If you're looking for a real offshore fishing experience that goes beyond the typical day trip, this 2-day charter with C Suite Charters is exactly what you need. We're talking about a luxury sportfishing safari that takes you from Port Canaveral all the way down to Sebastian, hitting some of the most productive waters along Florida's Atlantic coast. This isn't your average fishing trip - it's a full-blown adventure where you'll sleep dockside at Sebastian Saltwater Marina and Lodge after a day of serious fishing, then wake up ready to hit our secret honey holes for round two.
Your adventure kicks off early from Port Canaveral, one of Florida's top fishing ports. We'll be trolling our way south toward Sebastian, covering prime offshore waters where sailfish, wahoo, tuna, and mahi patrol the deep blue. The boat comes fully loaded with top-shelf tackle and all the amenities you'd expect on a luxury charter. We're not just fishing here - we're hunting. The Gulf Stream runs close to shore in this area, creating perfect conditions for pelagic species that love the current breaks and temperature changes. You'll have meals and snacks covered throughout both days, so all you need to focus on is fighting fish. After the first day's action, we'll dock at Sebastian Saltwater Marina and Lodge where you can get your fresh catch cooked up right there on the spot. Nothing beats eating fish you caught just hours earlier while watching the sunset over the water.
We run a spread of outriggers, downriggers, and flat lines to cover different depths and attract various species. The trolling pattern changes based on conditions, but we typically pull a mix of ballyhoo, artificials, and live bait when we can get it. The boat's rigged with Penn International and Shimano reels paired with quality rods that can handle everything from screaming wahoo runs to stubborn cobia near structure. We'll adjust our spread based on what we're marking on the fish finder and what's been producing lately. Day two gets really interesting when we hit those honey holes - these are deeper spots where we'll drop down for bottom fish using conventional tackle. The captain knows these waters like his backyard, so we're always fishing where the fish are, not just where they're supposed to be. Circle hooks are standard for live bait work, and we carry plenty of tackle in case the big ones decide to take us to school.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of this fishery, especially during the winter months from December through March when they migrate south in huge numbers. These acrobatic fighters average 6-7 feet and put on a show like nothing else - multiple jumps, long runs, and that distinctive sail they flash when they're fired up. The best part about sailfish here is you might hook two or three at once when you hit a school feeding on bait balls.
Wahoo are speed demons that'll test your reflexes and your drag system. These torpedo-shaped predators can hit 60 mph and regularly break the 40-pound mark in these waters. They love the temperature breaks along the Gulf Stream edge, and when one hits your ballyhoo rig, you'll know it instantly. The bite is usually violent, and the first run will melt line off your reel faster than you thought possible.
Mahi Mahi are the crowd pleasers - beautiful, aggressive, and absolutely delicious on the dinner table. They travel in schools and often hang around floating debris or weed lines. Once you hook one, keep the boat positioned right because his buddies are probably still down there. These fish are acrobats too, jumping and tail-walking across the surface while showing off those brilliant yellow and green colors.
Blackfin Tuna are the workhorses of this fishery, available year-round and always ready to eat. They typically run 10-25 pounds and fight way above their weight class. These fish love small baits trolled fast, and they're perfect for keeping the action going between shots at larger species. Plus, blackfin sashimi is hard to beat.
Cobia are the wild cards that can make your trip legendary. These brown sharks (as some people call them) can push 50+ pounds and fight like underwater bulldozers. They're curious fish that often come up to check out the boat, giving you sight-fishing opportunities that'll get your heart racing. Spring and fall are prime time for big cobia, and they're excellent eating too.
This 2-day fishing adventure represents serious value for serious anglers. You're getting two full days on the water with a top-rated charter operation, all meals included, and access to some of the best offshore fishing on the East Coast. The overnight stay at Sebastian adds a unique element you won't find on typical day trips - it's like a fishing camp for adults. With space for up to 6 anglers, this trip is perfect for groups wanting to create lasting memories while chasing world-class gamefish. The captain's local knowledge of honey holes and seasonal patterns means you're fishing with someone who lives and breathes these waters. Don't wait too long to secure your dates - prime fishing seasons book up fast, and this kind of multi-day experience fills up quickly among serious fishing enthusiasts.
