Welcome to Billfish International
Trip to Australia: Years of saving, hours of planning. Round trip ticket for two: $5,000. Mothership and gameboat charter for seven days: $12,000. Releasing two granders that week: UNFORGETTABLE!!!
You can't talk about the ones you let go, until YOU get away! YOU can get away! A bait is just a vehicle for a hook. Let Billfish International be your information source to use some.
We do not claim to be a travel or booking agency. Those resources are listed within these pages. If anything, this site will be mutually beneficial for the angler and the charter operation by eliminating the 15%-20% commission charged by many agencies. All this, to put you, the angler, in contact with the charter operator actually providing the service you desire.
Billfish International was created by and is maintained by fishermen for fellow fishermen while keeping the traveling angler in mind.
We are not the first to list charter boats on the internet. What makes us different is our dedication to listing charter operators who devote their time and effort pursuing offshore gamefish species, mostly billfish.
Many of the captains and boats listed in these pages are familiar, others are only known locally or in their region. But they all have the same thing in common: an uncontrollable desire to catch fish. Let them help you accomplish your goal - you or your child's first fish, a billfish on fly, or completing the ultimate; the Royal Slam.
Billfish International is in its infancy. Our goal is to have extensive coverage worldwide. If there is a place, captain, or charter operation not listed on this site you think we should know about, please contact Billfish International.

YACHTING MAGAZINE -- APRIL, 2002
JARRETT BAY 38 EXPRESS SPORTFISHERMAN -- A SMALL BUT SERIOUS RIDE FROM A FINE CUSTOM BUILDER by Jay Coyle
--"Jarrett Bay Boatworks is striving to offer serious fishermen a serious ride with the new 38' Express Sportfisherman. Our test boat -- one of the finest sea boats I have run in the class -- was nimble and quick through the calm waters of North Carolina's Bogue Sound and in a sloppy, 4 foot sea in Beaufort Inlet. Her running surface sports clean lines, and her lightweight structure and balance deliver a superior ride. The Jarrett Bay 38 also stands out in quality and technique.
