The waters around us

The life beneath the surface.

Our coast is alive year-round. Pelagic game fish patrol the blue water, reefs shelter turtles and countless smaller species, and in season whales and dolphins pass close to shore. Here is a look at the wildlife you may encounter out with us.

What we offer

The fish, mammals, and reef creatures that share our waters — what you might meet, and when the seasons bring them close.

Game fish

Yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and marlin working the blue water offshore through the season — along with mahi-mahi (dorado), fast and acrobatic in gold and green, hunting the current lines and one of the most spectacular fighters to catch.

Turtles & reef life

Green and hawksbill turtles, rays, and clouds of reef fish over the shallow coral gardens.

Whales & dolphins

Pods of dolphins year-round, with humpback whales passing close to the coast in migration season.

Responsible watching

We keep a respectful distance and follow local guidelines so the wildlife stays wild and undisturbed.

Game fish

Sailfish, the crown of the blue water.

The most spectacular sight offshore — a sailfish lighting up in electric blue and raising its towering sail as it hunts. Blisteringly fast and famous for its leaping runs, it is the prize of the open ocean and the fish every angler dreams of raising.

Game fish

Mahi-mahi, the golden fighter.

Unmistakable in gold and green and famous for its acrobatic leaps, the mahi-mahi (dorado) hunts the current lines and floating debris offshore. Fast, hard-fighting, and spectacular on the surface, it is one of the most prized game fish in our waters through the season.

Game fish

Yellowfin tuna, the blue-water powerhouse.

Built for speed and stamina, the yellowfin tuna patrols the open blue in fast-moving schools, its long golden finlets flashing as it hunts. A relentless, powerful fighter that tests any angler, it is one of the most sought-after catches offshore through the season.
