About Your Trip

Spend time offshore targeting reef species with a trip designed to fish deeper water and multiple productive spots. These trips focus on bottom fishing while giving you the flexibility to adjust based on conditions.

The Experience

With more time on the water, you’ll be able to move between reefs and structure, dial in your approach, and stay on active fish. The 6-hour trip offers a strong balance of fishing time and range, while the 8-hour trip allows you to push farther and fish less pressured areas.

Expect to target species like snapper, grouper, and amberjack, with the option to mix in trolling depending on the bite.

The Boat & Setup

You’ll be aboard a 36’ offshore-ready cruiser built for comfort and performance, equipped with quality gear, electronics, and a full fishing setup.

All rods, reels, bait, tackle, and licenses are included, and your first mate will help keep everything running smoothly.

Good to Know

Snacks and drinks are welcome onboard (alcohol in moderation, no glass). Fish cleaning and filleting are included at the end of the trip.

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.

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.
