About Your Trip

Let’s go where the big boys play. This 12-hour offshore trolling trip with Captain Frank is built for anglers who want to go the distance and chase the fastest, hardest-fighting fish in the Atlantic. Departing from the Kiawah and Seabrook Islands area, you'll head deep offshore in search of pelagic species like Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi (seasonal), King Mackerel, and Sailfish.

You’ll be fishing aboard a fully restored 31’ Pursuit cuddy cabin, powered by twin 300HP Yamahas. This comfortable and capable vessel is outfitted with Garmin radar, GPS, fishfinder, outriggers, autopilot, and a live bait well. The cabin offers air conditioning, a refrigerator, and an enclosed toilet—making it ideal for full-day runs offshore. With room for up to 6 anglers, there's plenty of space for a serious fishing crew or a group looking for a bucket list experience.

On this trip, you'll spend the day trolling deep blue waters, covering ground with a spread of lures and bait to entice bites from fast-moving predators. If the pelagic bite slows down, Captain Frank is always happy to check in with the group and switch things up—bottom fishing is a solid backup plan and a great way to keep the rods bent.

Included in your charter:

- Rods, reels, tackle, and lures
- Live bait if targeting species like Cobia
- Catch cleaning and filleting at the dock
- Fishing licenses for all anglers
- Ice and cooler space onboard

The first mate is there to assist throughout the trip—it’s customary to tip 20% for their hard work.

Just bring along your sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, food, drinks, and anything else you need for the day. Alcohol is welcome in moderation, but please leave glass bottles and hard liquor at home.

With no extra fuel charges and everything you need included, this offshore trolling trip is a hassle-free way to chase big game and make lasting memories. When you’re ready to go long and fish hard, Captain Frank is ready to take you there.
