Head out with Captain Josh for an unforgettable offshore experience down in Marathon Florida. Only a couple miles from the deep ocean shelf, Captain Josh uses your time on the 6 and 8 hour to get offshore in a hurry and troll for Mahi, Sailfish, and other pelagics. Once you've had enough fun trolling for these fun pelagics he can pivot and take you to some offshore reef structures to bottom fish for delicious eating fish like Snapper and Grouper as well!

You'll spend the day aboard his beautiful 38' Fountain Center Console absolute fishing machine! Beyond all the fishing amenities and space to comfortably fight your fish at the stern, the boat also features a bow lounge area where you can relax, rest your arms and catch your breath after a big battle!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
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.
