WahooSan Salvador is especially well known for its wahoo. These exceptionally fast, powerful fish draw anglers for the winter wahoo season, and exceptionally large wahoo have been reported here, including catches over 140 pounds.

A short run 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.
Private fishing charters
Whether you are chasing a trophy wahoo, looking for offshore tuna, or introducing your family to fishing in The Bahamas, we help create a memorable day on the water. Every charter is private: your group, your boat, your crew.
Target wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi, marlin and other offshore gamefish along the drop-off.
