• Since the early 1980s some 20 world records—many for blue marlin—have been set in these waters. Sailfish, skipjack, bonito, tuna (allison, blackfin, and yellowfin), and wahoo are abundant. A charter runs about $500 for a half day (for up to six people), with most boats going out for four-, six-, or eight-hour trips. Caribbean Sea Adventures  (59 Kings Wharf, Christiansted, 00820. PHONE: 340/773-2628. www.caribbeanseaadventures.com) will take you out on a 38-foot powerboat.

  Gone Ketchin'  (Salt River Marina, Rte. 801, Salt River, 00820. PHONE: 340/713-1175. www.goneketchin.com), arranges trips with old salt Captain Grizz.
