Fishing

Port Antonio makes deep-sea-fishing headlines with its annual International Marlin Tournament in fall, and Mo'Bay and Ocho Rios have devotees who exchange tales (tall and otherwise) about sailfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dolphinfish, and bonito. Licenses aren't required, and you can arrange to charter a boat at your hotel. A chartered boat (with captain, crew, and equipment) costs $500–$900 for a half day or $900–$1,500 for a full-day excursion, depending on the size of the boat.
