Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Spacious private party fishing boat

The charter runs on a party fishing vessel with capacity designed for large groups, making it an option for corporate outings, bachelor parties, birthdays, and family events, all reserved exclusively for your group.

THE TARGET

Seasonal offshore species

Drift fishing offshore targets a rotating roster of seasonal sport fish—examples include Kingfish, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Snapper, and Grouper—though catch opportunities vary with conditions and season.

THE INCLUSIONS

All gear and crew instruction included

Every trip includes fishing licenses plus bait, tackle, rods and reels, and the crew provides assistance and instruction throughout the outing so groups can focus on fishing and socializing.

What the day feels like

What the four hours feel like

Expect a social, hands‑on day on the water: you board a party fishing boat reserved for your group, the crew outfits you with tackle and bait, then you drift offshore together, chasing seasonal gamefish while crew members coach, handle gear and tend to the catch; the private format also lets you convert the same platform into a sunset cruise or Intracoastal tour if you prefer a relaxed cruise over fishing.
