Highlights
Outing Highlights
A 90-foot Super Cruiser Built for the Grounds
The Gambler is a 90' super cruiser powered by four super‑charged engines, U.S. Coast Guard certified, with heated and air‑conditioned lounge space, a food galley and a large upper sundeck — designed to get anglers to the canyon quickly and keep them comfortable while there.
Tuna-Centric Offshore Action
The Canyon runs target Yellowfin and longfin tuna in the 30–130 lb range and routinely produce mahi mahi, swordfish, bigeye tuna and tilefish — the kind of species mix that defines an offshore canyon tuna trip.
Underwater Lights to Attract Sea Life
The Gambler is the only boat in the fleet with built‑in underwater night lights running from stem to stern, a feature used to attract sea life and enhance night and low‑light fishing opportunities.
What the day feels like
What 24 Hours Aboard Feels Like
You board in the evening and set out on a roughly 24‑hour circle: depart late Sunday night, run offshore through the night to the canyon, fish with the assistance of an experienced crew, rest in available sleeping spaces, and return the following evening. The Gambler’s crew provides instruction, bait and on‑deck assistance, and mates help with fish filleting at trip’s end while the boat keeps passenger numbers deliberately low for room and comfort.
