Galapagos Marlin Fishing

THE ULTIMATE GAMEFISHING CHALLENGE

Galapagos Heavy Tackle Marlin Fishing

Description

Year-round Marlin Fishing is possible in the Galapagos Islands. The numerous underwater seamounts and confluence of three major marine currents creates the perfect habitats for Marlin Fishing.

Black, Blue, and Striped Marlin are common visitors to the Galapagos underwater sea mounts all year round; however, the best months of the year for Blue Marlin fishing are from December to April when the seas are calm and warm. Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi and Amber Jack can be fished any time of the year as well, so there is almost always something biting. Visiting the Galapagos Islands in the off-season allows for more flexibility with accommodations and day tours. Though any time of year is remarkable fishing!

We offer Marlin Sport Fishing Charters year-round to match any angler’s schedule. We can depart from either Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz or Puerto Baquierizo Moreno on San Cristobal. Both of these locations give easy access to prime seamounts.

If you are a true heavy tackle enthusiast, we recommend dividing the experience into five days, visiting any of these locations: the surrounding sea mounts of San Cristobal Island, Rosa Blanca and the 0´88, Oveja Negra, Española or the 0´30 near Santa Cruz Island. We custom design your sport fishing charter to meet your needs and resources. Contact us today to start designing your epic Galapagos Marlin Fishing adventure!
