Our Services

We offer a variety of deep-sea fishing charters to suit your preferences and experience level. Our 12-hour trips venture offshore to depths of 95-115 feet, where you'll encounter a diverse array of species. These thrilling expeditions target prized red snapper, vermilion snapper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, and the mighty red grouper. The waters at these depths also offer the opportunity to encounter schooling mahi-mahi, making for exciting battles and picture-perfect moments.

During our 6-hour trips, we focus on shallower waters, between 50 and 65 feet, known for their abundance of gag grouper and kingfish. If you're looking for a unique fishing experience, consider our flats fishing expeditions.
