Offshore Action Shots
6-Hour Private Offshore Adventure
Ready to hit the open water for some serious fishing action? Our 3/4 day private trip is the perfect sweet spot between a quick outing and a full day on the water. We'll cruise out on our 39-foot custom sportfishing boat, giving you and your crew (up to 4 anglers) plenty of elbow room to cast, reel, and land some impressive catches. From 8 AM to 2 PM, we'll be targeting everything from lightning-fast Wahoo to hard-fighting Amberjack. Whether you're an seasoned angler or just getting your sea legs, this trip's got something for everyone.
What to Expect on the Water
Once we shove off at 8 AM, we'll make a beeline for the offshore hotspots. The beauty of a private charter is we can switch up our strategy on the fly. Feel like trying your luck with some deep-dropping? Or maybe you want to try your hand at kite fishing for Sailfish? We've got you covered. Our seasoned captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a day of non-stop action. We provide all the gear you need - from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Heck, we even sort out your fishing license for the day. All you need to do is show up ready to fish.
Techniques That Hook the Big Ones
We don't just toss a line over the side and hope for the best. On this trip, you'll get to try out a variety of fishing techniques that the pros use. We'll likely start with some trolling, dragging lines behind the boat to entice speedy predators like Wahoo and Mahi Mahi. If conditions are right, we might break out the kites - a method that's pure magic for hooking into acrobatic Sailfish. And for those who like a more hands-on approach, we can do some jigging over wrecks and reefs. It's a great way to target bottom-dwellers like Vermilion Snapper and Amberjack. Whatever your skill level, our crew will be right there to show you the ropes and help you land that trophy fish.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Atlantic Sailfish: These acrobatic beauties are the stars of the show in our waters. Known for their incredible aerial displays when hooked, Sailfish can reach speeds of up to 68 mph, making them one of the fastest fish in the ocean. They're most abundant in our area from late fall through early spring. Landing a Sailfish is a bucket-list experience for many anglers, and the photo ops are unbeatable.
King Mackerel: Also known as Kingfish, these speedsters are a blast to catch. They're known for their blistering runs and can grow to over 5 feet long. Kings are typically more abundant in the warmer months, but we can find them year-round. They're not just fun to catch - they're also great eating if you're into some fresh-caught sushi.
Mahi Mahi: Also called Dorado or Dolphinfish, Mahi are some of the most beautiful fish in the sea. Their electric blue and gold colors are a sight to behold. They're also known for their acrobatics and their delicious, mild-flavored meat. Mahi can be caught year-round in our waters, but they're especially plentiful in the summer months. They often travel in schools, so when we find them, the action can be non-stop.
Snowy Grouper: These deep-water dwellers are a real treat to catch. They live in waters from 500 to 1,000 feet deep, so landing one is always an accomplishment. Snowies can grow to over 60 pounds and put up a stubborn fight all the way to the boat. Their white, flaky meat is considered a delicacy. While we can catch them year-round, winter tends to be the peak season.
Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, Barracuda are the perfect target for anglers looking for an adrenaline rush. These predators can grow up to 6 feet long and are known for their aggressive behavior. They're fun to catch on both live bait and artificial lures. While they're not typically kept for eating, they provide an exciting catch-and-release experience.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Our 6-hour trip hits the sweet spot for many fishing enthusiasts. It's long enough to reach some prime offshore spots, but doesn't eat up your entire day. Plus, with the private charter, you've got the flexibility to fish how you want. Maybe you're dead-set on landing a Sailfish, or perhaps you just want to fill the cooler with some tasty Mahi. Either way, we'll tailor the trip to your preferences. And let's not forget the boat - our 39-footer is decked out with all the latest fish-finding tech and plenty of space to move around. It's the kind of setup that'll spoil you for other fishing trips.
Time to Book Your Spot
If you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some serious gamefish, this 6-hour private charter is calling your name. We've got the knowledge, the gear, and the hotspots - all you need to bring is your game face and maybe a couple of sandwiches. And with our free cancellation policy (as long as you give us 30 days' notice), there's no reason not to lock in your date now. The fish are out there waiting, folks. Let's go catch 'em!
Learn more about the species
Atlantic Sailfish
Atlantic Sailfish are the sprinters of the ocean, reaching speeds up to 68 mph. These beauties average 6-8 feet long and 120-180 pounds. You'll find them in warm, tropical waters, often near the surface down to about 30-65 feet. They're famous for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked, leaping and tail-walking across the water. Best fishing is typically in winter months near coastal drop-offs and current edges. Anglers love 'em for their acrobatic fights and striking appearance with that iconic sail-like dorsal fin. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling live bait like ballyhoo or flying fish. Keep your drag set light at first - these guys will make blistering runs right after the strike. Once you hook up, be ready for an arm-burning battle as they dive deep, then rocket to the surface.
Great Barracuda
Great Barracuda are the toothy terrors of tropical waters. These sleek predators can stretch 5-6 feet and hit 30+ pounds. You'll find them lurking around reefs, wrecks, and drop-offs in depths from near-surface to about 100 feet. They're ambush hunters with lightning-fast strikes. Cudas are around year-round but seem most active in warmer months. Anglers love 'em for their explosive hits and powerful runs. They're not great eating, so most folks practice catch-and-release. To target them, try trolling or casting tube lures, spoons, or live bait like blue runners. Here's a tip: use wire leaders - those razor-sharp teeth will slice through mono like butter. When you hook up, be ready for screaming runs and maybe even some aerial acrobatics. Just watch those teeth at boatside - a landing net is your friend with these toothy critters!
King Mackerel
King Mackerel, or Kingfish, are sleek predators that'll test your gear and skills. These torpedo-shaped fish average 20-40 pounds but can top 100. Look for them in coastal waters 30-150 feet deep, often near reefs, wrecks, and bait schools. They're speed demons, hitting 35 mph in short bursts. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they migrate along the coast. Anglers love Kings for their smoking runs and aerial acrobatics when hooked. Their firm, slightly oily meat makes great steaks too. To target them, try slow-trolling live bait like blue runners or menhaden. Here's a local trick: use a stinger rig with two hooks. Kings often short-strike baits, so that trailing hook ups your hookup ratio. Once you're on, hang on tight - these fish can peel off 100 yards of line in seconds!
Mahi Mahi or Common Dolphinfish
Mahi Mahi are the acrobats of the open ocean. These colorful fighters average 15-30 pounds but can hit 50+. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, often around floating debris or weed lines. They're fast growers and voracious feeders, which makes for great action. Peak season is usually late spring through early fall. Anglers love Mahi for their spectacular aerial displays when hooked and their tasty, mild white meat. They're often found in schools, so when you hook one, keep it in the water to attract others. To target them, troll small lures or live bait near floating structure. Here's a tip: have a pitch bait ready. When you spot a school, cast a live bait or small jig to the edge - the competition in the school often triggers aggressive strikes. Be ready for acrobatic jumps and strong runs once hooked!
Snowy Grouper
Snowy Grouper are deep-water brutes that'll test your arms and gear. These copper-brown fish with white spots average 20-30 pounds but can top 70. You'll find them in rocky areas 300-600 feet deep along the outer continental shelf. They're ambush predators, so look for them near ledges and drop-offs. Peak season is typically May through August. Anglers prize Snowies for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. To target them, you'll need heavy tackle and electric reels - manual cranking from those depths is a workout! Use large baits like whole squid or bonito strips on a chicken rig with a hefty sinker. Here's a local trick: once you find a productive spot, mark it well. Snowies are territorial, so you can often return to the same area for multiple fish. Just be mindful of bag limits - usually one per vessel per day.
