About Your Trip

Get ready for an incredible offshore adventure with Captain Ben as you explore the waters surrounding the barrier islands, 10-12 miles off the coast! This trip is perfect for anglers looking to battle hard-fighting fish while using a variety of tactics to maximize the action. Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll be trolling, bottom fishing, drift fishing, jigging, or live baiting to target an exciting lineup of species, including Cobia, King Mackerel, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Bull Sharks, Tripletail, and more.

Your trip takes place aboard a 38’ Henriques Sportfish, a powerhouse vessel built for both comfort and performance. Equipped with twin 370 HP Cummins engines, this boat gets you to the fishing grounds quickly and smoothly. The large back deck provides plenty of space to reel in big fish, while the enclosed air-conditioned cabin offers a comfortable retreat from the sun. Other top-tier amenities include a private restroom, a flybridge for stunning views, a fighting chair, outriggers, and advanced fish-finding technology, including downscan and sidescan sonar, ensuring you stay on the bite.

Throughout the trip, Captain Ben and his professional first mate will be by your side, helping you hook into your next big catch. Whether you’re chasing fast-moving King Mackerel on the troll, dropping bait over a wreck for Sheepshead, or battling a powerful Bull Shark, this trip delivers action from start to finish.

All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait (when available and necessary) are included, along with fishing licenses for everyone on board. The first mate will also clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip—just remember that a 20% gratuity is customary for their hard work.

If you’re looking for an offshore fishing experience that blends excitement with top-notch hospitality, this is the trip for you. Book today and let Captain Ben show you why the waters off our barrier islands are home to some of the best fishing around!

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.

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.
