About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Dustin and explore the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys! The nearshore waters around Key Largo are a great spot to catch some of the sought-after fish that Florida is known for without going too far from the dock. Venturing a little farther to the offshore waters can reward you with some prized big game fish. On this trip you'll get a little of both!

On this 6-hour trip, Captain Dustin will take you to the nearshore and offshore waters of Key Largo where you can expect to target a selection of fish including Blackfin Tuna, Cobia, Gag Grouper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Spanish Mackerel, and Wahoo. You'll be using a variety of techniques such as heavy tackle, live bait, artificial lures, bottom fishing and trolling. Just let Captain Dustin know what you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best method to get one on your line!

You'll be fishing aboard a luxurious 38’ Outer Banks sportfisher with a capacity for 6 people. Powered by twin 500 HP Cummins engines, she'll get you where the fish are biting in a hurry! This do-it-all vessel comes with all the necessities including GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, Outriggers, a Flybridge, and an Ice Box to store your catches. It also boasts comfortable amenities such as Air Conditioning, a Multimedia System, a bathroom and even a bed. You are welcome to take home any keepers, and Captain Dustin will clean them for you at the dock.

Everything will be provided by the crew from rods, reels, and licenses, to cooler space, ice, and waters, so all you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, weather appropriate gear, and a camera to document your catch! Captain Dustin and Crew will take care of everything else if you'd like. Whether you'd like to sit back and wait for the reel to start screaming, or if you want a rod in your hand the whole time, Captain Dustin is there to make sure you catch a pile of fish whatever way suits you best!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
