My boyfriend is graduating from college on May 3rd, and on May 6th we will be going to St. John for two weeks. I would like to take him on a fishing trip and I was wondering if anyone has any recomendations for me, that could include price ranges. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Erin
Hello Erin,
Here is some info on cost:
Prices start at $90 an hour with a 2 hour minimum, $450 for a ½ day, $650 for ¾ of a day and $650-$850 for a full day. Inshore fishing and flat fishing is available, and is often limited to 2 to 4 passengers depending on the size of the boat. Prices range from $350 for ½ day of inshore fishing and $250 for ½ day of flats/shore fishing.

My next door neighbor is the Mate on the Black Pearl which is a deep sea fishing boat. I'd be happy to send you contact info via e-mail, as I'm not allowed to post it here.
Island Paul,
That would be great if you could send me that information. I would really appreciate it, Thanks a lot.

I can highly recommend Loren Nickbarg on St John. We used him a bunch of times last year and we have him booked for 5 trips this May. 1/2 days are $400 and full days are $750. I know he won't be available for May 7th because we are already booked with him. His number is 340-779-4281. If you talk to him tell him Sam & Brian sent you! Good luck
hi...what type of fishing do you do with Loren? Deep sea? What size is the boat?
Thanks!
We did in shore and off shore with Loren, we caught Mahi Mahi, rainbow runners, king mackeral. I caught a 50 lb Tarpon off Congo Cay. I also caught a 100 and something pound Reef Shark.
He has a 30 some foot in board center console. GREAT BOAT.
I am leaving Saturday for a 9 day trip, we have several fishing trips booked.
