Fishing charters are a great way to enjoy time with friends, bond with the family, or simply get a really great tan while coming home with a tall fish tale or two. Traveling to one of these outstanding fishing destinations around the world is easier than you realize when you use a private jet charter to take you there.

1) Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – The Marlin Capital of the World

More than one million visitors each year visit Cabo San Lucas via The International Airport in San Jose del Cabo. Visitors will find everything from world class resorts to small, quaint little inns from which to launch dream vacations and take in some of the best Marlin fishing and golf courses in the world.

While these beautiful blue waters are best known for marlin, you’ll also find a nice selection of dorado, sailfish, tuna, grouper, roosterfish, and wahoo to take home too. Fishing is good year round, but if you want marlin, you should plan to visit in October and November (and book your charter boat early).

2) Enjoy Private Jet Charters to Canada

It seems that the entire country is one fisherman’s paradise offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy charter fishing. Wide access is available to airports (for instance Nova Scotia has Charlottetown Airport, Port Hawkesbury Airport, Valley Airport, Greater Moncton International Airport, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Digby-Annapolis Regional Airport, Waterville/Kings Co Muni Airport, and more to choose from), large and small, throughout Canada, and the close proximity to many U.S. cities makes Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and Vancouver very attractive destinations for even small private jets to travel.

What kind of fish can you find in Canada? You’ll be delighted by the variety that includes halibut, salmon, walleye, giant Bluefin tuna, bass, northern pike, lake whitefish, and more.

3) Fabulous Fish Finds in Costa Rica

Costa Rica offers outstanding opportunities for anyone who loves the challenge of the deep blue sea and telling tale fish tales – even better when you have the fish (or at least photos of the fish) to back up those stories of man against…giant game fish.

Fish are flying in Costa Rica and charter boats are in abundant supply. However, if you’re not fluent in Spanish you might want to consider booking your charter fishing excursion before chartering your private jet flight so that you can easily find an English speaking crew for your grand adventure.

What kind of fish bite in Costa Rica? You will find many of the common “trophy” fish as well as a nice selection of fish that are better suited for catch and release (like tarpon which put up a grand fight but must people find the flavor unpleasantly fishy), as well as some that are great for eating, like wahoo and mackerel. Different fish in Costa Rica offer better fishing at different times throughout the year, but there is a little something for everyone interested in charter boat fishing no matter what time of year it is.

There is an abundant supply of airports, large and small, where your private jet flight can land, including Tobias Bolanos International Airport, Limon International Airport, Palmar Sur Airport, Daniel Oduber Quinos International Airport, Tambor Airport, and Juan Santamaria International Airport.

4) Bimini, Bahamas (out islands)

Don’t let appearances fool you. These small islands are surrounded by monstrously large game fish including big black grouper, and yellowtail, and mutton snapper – for starters.  There’s a reason Bimini is called the Sport Fishing Capital of the World.

Beyond the beautiful waters and stunning sunsets, Bimini boasts an abundant supply of bonefish and permit. Bluefin tuna arrive each May with marlin following closely behind. Private jets can land at South Bimini Airport for your travel convenience.

5) Belize

In addition to offering some of the most stunningly beautiful waters of the world, Belize is also a haven for people who enjoy the thrill of the hunt when it comes to sports fishing. Private jets have ample opportunity to land in area airports including San Pedro Airport, Philip SW Goldson International Airport, Placencia Airport, and Punta Gorda Airport.

People interested in trophy fishing, in particular, are sure to love the fishing opportunities in Belize for tarpon, bonefish, and permit. Fishing is good year-round but midsummer to late fall represents the best opportunity for large tarpon.
