About Your Trip

Here’s what a day on the water with Ray and his team looks like: serious fishing, big water, and a boat built to get you where the fish live.

Depending on the time of year, these waters are home to Amberjack, Cobia, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gag Grouper, Flounder, Pompano, Gray Triggerfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and more. Whether you’re trolling blue water for pelagics or dropping down on reefs and wrecks for hard-fighting bottom fish, you’ll be fishing the right way for the species in season. Light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and even fly fishing are all on the table (bring your own fly gear if that’s your plan).

You’ll be fishing aboard a 32’ Contender performance center console built for offshore work, comfortably accommodating up to 6 anglers. Outfitted with GPS, fishfinder, radar, a live bait well, wireless trolling motor, multimedia system, marine toilet, and plenty of ice storage, this boat has everything needed for a safe and productive day offshore.

A First Mate will be onboard to keep lines baited, fish coming over the rail, and the day running smoothly. Tipping 10–20% is customary and always appreciated for their hard work.

Trip Options:

4-Hour Bottom Fishing (up to 20 miles offshore)

- Gag Grouper, Amberjack, Cobia
- King Mackerel, Wahoo, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Triggerfish

12-Hour Deep Drop (60–90 miles offshore, 400–1500 ft)

What to Bring

Sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and bottled water. Child-sized life vests may be available, but it’s best to ask ahead or bring your own if needed.

All legal fish you catch are yours to keep within size and bag limits. Some species have seasonal regulations, and the crew will make sure you’re fishing within the rules.

From inshore and nearshore waters to reefs, wrecks, and deep offshore structure, Ray and his team offer trips for anglers of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re looking to fill the cooler, chase a trophy, or give the kids their first taste of offshore fishing, this crew is ready to make it happen.

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.
