Highlights
Outing Highlights
Mahi‑Mahi, Marlin, Tuna—and More
Expect an assortment of targets depending on whether you fish inshore or head offshore. In the bay you can encounter jacks, dorado (mahi‑mahi), snappers and roosterfish; on deep‑sea trips the roster expands to include blue marlin, sailfish, wahoo and tuna.
Private Charters, Multiple Durations
Charters are private and sold for up to four anglers, with set departures available in 4‑, 8‑, 10‑ and 12‑hour formats—bay trips are offered at a lower duration and price, while specialised deep‑sea outings target larger game on longer runs.
From Protected Bay to Open Ocean
The experience moves from sheltered inshore water where reef and structure species are common to open‑ocean grounds where pelagics roam—choose the mode and duration that matches your goals.
What the day feels like
What the Day Feels Like
A private outing begins with a short meet‑up onshore before a launch to either nearby bay grounds or farther offshore. Shorter, 4‑hour bay trips concentrate on structure and reef species; 8–12‑hour deep‑sea trips allow time to reach and work the pelagic marks where mahi‑mahi, marlin and tuna are hunted.
