Offshore Fishing
Sixhour private offshore fishing trip aboard 39foot sportfishing vesselTarget multiple species including Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and AmberjackAll equipment, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses included with booking
This isn't your typical half-day quickie on the water. When you book this private 6-hour charter with Finway Sportfishing, you're getting serious time to work the offshore grounds where the big fish live. Running from 8 AM to 2 PM, this trip gives you and up to three buddies the whole boat to yourselves – no strangers crowding your space or rushing your shots at trophy fish. The 39-foot custom sportfisher is built for comfort and fish-fighting, with plenty of room to work multiple lines and chase whatever's biting that day.
Six hours means business – you'll have time to hit multiple spots and really dial in on what the fish want. The captain knows these offshore reefs and wrecks like his backyard, and with a private charter, he can adjust the game plan based on what you're seeing. Maybe the mahi are schooled up on floating debris in the morning, then you run to a wreck for amberjack in the afternoon. That's the beauty of having dedicated time and your own boat. The 39-footer handles the offshore swells like a champ, so you can focus on fishing instead of hanging onto the rails. Everything's included – rods, reels, tackle, bait, even your fishing license. Just bring sunscreen, snacks, and drinks for the day.
You'll run the full playbook on this trip. Trolling is bread and butter for covering water and finding active fish – nothing beats the strike of a wahoo or sailfish crushing a ballyhoo at 8 knots. When you mark good structure or find floating debris, it's time to break out the jigs and work them through the water column for amberjack and mahi. Kite fishing is where things get really exciting – flying live baits from kites creates that irresistible surface commotion that sailfish and kings can't ignore. The captain will coach you through each technique, whether you're a seasoned angler or still learning to read the water. With 6 hours, there's time to master different approaches and really understand what's working that day.
"We were delayed by an unexpected travel mishap that caused us to arrive late for our trip. The captain was incredibly kind and flexible and extended our trip as he did not have another trip booked for us. Attentive and patient instructor to teach the various fishing" - Danuta
"An unforgettable fishing family trip with stunning waters and wonderfull catches. Perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and pure joy with people who love the sea and like to communicate their passion… Thank you Captain Haime" - Doudon
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of offshore fishing, and these waters hold good numbers year-round with peak action in winter and spring. These magnificent fish average 6-8 feet and put on an aerial show that'll have your heart pounding. They're ambush predators that love to work bait schools, making them perfect targets for kite fishing and slow-trolled baits. When a sail lights up a bait, you'll see that famous dorsal fin cutting the surface before all hell breaks loose. The fight combines blistering runs with spectacular jumps – exactly why sailfish are considered the ultimate light-tackle gamefish.
King Mackerel patrol these offshore waters like wolves, hitting fast and fighting dirty. These silver bullets can stretch over 40 inches and weigh 20-30 pounds, with the occasional smoker king pushing 50 pounds. They're most active during warmer months when baitfish are thick, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Kings have razor-sharp teeth and a bad attitude – they'll cut you off in a heartbeat if your wire leader isn't up to par. The initial run is pure violence, then they settle into a dogged fight that tests your drag system and your patience.
Mahi Mahi bring the color and the chaos to offshore fishing. These golden beauties love floating debris, seaweed lines, and anything that concentrates baitfish. School-size mahi run 10-20 pounds and travel in packs, so when you find one, there's usually more around. Bull mahi can push 40-50 pounds and fight with surprising power for their size. They're aggressive feeders that'll crush jigs, trolled baits, and live offerings with equal enthusiasm. The best part about mahi fishing is the visual aspect – you can often see them glowing underwater before they strike, and their colors are absolutely electric when they're fired up.
Snowy Grouper are deep-water prizes that require some serious fishing knowledge to target consistently. These white and pink beauties live on deep reefs and wrecks, typically in 300-600 feet of water. They're not the biggest grouper species, usually running 10-20 pounds, but they're prized for their sweet meat and challenging habitat. Catching snowies means heavy jigs, stout tackle, and the skill to work baits in strong current over rough bottom. When you hook one, it's a straight power fight – they dive for the rocks and test every knot in your rig.
