THE TARGETS

Wreck species first, pelagics on select months

The core objective is wreckfishing for bottom-associated species—Black Seabass, Triggerfish, Tautog and Flounder—while select months open the chance to troll for Mahi-Mahi, King Mackerel and albacore.

THE RANGE

A true nearshore run to offshore wrecks

Trips run well offshore to reach wrecks and structure; operators stage charters that head out of the nearshore and transit to productive offshore grounds.

THE FORMAT

Private and public charters tailored for anglers

Havoc Charters offers both private and public bookings, accommodating groups and individuals who want a full day of wreckfishing with experienced guidance.
