Pro Series Full Day Deep Sea Fishing with Wahooters

A Deep Dive into the Pro Series Full Day Deep Sea Fishing with Wahooters

Imagine being out on the water for nearly nine hours, surrounded by turquoise waters and the promise of catching some of the most sought-after big game fish in the Atlantic. For those visiting Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, this private fishing adventure offers a blend of thrill, tranquility, and authentic connection with nature. Led by Captain Chris and his expert crew, the trip costs around $5,766 for up to eight people — a price that, while on the higher side, promises a day packed with action, scenery, and memories.

What we love most about this trip is how efficiently it balances adventure and relaxation. The boat, Wahooters, is equipped for serious fishing, with lines in the water just 30 minutes from the marina, thanks to the proximity of 7,000-foot depths just offshore. Also, the chance to visit an abandoned island, once used by pirates, adds a fun historical twist to the day. The trip is perfect for groups of friends, families with older kids, or even dedicated anglers looking for a premium, private experience.

One potential consideration is that the trip can get bouncy when heading out into open water, especially in summer, so travelers prone to seasickness should come prepared. Also, this is a full-day commitment, so it’s best suited for those ready for a long, active day at sea rather than a quick afternoon excursion.

Overall, if you’re craving a true deep-sea fishing experience in Turks and Caicos, this tour offers excellent value for those who appreciate expert guidance, prime fishing spots, and pristine scenery. It’s especially well-suited for anglers eager to target species like blue marlin, tuna, mahi mahi, and others, or simply for travelers eager to spend a full day on the water soaking in the stunning landscape.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

Starting Point and Departure Logistics

The adventure begins early at Turtle Cove Marina, with a 7:00 am pickup included if you’re staying in the Grace Bay area. We appreciated the smooth transfer and the friendly crew ready to brief us on safety and what to expect. Being part of a private tour meant we had the boat to ourselves, avoiding the crowded feeling that sometimes comes with shared charters.

The Itinerary and What You’ll See

Once aboard Wahooters, the crew provides a comprehensive safety briefing tailored to all experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned anglers. The trip heads west around Northwest Point, offering a scenic view of Providenciales’ rugged coast, then turns south along the reef. This part of the journey is somewhat bouncy, especially if the sea is rough, but we found that it added to the sense of adventure rather than detracting from it.

The real fishing action begins as the crew starts trolling along the reef, where the waters teem with wahoo, mahi mahi, and barracuda. The crew’s local knowledge shines here, as they know exactly where the hunting grounds lie. The abandoned island stop is a highlight: an eerie, quiet spot with coves that once served as pirates’ hideouts. The shoreline’s secretive atmosphere makes for intriguing photos and a brief break from the fishing.

The Fishing Experience

The trip’s summer season promises catches of blue marlin, yellowfin, blackfin, bigeye, skipjack, albacore tuna, and mahi mahi. In winter, the focus shifts to big wahoo, white marlin, sailfish, and more tuna species. The crew is adept at setting up the right bait and offering tips, but even if you’re new to fishing, the crew’s patience and expertise make it accessible.

From the feedback we’ve seen, many travelers appreciated the professional approach. One reviewer mentioned, “The crew was very attentive and made sure I caught fish — I even got a big tuna!” While others appreciated the quiet beauty of the sea, noting that the stunning views alone make the trip worthwhile.

Food and Drinks

The tour includes a lunch along with bottled water, sodas, snacks, and alcoholic beverages, allowing you to unwind after a productive morning or while waiting for the next bite. The all-day format means you can truly relax and enjoy the scenery with a cold drink in hand.

Return and End of the Trip

After a full day of fishing, the boat heads back to Turtle Cove Marina around 4 pm, giving you time to freshen up or explore more of Providenciales. The private transportation included makes the trip seamless, and you’ll leave with plenty of stories — and hopefully, some impressive fish to take home.

The Value of This Adventure

While the price might seem high at nearly $5,766 for a group of eight, keep in mind that it covers all licenses, meals, drinks, and transportation. For anglers and adventure lovers, this premium experience offers exceptional access to prime fishing waters and a personalized, less crowded day on the water.

Compared to other activities in Turks and Caicos, a full day of deep-sea fishing is an investment in memorable moments and authentic marine encounters. Plus, with the trip covering seldom-fished areas, you’re more likely to encounter big game fish rather than compete with other boats.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This experience is best suited for serious anglers seeking a private, customizable fishing day in Turks and Caicos. It’s also a fantastic choice for families or groups celebrating a special occasion who want quality time together on the water. Those who appreciate stunning seascapes and wildlife sightings will find this trip incredibly rewarding. Keep in mind the full-day commitment and weather dependence, so plan accordingly.
