Full Day Tournament Charter | 7AM–5PM | Aboard our 55’ Viking

This is a full day built for anglers who want to fish with purpose. From the first lines in at 7AM to the final push at 5PM, this charter is run like a tournament day where every move counts and every bite matters.

Departing Palm Beach aboard our 55’ Viking designed for serious offshore performance, you will run quickly to the Gulf Stream and fish productive waters known for mahi, sailfish, tuna, and wahoo. The goal is simple. Stay on fish, adapt fast, and put points on the board.

Captain John and a seasoned first mate bring thousands of charters of experience, working the spread with precision and making real time decisions based on conditions, current, and bait. You will fish with top tier Penn and Shimano tackle using a mix of trolling, live baiting, and kite fishing to stay competitive throughout the day.

The pace is steady, focused, and driven. When the bite turns on, you stay in it. When it slows, you adjust and keep hunting.

Between runs, recharge in a climate controlled salon or stay ready in a wide open cockpit built for serious fishing.

If your group wants a high energy day that mirrors the intensity of a tournament, this is your shot.

Bring your crew, fish with intent, and make the day count.

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.
