Captain Darrin Isaacs has over 30 years of worldwide sport fishing experience. Darrin and the IYS team have the experience to consult on everything from what boat to buy to rigging tips to trip planning. IYS can come aboard with our hand-picked crew and operate your boat for a custom crewed charter or tournament adventure just about anywhere in the world.
If you would like to fish South Florida, Bahamas, Yucatan, Cuba, Turks and Caicos, USVI, BVI, Dominican Republic, Panama or Costa Rica on your own boat, we can help.
Check out these billfish bites from around the world. We had a great time capturing this footage. Enjoy!
We've listed some suggested tournaments below. If you want to participate in a tournament, we are not limited to the ones listed. Fishing tournaments around the world was a big part of Darrin's career for 30 years. "I'm not saying I know every fishery, but I can put together a team of hired guns who are also very nice people to compete in just about any place in the world". -Capt. Darrin Isaacs
