About Your Trip

If you're looking for the full offshore experience, Captain Ryan's 10-12 hour trip is hard to beat. One of his personal favorites, this extended adventure gives anglers the time needed to explore a variety of productive offshore grounds, fish multiple techniques, and target a diverse mix of hard-fighting and great-eating species throughout the day.

With a full day on the water, you'll have the opportunity to experience several different styles of offshore fishing. Depending on
conditions and where the fish are holding, the day may include bottom fishing over productive structure, trolling to cover water and search for active fish, and deep dropping in deeper offshore areas. The extra time allows Captain Ryan to stay flexible and adapt the game plan to what's producing the best action.

A primary focus of the trip is targeting Grouper, Amberjack, and a variety of bottom fish that call the offshore reefs and structure home. Every stop offers the potential for something different, and the longer trip length provides more opportunities to explore productive areas that shorter trips simply can't reach.

You'll spend the day aboard Captain Ryan's offshore-ready Cape Horn, powered by triple 350 Suzuki outboards. Built for performance, range, and comfort, this vessel is fully equipped for serious offshore fishing and provides a stable platform for anglers looking to make the most of a long day at sea. With plenty of room to fish and the capability to cover significant distances efficiently, it's the ideal boat for chasing offshore action.

Whether you're looking to fill the cooler, learn new techniques, or simply experience a full day offshore with friends and family, this trip delivers a well-rounded deep-sea fishing adventure. The combination of multiple fishing styles, quality target species, and extended time on the water makes this one of Captain Ryan's most rewarding offshore trips.

Grab your crew and get ready for an unforgettable day exploring offshore waters with Captain Ryan.

He was patient and answered all of my questions—helping to set realistic expectations for our trip. The boat was awesome and very comfortable. Half of our party got sea sick but Captain Joe was very helpful with tips on how to feel better. We caught lots of fish and the kids had a blast reeling all the snapper in! We don’t think there could have been a better trip to book! Just take motion sickness medicine the night before and don’t take a chance on having your trip ruined or cut short!!
