First mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10-20% tip is customary.

There is no need for a fishing license purchase, all you have to bring is some sunscreen and sunglasses if needed. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in cans and moderate usage(no glass please) as well as light snacks on board for you!

Now and then fish may get away but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen!

Our primary focus will be bottom fishing for species such as grouper, snapper, triggerfish, and more, with occasional trolling for Spanish mackerel and other gamefish.

You’ll be fishing aboard our 27’ Sea Hunt Gamefish, a comfortable and well-equipped vessel featuring a toilet cabin for your convenience. On
some trips, a mate will be on board to assist and enhance your experience. We provide complimentary snacks and drinks, but you’re welcome to bring your own favorites as well.

If you have a preferred fishing technique, please let the captain know in advance. We’ll do our best to tailor the trip to your preferences and ensure a smooth, enjoyable outing.

We believe great fishing is made even better with good company and laughter—so be prepared for plenty of smiles and sore cheeks from all the fun!

Hunter and his mate/brother Josh were great hosts to us and had us taken care of right. They were prepared and knowledgeable and kept us on fish. Even with some bad weather toward the end of the trip we were able to stick it out and put a couple of big King Mackerel in the boat before the storm hit. Highly recommend these guys!
