About Your Trip

Get out there and experience the fun of family fishing in The World's Luckiest Fishing Village with Captain Cliff! He's been fishing here for over 35 years, and is an expert when it comes to putting you on the fish.

On this trip, you'll target a variety of classic reef species, including White, Black, and Vermillion Snapper, Almaco Jack, Amberjack, Red Snapper and Triggerfish (in season), and more! You'll also be able to troll for top-tier offshore species such as King Mackerel, Wahoo, and even Sailfish!

These species are a blast to catch, and great to eat as well. Whether you're looking to fill your cooler, catch a personal best, or both, this trip has something for everyone. The captain is also great at teaching novices how to get hooked up for the first time, so there's no experience required on this adventure. You can troll or bottom-fish depending on your preference, and length of the trip. Feel free to stay out on deck watching the rods, or relax in the comfortable cabin until a fish is on!

You'll be enjoying the breeze aboard this 40' Bertram Widebody Classic Sportfish powered by Twin Cummins Turbo Diesels! She has been customized with underwater fins to improve on an already stable ride. For your comfort during your trip, she has been furnished inside the fully air-conditioned salon which includes a bathroom, microwave, DirecTV on the flatscreen television inside, and Sirius Satellite Radio which can be enjoyed inside and out.

She's also customized with a tower, downrigger, outriggers, and a large livewell. For the nighttime hours, she has above-water illumination as well as powerful underwater lights. No expense has been spared with a full array of state-of-the-art electronics, and top-notch fishing tackle!

Your captain will supply everything you need for a great trip, including rods, reels, and tackle. Live bait is also available for a small additional cost. All you need to remember is proper clothing, sun protection, some drinks and snacks, and a cooler for your keepers!

Captain Kyle is very fortunate to have learned from the very best back when he was a deckhand. He learned the meaning of “Old School” from Captain Tommy Klostermann, and who taught him the “book” on fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Over the years he has learned many different ways to approach fishing, from being able to adapt at a moment’s notice to being able to think thoroughly outside of the box and do...

Five of us did the 8 hour trolling and bottom fishing. It was an amazing experience from start to finish and we caught a barrel of fish including vermilion snapper, triggerfish, grouper and an Atlantic bluefish. We caught and released several out of season fish as well. Captian Kyle and Mate Danny are super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and made the trip an outstanding one. We were all first timers and they...

Highly Recommend!! Great experience for us with Captain and Mate Danny. They got us on fish the whole trip and there was never a time when one of our group wasn’t yelling fish on and sometimes with multiple fish on. Mate Danny was a legit machine preparing the rugs, removing fish and baiting hooks. Our fishing group of 3 was able to have a great Fish Taco Tuesday with our house group of 16 with all the fillets that they prepared for us. A fantastic experience for my teenage boys and myself. This crew left an everlasting experience with our family. And the fish tacos I prepared were almost as close to legendary as the fishing trip. FISH ON!

Great trip, Kyle and Danny worked full time plus to get us on fish and get those fish into the boat. We limited out on red snapper and caught several other fish as well. Overall a good day of fishing , next time we will make it a longer trip hoping to find the bigger fish by getting out further and finding the more isolated spots holding some biggies.

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, 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.
