My husband is interested in fishing at Castaway Cay. We have a son who is 12 that would like to join him. What kind of fish do they catch? How far out does the boat go? Can anyone tell me their experiences?

Thank you and happy cruising:wave2:

I have seen other reports on the board re this and read reports in the passporter, all are good and everyone says its good fun, not sure what they catch but all report catching decent sized fish and sometimes seeing dolphins etc it's very popular so book early, we're doing it on our october cruise with DS 13. I know 12 will have to wear a lifevest and there are no loos onboard. :D
 
DD even caught a SHARK! Highlite our her cruise!

Patrick and his crew are awesome!

As mentioned, there is no facilities but they do have non-alchoholic drinks provided. The best part I liked, they will put the bait on for you!LOL

It is bottom fishing, but still a lot of fun! Bring lots of film!

I went last Dec 26th. A great time was had by all.

Patrick and crew were great.

First went out past the Ship and anchored over a reef. Two of our group were a father and his 12 yr old DS from michigan. As luck would have it the boy was reeling in the first fish. Since the water was so clear you could see it was a nice "butterfish".

BUT...

Just as he got it to the surface a big shark came out of nowhere and tried to eat his catch!

That boy jumed about three feet out of his skin!

We were into the sharks about 10 minutes. Great fights but the sharks were just too big for the tackle.

Then we moved where we caugh nice grouper (including strawberry, which I'd never seen before) and permits (i think) as well as a number of trigger fish.

Very cool

Register early, though!

We're booked for fishing on CC during our 7/11-15 Wonder cruise. We booked our cruise last Aug., and I couldn't wait to get to our 60 day mark so I could book the fishing trip. I can't wait. We fish a lot, and I don't care what we catch. I can't wait to fish in crystal clear water. If you're a true fisherman, I'm sure the experience would be wonderful.
