The
waters surrounding St. Croix are ideal for sport fishing
and record size catches are not uncommon...be it Off Shore
or Inshore Game Fishing,
Shallow Water and Flat
Fishing. The weather is perfect year round and you will
spend a lot less time getting to the fish than you
are accustomed to elsewhere. This is because the waters
around St. Croix plummet to over 3000 feet very close to
shore! For a half or full day of fabulous St. Croix sport
fishing, choose one of the charter companies below.
