FISHING
DEEP-SEA SPORT FISHING - The 36 ft. dual
hull catamaran, "Manta Ray", is Turtle Island's well equipped
and comfortable fishing boat. Trips to fish are scheduled to go
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Fishing trips are usually in
the early morning, last between 4-6 hours and are dependent on weather
conditions. The "Manta Ray" trolls the reefs located
around Turtle Island and neighboring islands. Catches include fish
such as yellow fin tuna, trevally, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, mahi
mahi, barracuda, shark, skipjack tuna, rainbow runner, and the
occasional sailfish..

FLY
FISHING - Miles of unspoiled shoreline, pristine shallow reefs
and an abundant fish population with little fishing pressure combine to
make the Yasawas a perfect fly fisherman's' paradise. Target species
include bonefish, trevally, coral trout and red sea bass. Turtle
Island does not provide instruction for this sport but does arrange day
trips through a local guide on a neighboring island for a charge.
Turtle Island suggests that guests bring their own equipment.
