If you want to try real Caribbean fishing without crowds or pressure, this tour at Buccoo Point is a solid pick. You get all your gear sorted, local tips from someone who fishes here every day, plus snacks and drinks so you can just focus on the catch—and maybe soak up some sun while you’re at it.
The first thing I noticed stepping onto the boat at Buccoo Point was the salty breeze—warm, but not heavy. Our guide, Marcus, handed out rods and quick tips before we set off. The water here’s a wild blue you don’t see back home, and honestly, it’s quiet except for the hum of the engine and the odd gull overhead.
We drifted out past the reef where locals say the fish bite best. Marcus pointed to a spot where he’d caught snapper last week—he knows these waters like his own backyard. I got my first nibble just as I was reaching for a bottle of cold water from the cooler. There’s something about waiting on that line, sun on your face, snacks within reach—it’s simple but feels good. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot flying fish skimming by or hear laughter from another boat nearby.
Nope! Beginners are welcome. The guide helps with everything—from baiting hooks to casting lines.
Mainly snapper and grouper, sometimes kingfish or barracuda depending on season and luck.
Yes—bottled water and light snacks are provided on board for everyone.
Kids who enjoy being on boats will have fun, but parents should supervise closely since it’s an active fishing trip.
