About Your Trip

Get ready to head offshore from Bradenton Beach, FL for a private deep sea fishing adventure designed around your schedule and your fishing goals. These 4, 6, and 8-hour trips are fully customizable and perfect for anglers of all experience levels—whether you're looking for a quick getaway with the family or an all-day hunt for big Gulf species.

Your trip begins aboard a well-equipped offshore vessel, ideal for groups of up to 6 guests. With a USCG-licensed captain at the helm and all gear, bait, and fishing licenses included, all you need to bring is your food, drinks, sun protection, and a sense of adventure.

Fishing the Gulf of Mexico from Bradenton Beach offers access to some of the richest waters on Florida’s west coast. Depending on the trip length and the time of year, you'll have the opportunity to target a wide variety of species using bottom fishing and other tried-and-true techniques.

4-Hour Trip: This quick but productive outing is a great way to get started offshore. You’ll target tasty bottom species like Lane Snapper, Key West Grunts, Porgy, and other Snapper varieties. It's a perfect option for families or anyone looking to bring home dinner without spending all day on the water.

6-Hour Trip: Stepping it up, the 6-hour trip allows more time to reach deeper spots and target popular Gulf staples like Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and other reef-dwelling fish. This trip strikes a great balance between action, variety, and fishing time.

8-Hour Trip: For anglers looking to go big, the full-day trip opens the door to some of the Gulf's most exciting and challenging species. Depending on the season, you’ll target Red Snapper, Red Grouper, Amberjack, Kingfish, Cobia, Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Sharks. With more time on the water, you’ll cover more ground and increase your chances of landing a true Gulf trophy.

Every trip includes rods, reels, tackle, lures, live bait, bottled water, an ice-filled cooler for your food and drinks, and fish cleaning and filleting at the end of the day.

Whether you're in it for the action, the food, or the experience, these offshore trips out of Bradenton Beach deliver a world-class fishing adventure just minutes from shore. Book your 4, 6, or 8-hour trip today and discover why the Gulf Coast is a top destination for deep sea fishing.
