About Your Trip

Step aboard a fully equipped 60’ Sportfisher for an exciting 7-hour deep-sea and nearshore fishing adventure off the coast of Key Biscayne. With Captain Nelson, a U.S. Navy veteran and seasoned angler with over 30 years of experience, you’ll have the chance to target some of the most sought-after game fish in South Florida’s waters. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying offshore fishing for the first time, this trip offers a thrilling day on the water.

The federally permitted vessel is built for both comfort and performance, featuring air conditioning, a restroom, and a spacious deck for up to six guests. Outfitted with top-tier fishing gear, advanced electronics, and a live bait well, the boat is set up for a variety of fishing techniques. Guests are welcome to bring their favorite drinks (no glass bottles) and connect their Bluetooth music to set the perfect atmosphere while cruising offshore.

With Key Biscayne’s diverse fishery, there’s always something biting. Depending on the season and conditions, you may have the chance to reel in Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Kingfish, Bonito, False Albacore, Cobia, and Sailfish, as well as the possibility of battling Bull Sharks, Dusky Sharks, Lemon Sharks, and Sandbar Sharks. Captain Nelson and his crew will guide you through a mix of fishing techniques, including trolling, bottom fishing, kite fishing, deep dropping, and live bait fishing, to maximize your time on the water.

The crew is happy to assist with everything from baiting hooks to handling gear, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. If you land a keeper, they can also clean and fillet your catch back at the dock. Be sure to bring food, drinks, sun protection, and a camera to capture the action.

With a well-equipped boat, experienced guidance, and access to some of South Florida’s most productive fishing grounds, this 3/4-day trip is a great way to get offshore and experience the thrill of deep-sea fishing. Spots can fill quickly, so book today and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water.

Captain Nelson and his team were extraordinary. They were incredibly hospitable and ensured we had a great afternoon. We spoke on the phone prior to our charter day and Captain Nelson made sure we were coordinated and knew what to bring, expect, etc. We caught a world class sailfish and several grouper.
