What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard our boat, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise out of Port Canaveral, passing by NASA's launch pads and heading straight for the prime fishing grounds. Our 6-hour trips give you plenty of time to target a variety of species, while full-day charters let us really explore the further reefs and wrecks. We provide all the top-notch gear you'll need, from rods and reels to live bait. Our captains are pros at reading the water and finding where the fish are biting. And don't worry if you're new to offshore fishing – we'll show you the ropes and have you reeling in the big ones in no time.

Offshore Tactics & Hotspots

Out here, we're all about versatility. We'll start by trolling for pelagics – that means dragging lines behind the boat as we cruise along. It's a killer method for hooking into Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, and even Sailfish when they're around. If the surface action is slow, we'll switch it up and drop some lines to the bottom. There are some sweet spots loaded with Snapper and Grouper just waiting to be found. And let me tell you, when you feel that thump on your line and start reeling up a big one from the depths – that's what fishing's all about. We might even break out the live bait if we're targeting those finicky Blackfin Tuna. It's all about adapting to what the ocean gives us on any given day.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Species You'll Want to Hook

Blackfin Tuna: These speedsters are a favorite among our guests. They might be smaller than their Yellowfin cousins, but pound-for-pound, they put up one heck of a fight. Blackfin love to hang around structures and drop-offs, and we often find them busting bait on the surface. Best time to target them is early morning or late afternoon when they're feeding aggressively. When you hook one, get ready for some screaming runs – these guys can really make your reel sing!

Atlantic Sailfish: Now we're talking about the crown jewel of offshore fishing. Sailfish are known for their incredible acrobatics – when they take your bait, be prepared for a show. These beautiful fish can reach lengths of over 7 feet and speeds up to 68 mph. We typically see them in the warmer months, and hooking one is always a possibility when we're trolling. The thrill of watching a sailfish light up, with its massive dorsal fin cutting through the water as it chases your bait, is something you'll never forget.

King Mackerel (Kingfish): These toothy predators are a blast to catch. Kingfish are fast, powerful, and love to hit baits hard. We often find them in schools, which means multiple hookups are possible. They're around most of the year, but peak season is typically fall through spring. When a big King hits your line, hold on tight – they're known for blistering runs that can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds. And let's not forget, they make for some mighty fine eating too!

Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish): If you're looking for a combination of beauty, acrobatics, and great table fare, Mahi Mahi checks all the boxes. These colorful fish are a sight to behold, with their vibrant blues, greens, and yellows. They're often found near floating debris or weed lines, and they love to travel in pairs or small schools. Mahi are famous for their aerial displays once hooked, and they fight hard all the way to the boat. They're most abundant in the warmer months, and trust me, there's nothing quite like fresh Mahi tacos after a day on the water.

Wahoo: Speed demons of the ocean, Wahoo are like the sports cars of the fish world. They're sleek, fast, and when they hit your lure, it's like getting struck by lightning. Wahoo are typically a bit deeper than some of our other target species, so we often troll for them with diving plugs or use live bait. They're around year-round, but we see more of them in the cooler months. Landing a big Wahoo is always a highlight – they can reach speeds over 60 mph and their initial run can make even seasoned anglers weak in the knees. Plus, they're absolutely delicious on the grill.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about the fishing out here, but nothing beats experiencing it for yourself.

Our extended half-day and full-day trips give you the best shot at a diverse catch and some unforgettable moments on the water. Remember, the ocean is always changing, and that's what makes every trip an adventure. So why wait? Grab your friends or family, and let's get out there and make some fishing stories you'll be telling for years to come.

See you on the boat!
