About Your Trip

On this trip with Captain Sal, you'll spend a 6 hour day hunting down Sailfish and trying your hand at fighting these impressive fish. The beauty and adrenaline rush of landing a Sailfish is just an awesome experience, and landing a "Sail" is a lifetime accomplishment for any offshore angler. Captain Sal is the man to help you do it!

Captain Sal has years of experience chasing fish out here, so let him be your guide. He's full of helpful advice, and has tips to help you improve your bait presentation, hook set, and fish-fighting skills. When fighting Swordfish, an experienced captain is essential, because it's very difficult to read the sudden rises and dives without some prior know-how.

On this adventure, you'll be aboard a beautiful 38' custom Jarrett Bay sportfisher, a purpose-built fishing vessel that matches speed with comfort. With twin 350-HP Mercury outboards on the back, and a full cabin, you'll be cool and comfortable as you get out to the fishing grounds. Get out there and have a blast!

About Your Guide

Sal G.

Outfitter

The seed for Captain Sal's fishing obsession was planted at a very young age. Catching Sunnys in his local pond in New Jersey as an ankle biter, lead him to fish all over the Atlantic coast. He has fished hard in the inshore and offshore waters of New Jersey, North Carolina, and now full-time in Islamorada "The Sport Fishing Capital of the World!" His specialty is offshore but he runs multiple boats and is game...
