Capt. Bubba Carter will return to the blue marlin rich waters of the North Drop off St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands this summer at the helm of the 54-foot custom Carolina sportfisherman, Tijereta. Long known as one of the hottest fishing destinations anywhere on the planet for blue marlin, St. Thomas offers great amenities back ashore in addition to a relatively short run to the fishing grounds, meaning more time with the lines in the water each day. During the height of the season, it's not uncommon for boats to release three to five blues or more in a day of fishing. Capt. Bubba is intimately familiar with these waters, having racked up one of the most enviable catch and release records of any charter captain fishing here. Few can match his skills on the water.

The Tijereta is fully rigged to offer her occupants the safest and smoothest ride on the water in most any sea condition. Top notch tackle including Shimano reels and custom rods, plus the latest in electronics and a fully air-conditioned salon, make the Tijereta one of the finest charter operations in the sportfishing world today.

 The Tijereta is available for charter from June 26 through July 20, 2010. The boat will be based in Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina. When not fishing, guests can enjoy the half-mile white sand beach in front of the resort or revel in the amenities including the large freshwater pool, on-site restaurants and beachfront bars. Swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, jet-skiing, scuba diving and other watersports are available right at the resort. There are also a wide range of other accommodations just a short distance from the marina as well.
