Target sailfish, tuna, snapper and cobia offshoreCaptain Scott provides all tackle and fishing licensesFull-day adventure accommodates up to four anglers
Captain Scott knows these Jupiter waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on some serious fish. Whether you're looking to battle sailfish or load up the cooler with snapper, this offshore adventure delivers the goods. His 32' Albemarle is built for the job – stable, spacious, and equipped with everything you need to tangle with the big guys. You'll be targeting sailfish, king mackerel, wahoo, cobia, and red snapper in some of Florida's most productive fishing grounds. Pack your snacks and drinks, bring your camera, and get ready for a day that'll have you planning your next trip before you even hit the dock.
This isn't your typical party boat crowd – Captain Scott keeps it intimate with just 4 anglers max, so you'll get the attention you deserve and plenty of room to work. The trip starts with a run to the blue water where the real action happens. You might find yourself trolling for kings and wahoo, then switching gears to live bait the sailfish bite, or dropping down to the bottom structure for some quality snapper action. Scott reads the conditions and adjusts the game plan accordingly – some days the sails are lit up, other days the bottom bite is on fire. That's what separates the pros from the weekend warriors. All your tackle, bait, and fishing licenses are covered, so you just need to show up ready to fish. The half-day trips are perfect if you want a taste of the offshore action, while the full-day adventures give you time to really dial in on different species and techniques.
Captain Scott's approach is all about matching the technique to the target. For the pelagic species like sailfish and kings, you'll be running a spread of trolling lures and rigged ballyhoo at different depths and distances. When the bite gets hot, it's all hands on deck with the spinning rods and live bait. The 32' Albemarle gives you the platform to fight these fish properly – plenty of cockpit space and the power to chase down a hot sailfish or big king. For the bottom fishing, Scott knows the productive structure and ledges where the snappers stack up. You'll be dropping circle hooks with chunks of bait, feeling for that telltale snapper thump. The electronics on board help locate the fish, but Scott's local knowledge is what puts you on the productive spots that the weekend crowd never finds. He's not afraid to run and gun either – if one spot isn't producing, you're moving to the next one.
"Scott knows the water and where the fish will be. I highly recommend him and will hire him again. There were 3 of us fishing and Scott handled everything well. His boat and equipment are workhorses that fit the bill for fishing. He tailored the trip for us and matched preferences with what fish were around. He didn't follow the crowd and we were very successful. We caught 3 sailfish and then switched over to bottom fishing for snappers. We got fish in the cooler before wrapping up at noon." - Michael. "Capt Scott is a professional who puts in the work to put you on the fish. We have fished with Scott for four years a couple times a year, we have never had an unsuccessful trip! Will continue to fish with Gettin Lucky for years to come! Fish on……" - Jason. "Captain Scott did an amazing job locating & catching all types of fish. We will definitely be back when we are in town again! Highly recommend!!! Thanks Captain! Alex and Grace C." - Alexander.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of Jupiter's offshore scene, and for good reason. These acrobatic fighters average 6-8 feet and put on a show like no other billfish. Peak season runs from December through April when they migrate down the coast, but you can find them year-round in Jupiter's waters. The thrill comes from watching that sail light up behind your bait, then exploding on the surface in a series of jumps that'll get your heart pumping. Most are catch and release, but the photo opportunities and bragging rights last forever.
King Mackerel are the speed demons of the offshore world, and Jupiter's kings are known for their size and fight. These fish can stretch over 40 inches and make blistering runs that'll test your drag system. Spring and fall are prime time, but summer fishing can be outstanding too. What makes kings so exciting is their unpredictability – one minute you're trolling along, the next minute your reel is screaming as a 20-pound king makes a run toward the horizon. They're excellent table fare too, so you'll have some quality fillets for the grill.
Wahoo are the Formula One cars of the fish world, capable of speeds over 60 mph. These torpedo-shaped predators have razor-sharp teeth and an attitude to match. They typically run 15-30 pounds in Jupiter waters, though bigger ones show up regularly. Fall and winter are peak times, but wahoo can pop up any time of year. The bite is lightning fast – blink and you'll miss it. Once hooked, they make long, screaming runs that'll have you questioning your knot-tying skills. The meat is premium sashimi grade, making them a favorite among serious offshore anglers.
