Offshore Fishing
Inshore and offshore luxury fishing charter experienceFresh live bait caught daily by professional crewAll equipment provided for spin, plug, or fly fishing
Looking for a fishing adventure that delivers both variety and luxury? Fan Sea Luxury Charters offers the perfect blend of inshore finesse fishing and offshore big game action, all wrapped up in a premium experience. With space for just two anglers, you'll get the personal attention every serious angler craves, whether you're working shallow flats or heading out to blue water for the fight of a lifetime.
This isn't your typical crowded charter boat experience. With only two spots available, you'll have plenty of room to work your lines and the captain's undivided attention when it comes to finding fish. The day starts early with our crew catching fresh live bait – none of that frozen stuff here. You'll have your choice of fishing styles too: spin fishing for versatility, plug fishing for that surface action, or fly fishing if you want to test your skills against whatever's biting. The boat transitions seamlessly between inshore structure fishing and offshore trolling, so you're not locked into one type of fishing all day. Expect to cover serious ground as we chase the bite, from shallow grass flats to deeper channels and out to the blue water where the real monsters live.
All your tackle is provided, which means you don't have to worry about airline baggage fees or forgetting that one crucial lure at home. The boat comes rigged with quality spinning gear, conventional reels for the heavy stuff, and fly rods if that's your style. For inshore work, we'll be sight fishing structure, casting to drop-offs, and working bait around grass beds and mangrove edges. The live bait we catch each morning makes all the difference – there's nothing like a frisky pilchard or goggle-eye to get a snook or tarpon fired up. When we head offshore, it's time to break out the heavier tackle. We'll troll spreads of ballyhoo, deploy live bait on kites, and work the thermoclines where pelagic species stack up. The captain knows how to read the water, from subtle color changes that indicate current breaks to bird activity that signals feeding fish below.
The beauty of this mixed inshore-offshore approach means your target list is seriously diverse. Inshore, you're looking at snook, which are absolute blast on light tackle. These fish love structure and ambush prey from mangrove overhangs and dock pilings. They hit hard and immediately try to wrap you up, so you need quick reflexes and a smooth drag. Best fishing is usually early morning and late afternoon when they move shallow to feed. Redfish are another inshore favorite – these copper-colored bruisers cruise grass flats and oyster bars, often in schools that'll make your heart race. They're year-round residents but really stack up during their fall spawn.
Offshore is where things get interesting for big game enthusiasts. Mahi-mahi are the bread and butter of offshore fishing, especially during their peak season. These beautiful fish travel in schools under floating debris and weed lines, and when you find one, you've usually found many. They hit trolled baits aggressively and put on an amazing aerial show. Sailfish are the prize of any offshore trip – these billfish are pure elegance and speed, often exceeding 60 mph when they take off. They're most active when water temperatures hit that sweet spot, and nothing beats watching one greyhound across the surface after inhaling your bait.
Tarpon fishing is legendary here, with these silver giants migrating through in massive schools during their spawning runs. A 100-pound tarpon on fly gear is a bucket-list experience that'll test every ounce of your skill and endurance. They jump repeatedly, gill-rattling and throwing hooks with surprising frequency. King mackerel round out the offshore roster – these toothy speedsters are excellent table fare and provide steady action when trolled at the right depth along structure and temperature breaks.
With only two anglers per trip, these charters fill up fast, especially during peak fishing seasons. You're getting access to both inshore and offshore fishing grounds, professional-grade equipment, and fresh live bait – all the ingredients for a world-class fishing experience. The intimate setting means you'll learn more, fish more effectively, and have stories worth telling for years. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to target specific species or someone wanting to experience the best of both fishing worlds, this charter delivers the goods. Don't wait until the last minute – the best fishing days book weeks in advance, and you don't want to miss your shot at the trip of a lifetime.
Hit the water in our well-equipped luxury fishing boat, perfect for targeting both inshore and offshore species. This motorboat features comfortable padded seating with shade coverage under a hard T-top, plus a specially designed hull that keeps you dry while working the fishing grounds. Stay connected with the onboard phone charging station and multimedia system between bites. Our boat comes loaded with serious fishing tech - GPS navigation guides you to productive waters, while the fish finder helps locate schools below. The radar keeps you safe in low visibility, and VHF radio maintains contact with other vessels. A wireless trolling motor lets you approach fish quietly without spooking them. Keep your catch fresh in the icebox along with cold drinks for the trip back to dock. Built for two anglers, this setup gives you plenty of room to cast, fight fish, and move around the boat. Whether you're working inshore structure or heading offshore for bigger game, you'll have everything needed for a productive day on the water.
