Big game fishing

The West Indies may be a delight to beach-lovers, but it is definitely a piece of paradise for fishermen. You will never forget these outings –and incredibly sized fish- as long as you start your trip well-equipped and in optimal security. Ask around for the ideal spots to catch the precious wahoo, bonito all year round, barracuda and blue marlin during the second semester, spearfish from March to October, mahi-mahi (or dolphin-fish) from November to May, sailfish from June to November, and swordfish if you choose to fish by night. Big game fishing in Guadeloupe is best on the leeward coast. As a general rule, this activity will cost you around 150€/person/day, including complete equipment and often drinks and sandwiches. Certain boats accept fishermen as well as accompanying individuals, who only participate “morally” in the activity. A note for novices: big game fishing is by no means a relaxing outing... for a first taste of the activity, try a half-day trip.
