About Your Trip

Offshore Runs. Big Game. Bigger Memories.
Step aboard our federally permitted offshore sportfishing vessel, custom-built for serious anglers and unforgettable days on the Gulf. We run trips 15 to 90 miles out, targeting the heavy hitters—swordfish, tuna, king mackerel, deep drop species, cobia, snapper, and more.

With room for up to 6 guests, this is a true sportfishing experience—not a cattle boat. You'll fish with an experienced captain who brings thousands of private numbers and
years of local knowledge to every trip. Whether you're dropping for swordfish in deep blue water, chasing schools of tuna offshore, or working natural bottom for grouper and snapper, we go where the bite is hottest.

From trolling the edges to dropping baits 1000 feet deep, this trip is built for anglers who want it all—big fish, long runs, and serious action.

Bring your A-game. We’ll bring everything else.

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.
