Fishing styles and what you might catch
Charters can run deep-sea (offshore) or closer to the reefs, and the waters around Nevis hold mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, kingfish, marlin, sailfish and a range of reef species at different times of the year.
The captain selects fishing areas and techniques according to weather, sea conditions, seasonal activity and recent local knowledge. Catching fish — or any particular species — cannot be guaranteed.
Departure point and transport
Fishing charters can depart from Oualie Beach in Nevis or Reggae Beach in St. Kitts. Your exact departure point is confirmed with your quote. Private transportation to and from the departure point can be arranged on request — see our private transfers or mention it in your enquiry.
Weather and safety
Fishing charters are weather-dependent. The captain may change the route, delay, reschedule or cancel a charter where sea or weather conditions are unsuitable or unsafe. If the operator cancels for weather, we will work with you to reschedule or resolve the booking fairly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the charter private?
Yes. Every Book Nevis fishing charter is private to your group — the boat is never shared with other guests.
Is the price per person or per boat?
Prices are per private charter, not per person. The price covers up to 6 guests on the boat you select.
How many guests can join a charter?
Each boat carries up to 6 guests, and every charter is private to your group.
Which boat should we choose?
Both boats run the same private trips and each carries up to 6 guests. The larger boat offers more deck space, while the smaller boat is a comfortable option for smaller groups. Tell us your group size when you enquire and we will recommend the right boat.
Can we book both boats?
No. Captain Clivin operates one boat at a time, so guests select either the smaller boat or the larger boat for their private charter.
Can two charters operate at the same time?
No. There is one captain, so only one charter runs at any given time.
Is the trip suitable for beginners?
Yes. The half-day charter is a popular choice for first-time anglers and families, and the captain plans the day around your group’s experience.
Are children allowed?
Please contact Book Nevis before booking so we can confirm the latest arrangements for your group.