Great Barracuda are the ocean's torpedoes, built for speed and armed with a mouth full of daggers. These silver missiles can stretch 4-5 feet and hit trolled baits with shocking violence. Cuda are sight predators with incredible eyesight, making them perfect targets for flashy spoons and shiny plugs. They're ambush hunters that lurk around reefs and structure, exploding on unsuspecting baitfish in spectacular fashion. The fight is typically one massive run followed by several shorter bursts, punctuated by their tendency to leap and tail-walk across the surface. Wire leaders are absolutely essential – their teeth will slice through mono
Step aboard this 39-foot custom sportfishing machine, completely restored in 2021 and built for serious offshore action. This beauty handles the open water like a dream while you target everything from screaming Mahi and lightning-fast Wahoo to hard-fighting Amberjack and Bull Sharks around the reefs and wrecks. The boat's loaded with everything you need - GPS and fishfinder to locate the hottest spots, outriggers for perfect trolling spreads, live bait well for the freshest presentations, and a fighting chair when you hook into something big. There's an onboard toilet so you never miss fishing time, plus an icebox to keep your catch fresh and drinks cold during those productive 6-hour runs. Whether you're kite fishing for Sailfish, jigging deep structure for Vermilion Snapper, or trolling the blue water, this rig puts you right where the fish are biting.
Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic Sailfish are the speedsters of the deep - these gorgeous fish can hit 35 mph and put on quite a show with their signature dorsal fin. You'll typically find them in 30-65 feet of water, though they'll dive deeper when chasing bait. Most run 7-8 feet and around 50 pounds, but the fights they put up make them feel twice that size. They love warm water between 70-83°F and are most active during our cooler months when baitfish are thick. What makes them special is the aerial display - expect multiple jumps and long runs that'll test your stamina. The meat's decent, but most folks are here for the battle and bragging rights. Pro tip: when kite fishing for them, keep your bait skipping on the surface and be ready to drop back when they come up to investigate - they like to study their meal before committing.
Sphyraena BarracudaGreat Barracuda are the silver missiles of shallow water - aggressive, curious, and lightning fast. These toothy predators average 2-4 feet but can stretch to 6 feet and 100+ pounds. You'll find them around reefs, grass flats, and mangroves from the surface down to about 30 feet, especially during spring spawning season. What makes them exciting is their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights - they'll jump, run, and give you everything they've got in short bursts. The meat's hit-or-miss due to ciguatera concerns, so most folks are here for the sport. They hunt by sight and are naturally curious, often following lures before striking. Key tip: use a wire leader and keep shiny objects to a minimum - they're attracted to flash. When one follows your bait, speed up the retrieve or pause it completely. Gets them fired up every time.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing Mackerel, or "Smoker Kings" as we call the big ones, are built for speed and can match a Wahoo's pace when they want to. These silver bullets average 30 pounds but the females can push 50-60 pounds after about 7 years. You'll find them anywhere from 40-150 feet, usually around structure or temperature breaks where baitfish stack up. Spring through fall are prime time when water temps hit 68-84°F. They're popular because they hit hard, make blistering runs, and the smaller ones make great table fare with their rich, flaky meat. Just watch the mercury levels on bigger fish. The key to landing Kings is using a dual-hook rig with wire leader - they love to bite baitfish in half, so hook one in the nose and let the trailing hook swing free near the tail. Works every time.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi Mahi are hands-down the most beautiful fish we catch out here. These golden beauties average 15-30 pounds and rarely live past 4 years, but they grow fast and fight hard. Look for them around floating debris, weed lines, or anything that creates shade - they're surface dwellers that love structure. Peak season varies with water temps, but warmer months usually produce best. What guests love most is the color show - they flash electric blues and greens underwater, then cycle through a rainbow when boated. The meat's fantastic too - firm, white, and mild-flavored, perfect for the grill. Plus, where there's one mahi, there's usually more. My go-to trick is keeping one hooked fish in the water while others cast to the school - mahi are curious and won't leave their buddy behind. Just make sure your bait skips like a flying fish.
Epinephelus Snowy Grouper are the deep-water prizes that serious bottom fishermen dream about. These copper-colored bruisers with white spots average 30 pounds but can hit 70, living in 300-600 feet over rocky structure. Season runs May through August with a one-fish-per-boat limit, making each catch special. What makes them worth the deep drop is their incredible table quality - sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. The challenge is getting them up from the depths before sharks find them. They're aggressive feeders that'll slam squid, bonito strips, or whole mackerel, but the real work starts when you hook up. Electric reels help, but even then it's a long pull. Pro tip: use at least 80-pound leader and get them up fast - they don't handle the pressure change well, so no catch-and-release here. Make every shot count.