Cobia are the bulldogs of the offshore world – strong, stubborn, and surprisingly smart. These brown sharks (as some call them) can reach 50+ pounds and are known for their curiosity around boats. Peak season runs from April through June, but you can find them around structure and floating debris year-round. What makes cobia special is their aggressive nature and excellent table quality. They'll often follow hooked fish to the boat, giving you multiple shot opportunities. When hooked, they make powerful runs and aren't afraid to dive under the boat to break you off.

Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of offshore fishing here in Jupiter. These majestic fish average 7-8 feet and around 50 pounds, with that iconic sail-like dorsal fin that makes them unmistakable. We find them in 30-150 feet of water, often hunting baitfish near the surface. They're most active during our winter months when they migrate through South Florida - we're right in "Sailfish Alley" between Miami and Fort Pierce. What makes them special is the fight - they'll jump, dive, and put on an aerial show that'll get your heart pumping. Most are catch-and-release to preserve the fishery. Pro tip: when you see that sail light up with those electric blue stripes, get ready - they're about to strike. Keep steady pressure but let them run when they want to jump.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are one of my favorite fish to target because they're curious, aggressive, and absolutely delicious. These brown, shark-like fish typically run 20-50 pounds and love hanging around structure - wrecks, buoys, even floating debris. We find them in 20-80 feet of water, often cruising just under the surface where you can sight-fish them. Spring through fall are best, especially during their spawning migration. What's cool about cobia is they'll often swim right up to the boat to investigate, giving you multiple shot opportunities. They fight hard with strong runs and dogged determination. The meat is firm and mild - some say it's like eating a cross between grouper and mahi. Pro tip: if you see one, there might be more nearby. Use a bucktail jig and work it slow near the bottom.
Scomberomorus CavallaKing Mackerel, or "Kings" as we call them, are speed demons that'll test your arms and your drag system. These torpedo-shaped fish typically run 10-30 pounds, but we catch plenty in the 40-50 pound range out here. They cruise in 40-150 feet of water, especially around structure and temperature breaks. Fall through spring are prime time when they're moving through our waters chasing baitfish. What makes them a favorite is that blistering first run - they'll peel line like nothing else, then settle into a strong, steady fight. Plus, they're fantastic eating with firm, flaky meat that's perfect for the grill. Here's the key: use a wire leader because those razor-sharp teeth will cut through mono in a heartbeat. When trolling, keep your speed around 8-12 knots and watch for diving birds.
Lutjanus CampechanusRed Snapper are the ultimate bottom fish - beautiful, delicious, and they fight like they're twice their size. These bright red fish average 2-8 pounds in our area, though bigger ones lurk in deeper water. We target them around structure in 60-200 feet - wrecks, reefs, and rocky bottom where they feel at home. They're available year-round, but summer months during spawning season can be hot when regulations allow. What makes them special is that bulldogging fight - they'll dive straight for structure trying to cut your line. The payoff is some of the best eating fish in the ocean - sweet, flaky white meat that's restaurant quality. Here's the deal: use fresh bait like squid or small fish, get it to the bottom fast, and be ready to horse them up quickly before they wrap you around the structure.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the Ferrari of the offshore world - built for pure speed and absolutely beautiful fish. These slender predators average 20-40 pounds but can hit 80+ pounds, with distinctive blue stripes over silver sides. We target them in blue water, usually 100+ feet deep, often near current edges and floating debris. They're around year-round but peak from summer through fall when baitfish are thick. The fight is all about that initial rocket run - they'll hit 40+ mph and strip line faster than you think possible. The bonus is the table fare - firm, white meat that's mild and sweet, perfect for fish tacos or grilling. My go-to technique is high-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with wire leaders. Those teeth are like razors, so don't even think about using mono or fluoro leaders.
