Chasing Marlin: Pro Series Full-Day Deep-Sea Fishing to West Caicos
Head offshore from Providenciales for a full-day, Pro Series deep-sea charter to West Caicos. Expect fast runs to 7,000-foot depths, big-game species by season, and a professional crew that handles baiting, cleaning, and safety.
The Experience
Before You Go
Prep for sun exposure
Bring SPF 50 sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and long-sleeve sun shirt—reflection off open water intensifies UV exposure.
Treat seasickness early
Take anti-nausea medication an hour before departure if you’re prone to motion sickness; the ride can be bouncy on the way to deep water.
Bring a soft cooler
A soft-sided cooler fits on deck and will keep fillets fresh when the crew cleans your catch at the dock.
Follow crew directions on hooks
Crew safety briefings and hook-handling protocols protect you and the fish—listen closely during the orientation.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •West Caicos drop-off—less fished grounds with steep contours and productive currents
- •Chalk Sound overlook on Providenciales—a short drive for scenic lagoon views before or after your trip
Wildlife
- •Blue marlin
- •Sea turtles and frigatebirds
Conservation Note
Follow crew guidance on size and bag limits; many TCI operators support sustainable practices and encourage catch reporting to protect pelagic populations.
Fishing is woven into Turks and Caicos’ maritime history; the islands’ economy was shaped by coastal navigation and salt raking, and sportfishing has become a major modern draw.
