Morning trip(AM)

Awesome 1st time experience

GECONTROLEERD
NIEUW

My wife, 12 year old son and myself booked a morning 4 hour charter for the first time fishing and had a great time. My wife usually gets motion sickness so it was no surprise she got a little sick but she pushed through it and the captain and his son Tristian made sure she was OK. My son reeled in his first fish ever on a boat and caught a total of 3 barracudas. Tristian does not stop moving the entire time changing bait and adjusting lines. The captain brought us out to deep waters looking for the big fish. They told us it was a slow day but it wasn't from lack of work on their part. We had a great time regardless. Would highly recommend and will book again next time in Antigua. Next time we'll catch one for the record book.

Half day trip

Fantastic June Trolling in Antigua

GECONTROLEERD

The wife and I were in Antigua for our 15 year anniversary in late June and booked for a 6 hour trip. Private boat. I have been ocean fishing (in shore and off shore) in several places in the world and this was a great experience despite my wife being extremely sea sick the entire time. Captain Sloan and his mate Terry were awesome on both the fishing and interaction front and were so kind and compassionate to my poor wife who, despite her sickness, stuck it out for about 5.5 hours. We caught some really nice barracuda (5ft), a few nice kingfish, some mahi mahi that our resort cooked up for us later that night, and one extremely irritated trevally that fought like a SOB. Boat and gear were great and so was the conversation. The seas were rougher than I’ve experienced on previous trips, so if you’re prone to sea sickness, I would think carefully about the offshore options. We actually caught a few nice kingfish right outside the harbor and were hooking up steadily all morning. It floundered in the afternoon. Lost two good ones on cut lines. That’s fishing!

Full day Marlin Fishing

Fantastic Crew

i had a private Charter with the Pacific Marlin and I can honestly say they are amazing... very knowledgeable and worked hard to get the fish on.. Unfortunately we had to call the charter a bit short due to sea sickness in the group and the crew were very accommodating. i caught one of my target species and im confident I would of caught more if we had of stayed out.. 100% recommend Captain Sloan and his crew and will certainly use again if I return to Antigua..

Fishing at its finest!!!!

What a great experience!!!! Besides having tight lines the entire trip, the crew was on a different level. Very connected in how they approached fishing and setting formations!!!! Young and talented both worked extremely HARD the entire trip. Dad should be proud of his two boys, can’t state enough how hard they worked!!!! Thank you for an incredible experience and would highly recommend these two brothers on Pacific Marlin. 7/24/25

Half day trip

Great day fishing!

GECONTROLEERD

We are a family of 5, and we enjoyed the half day (6 hour) deep sea fishing trip with Captain Sloan and his son, Tristan. We caught about 15 barracuda, and some were huge! We also caught 4 medium sized TUNA. My youngest son is 13 and he successfully reeled in several barracuda and a tuna! Everyone had fun. We have been deep sea fishing before on other islands, and this was definitely one of the more enjoyable experiences. We even saw some humpback whales splashing around the ocean. The Pacific Marlin is a beautiful boat. We were very fortunate that there was an opening for us to spend the day fishing. We recommend The Pacific Marlin with Captain Sloan and Tristan. We will definitely make plans to fish with them again on our next visit to Antigua. Thank you for a wonderful day!
