Of all the islands in the Caribbean, I personally find St. Lucia to be the most enchanting…with steep terrain covered in lush vegetation, deep blue waters, the wonderful local people, and of course the magnificent Pitons. Deep Sea Anglers Fishing Charters is an excellent charter company that can introduce you to another major attraction in St. Lucia –offshore fishing.

Deep Sea Anglers Fishing Charters is headed by Captain Bebe, and he and his crew operate a well equipped 31’ Betram. The local crew is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the local waters. They offer a range of daily trips catering to both tourists and serious fishermen.

St. Lucia is known for blue marlin fishing and marlin will be the primary target for most full day fishing trips. Immediately offshore the water depths drop off dramatically, allowing for picturesque trolling that often includes a backdrop of the two Pitons – Gros Piton and Petite Piton – which are twin mountains that rise nearly 3,000’ from the ocean on St. Lucia’s southwestern shore.

Other common catches include mahi mahi, wahoo, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, and the tourist pleasing great barracuda. Because of the mountainous terrain, there are many locations in St. Lucia that are best reached by boat, so while I usually recommend nothing but fishing, in St. Lucia a stop at Sugar Beach or Anse Cochon for snorkeling is a great way to spend your afternoon.
