About Your Trip

Join Captain Michael and embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure! No matter if it’s your first time out on the water or if you’re a seasoned professional, Captain Michael will lead the way.

On this 4, 6, or 8-hour adventure, you’ll be fishing aboard Captain Michael’s 30-foot Black Watch saltwater fisher powered by twin 225 HP Cummins engines. She can accommodate 6 anglers, so make sure you bring some good company! Feel free to bring your children as well, although they must be at least 8 years old.

Captain Michael will provide all equipment, including custom-built rods, Penn reels, tackle, lures, and licenses. You will fish for live bait at the beginning of the trip if the weather permits. If the weather is not suitable to fish for live bait, the price of bait is included in the trip price. A first mate will also be on board to help you at all times. At the end of the trip, the crew will clean and fillet your fish at no extra charge.

Get ready for a monster day on the water with Captain Michael!

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.

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, bait, 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.
