OFFSHORE GOALS & REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
What Makes an Offshore Trip Different?
Deep sea fishing focuses on offshore grounds and pelagic species. Travel takes part of the charter, so a longer trip gives your captain more flexibility to look for fish and try different areas.
This can suit experienced anglers and adventurous newcomers comfortable with a longer day on the ocean. Tell us your experience level, target species and any important boat requirements.
Offshore range depends on the selected boat and conditions. We confirm the proposed charter before you reserve; no particular distance or catch is guaranteed.
CHOOSE YOUR TIME ON THE WATER
Give Your Offshore Trip Enough Time.
Discuss how much time you want offshore. Hours and range depend on your selected boat and the day’s conditions.
EXTENDED OFFSHORE OUTING
Three-Quarter Day
An extended trip provides more time than a half-day to travel and fish. Ask whether the available range suits your priorities.
FULL-DAY OFFSHORE OUTING
Full-Day Fishing
A full day offers more time to explore offshore grounds and adjust the plan as fishing conditions change.
PICK YOUR FISHING STYLE
Offshore or Inshore? Find Your Fit.
Match your trip length to your fishing goals, schedule and comfort on the ocean.
Inshore Fishing
Focus on coastal waters, reefs and species such as roosterfish, snapper, grouper and jack crevalle. This can suit a shorter trip or a group trying fishing for the first time.
Staying closer to shore does not guarantee calm water; your captain chooses the route for the day.
COASTAL SPECIES & SHORTER OUTINGS
Offshore Fishing
Spend more time traveling to deeper fishing grounds to target mahi-mahi, yellowfin or skipjack tuna, sailfish, seasonal marlin and wahoo.
A longer charter gives the captain more flexibility to reach fishing grounds. Beginners can also join a suitable guided offshore trip.
