About Your Trip

Crank up the adrenaline and head offshore with Captain DJ for a high-powered day of deep sea fishing aboard his fully rigged 27’ Contender! With Federal Reef and Pelagic Permits in hand, this trip gives you full access to the Gulf’s most productive waters—and thanks to twin 300hp Yamaha engines and a top speed of 60 mph, you’ll get out to the action fast and fish longer where the big ones live.

Whether you're chasing
screaming drags from smoker Kingfish, dropping baits deep for hard-pulling Grouper, or trolling for Blackfin Tuna and Barracuda, Captain DJ knows where to go and what it takes to get you hooked up. You'll be targeting a wide variety of offshore species, including Amberjack, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp, Permit, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Yellowtail, and American Red Snapper (in season). Sharks and Goliath Grouper are also on the menu for those looking to tangle with something massive!

This offshore adventure departs from the Tampa Bay area and heads straight to the Gulf’s network of wrecks, ledges, and reefs—prime real estate for both reef and pelagic species. Whether you're bottom fishing, live baiting, jigging, or trolling, Captain DJ has the experience and equipment to match the bite and the season.

You’ll be fishing aboard a sleek 30’ Contender 27 Open—built for speed, comfort, and serious offshore capability. With ample deck space, top-tier electronics, and high-end gear on board, this vessel is ideal for up to 6 anglers ready to go all-in on a Gulf adventure.

Captain DJ provides everything you need: all bait, tackle, rods, reels, fishing licenses, ice, bottled water, and even fish cleaning at the end of the trip. Just bring your favorite snacks and drinks (alcohol is welcome), plus sun protection and a great attitude.

If you’re looking for a fast, flexible, and fully loaded offshore experience, this is it. Book your trip today and come see what makes the Gulf of Mexico one of the top offshore fisheries in the country—Captain DJ will get you there in style! Gratuities for exceptional service are always appreciated.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
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.
