Where is the best deep-sea fishing in the Caribbean?

The best deep-sea fishing in the Caribbean is where the shelf drops fast — the Bahamas out-islands, the North Drop off the Virgin Islands, and St. Thomas’s marlin grounds. The North Drop is the storied one: the seafloor falls thousands of feet within a short run of Virgin Gorda, and blue marlin stack there in late summer. The Bahamas serve mahi, wahoo, and tuna along the Exuma Sound edge nearly year-round. St. Thomas has hosted marlin tournaments for decades. A charter yacht fishes the passages between islands, or the crew books a dedicated sportfisher for a day while the yacht stays put. August and September peak for billfish. Base in the British Virgin Islands.
