World-class fishing in San Salvador

World-Class Fishing in the Heart of The Bahamas

San Salvador is surrounded by the deep blue waters of the Atlantic. From powerful wahoo and magnificent blue marlin to yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi and reef fish, the island offers fishing adventures for experienced anglers and first-time visitors alike.

Seasons vary. Ask us what is biting for your dates and the captain will plan your day around it.

A short run from the dock

Deep Blue Water. Minutes From the Dock.

San Salvador sits at the edge of the open Atlantic, where shallow coastal reefs give way to dramatic underwater drop-offs and deep blue ocean.

That means productive offshore fishing grounds without hours of travel from the marina. The deep water around the island attracts wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi, marlin and other pelagic species.

Serious anglers come for the winter wahoo season, while families enjoy fishing adventures, beautiful beaches, swimming and island relaxation.

Less time travelling. More time fishing.

Let's go fishing
