Bring a towel , hat and sunscreen
when setting out on a day-trip on the
water. There is a $25 customs fee for

Sportfishing
Perched on the edge of the Puerto Rican trench,
the Virgin Islands offer some of the finest fishing
grounds in the world. The waters are home for
such challenging sportfish as blue and white mar-
lin, wahoo, tuna, dolphin fish (mahi mahi), kingfish and
snook, among others. Over 24 world records have been set
here, but you don't have to be a world-class angler to have a
lot of fun. There are half-day and full-day charters for
deep-sea fishing and in-shore fishing of bonefish, grouper,
mackerel and snapper. You can keep your catch and have the
crew filet it for you.
Blue marlin, the most sought-after catch, draws fishermen
from all over the world for the Open Atlantic Blue Marlin
