About Your Trip

Head offshore with Captains Ryan and Chris for an action-packed Mahi Mahi fishing adventure out of Port Canaveral! If you’re looking for fast-paced fishing, stunning colors, and hard-fighting fish, this trip is for you. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to offshore fishing, the thrill of hooking into a high-flying Mahi is something you won’t forget!

Port Canaveral is a prime launching point for chasing Mahi Mahi (also known as Dorado or Dolphin fish). These powerful fish thrive in the deep blue waters offshore, especially near weed lines, floating debris, and current rips. The most effective way to target them is by trolling lures and natural bait, but when a school is fired up, get ready for some incredible sight casting action!

You’ll be fishing aboard a custom 33’ Stuart Angler Sportfish, a fast, comfortable offshore machine. As one of the fastest six-passenger charter boats in Port Canaveral, you’ll spend more time fishing and less time riding. The boat features a fully enclosed pilothouse, a spacious cabin with a private restroom, a large cooler for drinks, and a fish box to store your catch. Powered by twin 315 HP Yanmar turbo diesels, she cruises at 25 mph, ensuring a smooth and efficient trip to the fishing grounds.

Everything you need is included—top-tier rods, reels, bait, tackle, ice, and fishing licenses—so all you have to bring is sunscreen, a hat, food, drinks, and a cooler to take home your fresh Mahi fillets. If they’re in season, you can keep your catch, and the crew will clean it for you at no extra charge!

This trip is fully customizable and family-friendly for anglers ages 8 and up. Mahi fishing is an exciting experience for anglers of all skill levels, with rapid-fire bites and spectacular jumps making every hookup a thrill. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler, chase a trophy fish, or simply enjoy a fun day on the water, Captains Ryan and Chris will make sure you have an unforgettable trip.

Book your Mahi fishing adventure today and get ready for an epic day offshore!
