About Your Trip

Hop aboard with Captain Gabriel for a high-energy day of nearshore action targeting some of South Florida’s most exciting gamefish! Whether you’re heading out for 4, 6, or 8 hours, this trip is all about keeping rods bent and coolers filling up—with a game plan that adapts to the bite and the season.

You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Gabriel’s 32’ center console, a sleek and powerful vessel built for serious fishing and passenger comfort. Outfitted with outriggers, radar, GPS, fishfinder, a live bait well, and a wireless trolling motor, this boat is set up to handle everything from kite fishing on the edge for Sailfish to slow trolling over shallow wrecks for hungry Black Grouper. There's even an enclosed toilet onboard—so you can stay comfortable while staying on the fish.

Every trip is guided by the conditions and the captain’s expertise, so you might be chumming the reef for a mess of tasty Yellowtail Snapper one moment, then shifting gears to chase down a school of Mahi Mahi or Blackfin Tuna the next. If the Kingfish are running, expect to see baits go out on the troll, and when the weather lines up, kites go up to tempt Sailfish into explosive surface strikes.

You'll have a skilled First Mate on board to help you get tight, rig baits, gaff fish, and make sure every moment is dialed in. Mates work hard—so a 10–20% tip is the standard way to show your appreciation.

All gear is included, from quality rods and reels to lures and bait. Live bait is customary and often used to target premium species—just check with Captain Gabriel if you'd like more, as additional bait can be added at your own expense. Best of all, your fishing license is covered by the boat, so all you have to do is show up ready to fish.

At the end of your trip, Captain Gabriel and his crew will fillet and bag up your catch—perfect for a fresh seafood dinner after an unforgettable day on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, this nearshore adventure offers the perfect mix of challenge, excitement, and big rewards.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
