Pacific Marlin Antigua

Jolly Harbour Marina on Antigua's western coast serves as the home port for this well-established charter operation. The marina's sheltered position and easy access to the open Caribbean Sea make it an ideal departure point for both offshore fishing expeditions and leisurely day cruises — and Pacific Marlin makes full use of that geography, putting guests on productive fishing grounds quickly and efficiently.

Charter vessels and marine credentials

Two vessels are available depending on the nature of the excursion. The luxury 37 ft Sun Seeker accommodates couples, families and groups for day cruises and sunset sails in comfort, while a dedicated Bertram 28' serves as the big-game fishing platform. Captain Rivi and crew bring more than 15 years of experience on these waters, with detailed knowledge of the productive offshore and coastal fishing grounds around Antigua and Barbuda.

Fishing in Antiguan waters

The waters off Antigua's west coast and around the island's deep offshore drop-offs offer excellent sport fishing throughout the year. Pacific Marlin specialises in two distinct fishing styles:

Deep sea fishing — targeting mahi mahi, tuna and other big game species on open-water charters

Bottom fishing — cruising to known drop-off points along the Antiguan coastline to fish for snapper, grouper and other reef species

All equipment, bait and cold beverages are included in the charter rate, and no prior fishing experience is required.

Location and marina access

Operating from The Crow's Nest at Jolly Harbour Marina in St. Mary's Parish, Pacific Marlin is conveniently positioned for visiting yachts and marina guests on the west coast. Jolly Harbour's well-equipped marina and facilities make it a popular waypoint during regatta season and throughout the cruising calendar, and the charter team is well-placed to accommodate fishing half-days around arrival and departure schedules.

Bookings can be made by phone or email — the team will tailor the trip to suit your party and preferred schedule.
