Can I go fishing from a charter yacht?

Answer

Fishing can be available on many yacht charters, but the opportunities depend on the yacht’s equipment, the destination, local regulations, licences and the type of fishing you want to do.

Some yachts carry fishing equipment, while specialist fishing equipment or guides may need to be arranged separately.

Certain destinations and species may be subject to specific restrictions.

Analysis

Fishing is particularly dependent on local regulations and seasonal conditions. A yacht that is suitable for casual fishing may not be equipped for specialist offshore or big-game fishing.

Broker’s advice

Tell us what sort of fishing you’re interested in rather than simply saying “we want to fish.” We can then look at the yacht’s equipment, the destination and whether a local guide or specialist charter arrangement would make sense.
