Adventure brief
Deep Sea Fishing - 1/2 Day
Cast your line just two miles off Grace Bay with Grand Slam Fishing Charters, where world-class Marlin, Tuna, and Wahoo await. Discover why Turks and Caicos is a top Big Game Fishing destination.
Turks and Caicos is famed for its crystalline turquoise waters and world-class beaches, but its offshore bounty is no less remarkable. Just two miles from shore lies some of the Caribbean's most fertile deep-sea fishing grounds, where Grand Slam Fishing Charters offers half-day Big Game Fishing adventures aboard some of the island’s most iconic vessels. Departing from Grace Bay on Providenciales, Grand Slam’s fleet features the Ocean SS Express “Angler Management” and the sleek Bertram Custom Express “Wahooters,” vessels purpose-built for serious anglers seeking premium gear and performance.
These boats combine comfort—with air-conditioned cabins and roomy seating—with efficiency, reaching fishing spots in minutes. The 7,000-foot deep blue waters nearby teem with prize catches like Blue and White Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. The immersive experience is equal parts sport and spectacle.
Anglers troll up to ten lines across a wide 40-foot spread, equipped with top-tier Shimano and Penn reels and Magbay lures. The fighting chairs and tuna doors onboard assist in the adrenaline-pumping haul of a large catch. Guided by expert captains familiar with seasonal patterns, guests stand a great chance of landing a Grand Slam—a mix of wahoo, tuna, and mahi mahi.
Beyond fishing, the turquoise horizon sets a vivid backdrop, accented by occasional sightings of barracudas and sailfish sliding through salt-slicked waves. Grand Slam’s charters accommodate all skill levels, making it accessible for first-timers and seasoned anglers alike. With light snacks and drinks included, the trip balances action and comfort.
Whether chasing summer’s Blue Marlin or winter’s monster Wahoo, this half-day excursion embodies the raw thrill of deep-sea fishing in one of the planet’s premier saltwater playgrounds.
