This is a planning guide, not a catch guarantee. Bottom fishing is available year-round; winter generally favors wahoo, mahi and sailfish, while tuna and marlin are more common in summer. Billfish are released. On a phone, swipe the chart sideways to see every month.

Seasonal catch & cook

Build a 6–8 hour island fishing day.

A longer charter leaves room to slow down and enjoy a fresh local experience beyond the fishing itself.

  • Dive for conch and enjoy fresh conch salad or ceviche when available.
  • Request lobster diving and a beach-grilled lobster experience during open season.
  • Add a reef swim, quiet cay or relaxed beach stop.

Share your wish list when booking. Seasons, permits and legal fishing areas guide what is available, and your captain will help shape the best plan for the day.

Keeping your catch

Clear rules, handled by your captain.

You can enjoy a legal share of edible catch from your charter. The crew measures, cleans or releases each catch and keeps the trip within the current sports-fishing allowance.

Guest keep allowance

Up to 10 lb or one legal trophy fish

Each sports-fishing licence holder may retain up to 10 lb of marine product in one day’s catch, or one trophy fish. Your captain confirms how the allowance applies to the licences issued for your charter, manages the retained catch and can prepare a reasonable edible share for your group.

Nassau grouper

21–35 inches when open

For sports fishing, Nassau grouper must measure at least 21 inches and no more than 35 inches. The annual closed season is December 1 through February 28, when it cannot be taken or possessed.

Caribbean spiny lobster

Open August 1–March 31

Legal minimum: 3.25-inch carapace or a 5-ounce separated tail. Egg-bearing, soft-shelled and early-spawning “tar-spotted” lobster must not be taken. Lobster diving is a longer-trip request and requires the applicable licence.

Queen conch & conservation

Quota and size rules apply

Cleaned conch fillet has a 4-ounce minimum weight, and annual harvest quotas or notices may affect availability. Turks Ventures releases billfish and sharks and never keeps undersize, protected, closed-season or unwanted catch.

Fishing is not allowed in protected areas, including catch-and-release fishing. Rules, seasons and quotas can be updated, so your captain’s decision controls what may be kept on the day. Review the current TCI environmental guidance, government fisheries information and fisheries regulations.

Fishing questions

Know before you cast.

How many guests does the fishing price cover?

The base fishing charter price covers up to four guests. Each additional guest costs extra according to the charter length, and fishing trips have a maximum of six guests.

Should we choose bottom fishing or deep-sea fishing?

Bottom fishing usually gives families and first-timers more hands-on action. Deep-sea fishing is about the offshore hunt for seasonal wahoo, tuna, mahi and other pelagic fish and benefits from a longer charter.

Are beginners and children welcome?

Yes. Bottom fishing is usually the easiest place to start, and the crew can help with baiting, technique and bringing the fish to the boat. Let us know the children’s ages when booking so we can recommend the best trip.

Which trip should we choose for catch and cook?

Choose at least six hours when seasonal conch or lobster diving and a fresh catch-and-cook experience are priorities. Eight hours gives you more room to add snorkeling, island hopping and a relaxed beach stop.

Do we need to bring rods, bait or a fishing licence?

No. The required charter licence, rods, tackle and bait for the booked fishing style are included.

What fish are biting during my vacation month?

Bottom fishing is available year-round. Wahoo, mahi and sailfish are generally stronger in winter, while tuna and marlin are more common in summer. The fishing calendar above is a guide; daily conditions and migration decide the actual bite.

Can guests keep the fish they catch?

Yes, guests may receive a legal share of edible catch within the sports-fishing allowance. Your captain measures and manages the retained catch, cleans what is suitable, and releases protected, undersize, closed-season or unwanted fish. Billfish and sharks are released.

Where do fishing charters depart?

South Bank Marina is our main meeting point in Providenciales. Another suitable pickup location may be requested in advance; route availability and any additional cost will be confirmed with you.
