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.
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.
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.
