About Your Trip

If the thought of hooking, fighting, and landing a Blue Marlin gets your blood up, then this is the trip for you. Captain Adam and his crew have designed this trip to be laser-focused on catching these fast, aggressive, and extremely hard-fighting Atlantic billfish, and they will break out their custom rods and special gear in search of prime Blue Marlin waters. Of course, there's also good odds for Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and other intense pelagic predators on this trip.

If you've never fished the Gulfstream, a unique and challenging underwater environment, then there's no better opportunity. You'll employ a range of techniques and plenty of gear to catch these fish, and when one takes the bait—get ready for the fight of a lifetime! These fish will bring their A-game, so you better be ready.

On the morning of the trip, you'll head out on his 54' Blackwell Custom Carolina, a sportfisher built for speed, performance, and comfort. She's powered by twin 700 HP Caterpillar engines, so wont have to cruise for more than a couple of hours before you reach the prime fishing grounds and start haulin' 'em in. On the way, cross your fingers for a Dorado or Cobia!

Captain Adam will be prepared with everything you need for a blue-ribbon day, including rods, reels, bait, tackle, and most importantly, his years of experience hunting champion pelagic predators. To make the most of your experience on the water, make sure to bring Polarized Sunglasses, Weather-Appropriate Clothing, Hat, and Sunscreen. Get ready to have a blast!

About Your Guide

Independent Guide

Captain Adam knew that he wanted to be a professional charter operator ever since he fought his first Marlin at age thirteen. From that day on, he decided that he wanted to eventually buy his own boat, so that he could share this experience with others. Since then, he's been fishing offshore as a tournament angler, and working as a professional mariner on 400' ships, from the East Coast all the way to the West...

Since then, he's been fishing offshore as a tournament angler, and working as a professional mariner on 400' ships, from the East Coast all the way to the West Coast and further. He now has his 100-ton Captain's License, but still just loves being out on the water, showing people a great time.
