About Your Trip

If you're looking for the ultimate deep sea adventure in the Gulf of Mexico, this overnight trip with Captain Ron is as epic as it gets. Climb aboard his 48’ sportfishing beast and get ready to chase some of the biggest, baddest fish Florida has to offer—all under the stars and far offshore where the real monsters roam.

This 12-hour overnight run out of Tierra Verde is tailor-made for serious anglers who want to go
big. You’ll be heading deep into federal waters to target high-profile species like Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Marlin, and Kingfish—plus the heavy-hitters on the reef and bottom like Red Snapper, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, and even the mighty Goliath Grouper. Depending on conditions and season, you might also hook into Flounder, Hogfish, Lane Snapper, Cobia, or even a Florida Pompano. This is no sightseeing cruise—it’s rod-bending, reel-screaming, fish-slinging action from start to finish.

Captain Ron runs a top-of-the-line 48’ Super Sport Pro Tournament Series sportfisher that’s dialed in for overnight Gulf trips. Outfitted with twin high-performance diesel engines (1,750 horsepower total), the boat is both powerful and comfortable, offering air-conditioned interior spaces, a proper onboard restroom, shaded seating, Spot-Lock positioning, GPS, fishfinders, outriggers, and a YETI ice box to keep your drinks and catch chilled. Whether you're trolling weed lines, deep dropping over wrecks, or working live bait near rigs, this vessel is built for battle and comfort.

The trip includes all the essentials: high-quality rods, reels, heavy-duty tackle, live bait, and a full range of fishing techniques—bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, drift fishing, deep dropping, and more. You can even bring your own playlist to bump tunes on the boat’s Bluetooth-enabled multimedia system. Glass bottles are the only thing not allowed—cold beers and good vibes are definitely encouraged.

Captain Ron will clean and fillet your catch back at the dock, so you can take home the freshest seafood possible after a full day and night of fishing. With flexible departure times and a federally permitted vessel, you’ll get access to deep Gulf hotspots few others can reach.

So if you’re ready for an unforgettable Florida Gulf experience and want to cross off some true trophy species, this overnight trip with Captain Ron is your ticket to go big!

The fish hawk was an outstanding charter and Captain Brian and mate were very professional and worked hard to fill the fish box. As soon as the bite slowed on a spot, we packed up and headed to another spot. We caught fish all day long. We had 6 people fishing on the boat and I know that takes a lot of effort from the crew and they both helped all day...
