Fishing and Boating

The waters off St. Kitts abound with tuna, wahoo, dorado, kingfish, barracuda, shark, snapper, and mahi mahi. The

creation of man-made reefs has insured a plentiful stock and has provided anglers with sure-fire fishing grounds.

Another technique being used to increase your catch is the building and anchoring of FADS (fish aggregating
devices). These raft-like structures made from palm fronds and wooden pallets provide shade and shelter for small

fish in specific areas. They are effective at attracting larger bill fish and mahi mahi, which feed on the smaller fish.
Charters are available to take you out, or you can rent your own craft and go it alone if you choose.
