About Your Trip

Climb aboard with Captain Fox for an unforgettable nearshore trolling adventure! Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip is perfect for anyone looking to reel in some fast-paced action off the coast.

With Captain Fox at the helm, you’ll be in expert hands as you chase down seasonal favorites like Spanish Mackerel, Bonito, and Bluefish. These hard-fighting fish put on a show when they hit the line, making for an exciting day on the water. Depending on the conditions and bite, you’ll be trolling with outriggers and downriggers, covering water to locate the hottest action.

Your trip takes place aboard a spacious 35’ Bertram, built for comfort and performance. With room for up to six passengers, this boat is fully outfitted with top-tier fishing equipment to maximize your chances of success. Plus, there's a private toilet on board for added convenience, making this trip an excellent choice for families.

Captain Fox provides everything you need for a great day on the water, including rods, reels, bait, and the expertise to put you on the fish. His First Mate will be there to assist throughout the trip, so a 20% tip is greatly appreciated for their hard work.

All you need to bring is sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and your favorite drinks (cans only, please—no glass bottles). Kids are more than welcome to join, so bring the whole family along for an exciting day of nearshore trolling!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
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, 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.