Get ready for some serious offshore action aboard The Hatteras, a classic 1987 sport fishing vessel that's been completely rebuilt in 2022. This beauty packs twin 535HP Detroit Diesel engines that'll get you out to the fishing grounds at 18 knots, putting you right where the sailfish, wahoo, tuna, and mahi are biting. Your floating fishing headquarters comes loaded with everything you need for a successful trip - fish finder to locate the schools, GPS and radar for navigation, plus an icebox and fridge to keep your catch fresh and drinks cold. The fully equipped galley means hot meals between fishing sessions, and with AC, a comfortable bed, and clean facilities onboard, you'll stay comfortable during your 2-day adventure. The flybridge gives you perfect visibility for spotting fish and birds working the water. You'll troll down to Sebastian hunting pelagics, then hit the honey holes for bottom fish on day two. With meals included and room for 6 anglers, this Port Canaveral charter puts you on fish while keeping everyone comfortable. Come hungry for some serious fishing action.
Istiophorus AlbicansSailfish are the crown jewel of our offshore fishery, with that massive dorsal sail and sword-like bill making them unmistakable. These acrobatic fighters average 50-70 pounds and 7-8 feet, though we've seen some reach 100+ pounds. They cruise the blue water from 30-200 feet, following bait schools and current edges. Winter months from December through March are prime time here, especially in our famous "Sailfish Alley." What makes them special is their aerial show - they'll jump, tailwalk, and put on a display you'll never forget. The meat's good but most folks release these beauties. Slow-trolling with live bait or rigged ballyhoo works best. My advice: when one comes up on the teaser, stay calm and make a perfect bait presentation - they can be finicky.
Thunnus AtlanticusBlackfin tuna are the smallest of the Atlantic tunas but don't let that fool you - these 10-20 pound dynamos are pure muscle and attitude. They're dark-bodied with distinctive yellow finlets and that classic tuna build for speed. You'll find schools of them in 50-200 feet of water, especially around structure and temperature breaks. Best fishing happens fall through spring when they're most active in our area. Anglers target them for their fierce fights and excellent sashimi-quality meat. They school up with other tunas and can be picky eaters with sharp eyesight. Vertical jigging and chunking work well, but scale down your tackle - use 30-pound fluorocarbon leaders and smaller 5/0 circle hooks. Live pilchards make great chum to bring schools to the boat.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are often called "brown sharks" until you see that flat head and single dorsal fin up close. These bronze bulldogs average around 30-50 pounds but can push 100+ pounds and 6 feet long. They're loners, cruising shallow reefs, wrecks, and structures in 30-70 feet during spring migration and spawning season. Around here, May through September gives you the best shot at them. What guests love about cobia is their stubborn, powerful fight and exceptional table quality - firm, white meat that's restaurant-grade. They're curious fish, so sight fishing works great when you spot one cruising. My go-to technique is pitching a bucktail jig right in front of their nose - doesn't matter what color. Just make sure your drag's set right because they'll head straight for structure.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are one of the most beautiful fish you'll encounter, with brilliant gold sides and electric blue-green backs that put on a real color show when they come out of the water. These fast-growing fish average 15-30 pounds and about 39 inches, though we've seen some real bulls push 50+ pounds. You'll find them around floating debris, weedlines, and current breaks in 100-400 feet of water. They're most active during our warmer months from spring through fall. What makes mahi so popular is their aggressive strikes, acrobatic fights, and fantastic table fare - mild, sweet, and firm. When we're trolling for them, I always tell my guests to watch for frigate birds working debris piles, as they'll lead you right to feeding mahi schools.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of our waters, capable of hitting 60 mph when they take your bait. These sleek predators average 3-5 feet but can reach over 8 feet, with that distinctive blue-striped silver body and razor-sharp teeth. We find them in open water from 30-300 feet, often around structure like wrecks or drop-offs. Peak season here runs July through November when they're most abundant. Anglers love wahoo for their blistering runs and excellent eating - the meat's white, flaky, and mild. High-speed trolling at 12-15 knots works best, but here's my tip: always use wire leaders because those teeth will cut through anything else in a heartbeat. When one hits, hang on tight - they'll test your drag and your nerves.
