THE TARGETS

Trophy pelagics on the menu

The offshore program focuses on larger open-water species: Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi and Marlin, with extended trips offered specifically to target Swordfish.

THE CAPTAIN

Data-driven local expertise

Captain Alberto applies techniques and patterns gathered from worldwide fishing (Florida Keys, Panama, Australia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Dominican Republic) and records water temperature, moon phase, chlorophyll, tide changes and migrations to increase the odds of being in the right place at the right time.

THE BOAT & GEAR

Tackle ready and fish-ready services included

Trips run on a 26' center console (the operator lists capacity and age minimums) and include rods, reels and tackle, live bait, lures, catch cleaning and filleting, a case of water onboard, and fishing licenses as part of the trip price.

What the day feels like

What eight hours offshore feels like

The day is a deliberate rhythm: a 10–22 mile run offshore to seamounts that rise from abyssal depths (roughly 5,000 feet up to about 200 feet), locating bait at the peaks and then settling into long periods of waiting punctuated by sudden, violent strikes from large pelagics—an experience calibrated for anglers who prize trophies over nonstop action.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trip suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Hardcore anglersIdeal: offshore trips are described as for anglers prepared to wait for trophy bites and pursue larger pelagics such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin and Marlin.
2
Families with older kidsChild-friendly in practice but geared toward older children—the operator lists an age minimum of 10+. Parents should note this is a long offshore day.
3
Novice anglersNot the top choice: inshore trips are recommended for novices because they tend to offer more frequent action; offshore fishing involves longer waits and more sea time.
4
Small groups / private chartersBest for small groups: the trip is limited in party size (the operator lists a maximum of 3 people for this trip while also noting the boat accommodates up to 4 guests), so it’s inherently a small-group experience.
