Bertram.   Dropping anchor between six and eight miles from the coast, depending on the weather conditions, the company also offers pleasure cruises and overnight trips to the Grenadines and Surrounding Islands.  Mystic Man Tours located in the western area of Soufriere are experts in the field of deep sea sports fishing, and also offer a wide choice of alternate excursions such as whale watching, sailing and snorkelling – a perfect way to conclude your St. Lucia fishing experience.
