8hour Atlantic offshore fishing adventure targeting trophy speciesProfessional captains guide trips to prime deepsea fishing spotsSmall group experience with maximum 3 guests per charter
If you're looking to test your skills against some of the Atlantic's most prized gamefish, this 8-hour offshore charter with Kenzi Boats is your ticket to the deep blue. We're talking about real deal offshore fishing here - 20+ miles out where the water runs deep blue and the fish run big. Starting at 6:30 AM sharp, you'll have the whole day to work prime fishing grounds where Atlantic Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tarpon patrol. With just 3 anglers max, you're getting a personalized experience that lets everyone get their hands on the rods without crowding the cockpit.
Your day starts before sunrise, which is exactly when serious offshore anglers want to be heading out. The early departure puts you on the fishing grounds right as the bite turns on. Space Coast waters offer some of Florida's most consistent offshore action, thanks to the Gulf Stream's proximity and the deep water structure that holds baitfish. You'll spend your morning running to spots where the captain's electronics show promise - temperature breaks, weed lines, and structure that concentrate gamefish. The intimate 3-person capacity means you're not fighting for rod time or missing strikes while someone else fights a fish. Every angler gets quality time with multiple species throughout the day, and the experienced crew keeps baits in the water and lines tight.
This is serious trolling country, and the crew runs a spread designed to attract multiple species simultaneously. You'll typically see a mix of ballyhoo rigged on circle hooks, diving plugs, and surface lures working different zones in the water column. The boat carries quality Penn and Shimano reels spooled with braided line - gear that can handle everything from a screaming Wahoo run to a Sailfish going airborne. When fish are located, the crew switches tactics between high-speed trolling for Wahoo and Mahi, slower pulls for Sailfish, and live bait fishing when Tarpon are in the area. The captain reads conditions throughout the day, adjusting depth, speed, and lure selection based on what's working. You'll learn to work the spread, handle fighting fish properly, and pick up techniques that translate to future fishing trips.
Atlantic Sailfish are the crown jewel of Space Coast offshore fishing, and these waters consistently produce some of Florida's best Sailfish action. Peak season runs from December through April when cooler water temperatures push baitfish closer to shore and Sailfish follow in numbers. These acrobatic fighters average 6-8 feet and put on aerial displays that make every angler's heart race. The thrill comes from watching a Sailfish light up and attack a bait, then go completely airborne multiple times during the fight. Space Coast captains have refined Sailfish techniques over decades, knowing exactly how to present baits and fight these fish for successful releases.
Mahi Mahi bring explosive action and excellent table fare to the mix, typically showing up around floating debris, weed lines, and temperature breaks. These fish school up in good numbers, meaning when you find one, there are usually more nearby. Mahi hit hard and fight with bulldogging power mixed with acrobatic jumps. Bulls can push 30+ pounds while females typically run 10-20 pounds. Spring through fall offers the most consistent Mahi action, with peak numbers usually showing from May through September. The crew knows how to work a Mahi school, keeping some fish in the water to hold the school while cycling through multiple hookups.
Wahoo represent the speed demons of the deep, capable of runs that scream line off reels faster than any other local gamefish. These torpedo-shaped predators patrol drop-offs and current edges, ambushing baitfish with lightning speed. Most Wahoo caught offshore Space Coast range from 15-40 pounds, with occasional fish pushing 50+ pounds. High-speed trolling with diving plugs and rigged ballyhoo accounts for most Wahoo catches, and the key is covering water efficiently. The meat is outstanding - firm, white fillets that rival any offshore species for table quality.
Tarpon bring a different dimension to offshore fishing, especially during summer months when these silver giants stage in nearshore and offshore waters. While primarily known as inshore gamefish, Tarpon venture offshore to feed and spawn, offering opportunities for truly memorable encounters. These fish can exceed 100 pounds and are famous for spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Live bait fishing around structure or along current edges produces the best Tarpon action offshore. The fight combines raw power with acrobatic ability, testing angler skill and tackle to the limit.
An 8-hour offshore charter gives you the time needed to really work different areas and techniques while targeting multiple species throughout the day. The early start maximizes your fishing time during peak morning hours, while the extended duration allows for longer runs to productive waters that shorter trips can't reach. With Kenzi Boats' experienced crew and quality equipment, you're set up for success whether you're new to offshore fishing or a seasoned angler looking for consistent action. The 3-angler limit ensures everyone gets hands-on time with the gear and personalized instruction from the crew. Space Coast waters deliver year-round offshore opportunities, making this a trip that produces regardless of season. Ready to see what's swimming out there in the blue water?

Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the speedsters of our offshore waters, hitting up to 35 mph and averaging 7-8 feet long. These fish cruise the surface waters around 30-60 feet deep, following warm currents and baitfish schools. Winter months bring the best action here off the Space Coast when water temps stay in the 70s. What makes them special? That iconic sail-like dorsal fin and their acrobatic jumps when hooked - they'll leap repeatedly trying to shake the hook. They're strong fighters with serious endurance. The meat's decent but most folks release them for the sport. Pro tip: when one takes your bait, don't set the hook immediately. Let them run with it for a few seconds first, then strike hard - their bills make hooksets tricky.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are some of the most colorful fish in our offshore waters, flashing gold, blue, and green when alive. They typically run 15-30 pounds and about 3 feet long, cruising the surface waters around floating debris, weed lines, and current edges. Best fishing happens when water temps hit the mid-70s and warmer, usually late spring through fall. What makes them popular? They're aggressive feeders, fight hard with lots of jumps, and taste fantastic - firm white meat that's perfect grilled or blackened. They travel in schools, so where you find one, there's usually more. Look for frigate birds diving on baitfish - that's often where the mahi are feeding underneath. Quick tip: always keep one hooked fish in the water while others in the boat grab rods - it keeps the school around longer.
Megalops AtlanticusTarpon are the silver kings of our inshore and nearshore waters, with most fish running 4-6 feet and 80-100 pounds, though giants over 200 pounds show up. They love shallow coastal waters, grass flats, and channels around 10-30 feet deep. Best fishing happens late spring through early fall when they migrate through our area. What draws people to target them? Pure athleticism - they'll jump 10 feet out of the water and fight for hours. Their silver scales flash like mirrors when they leap. Most anglers release them since the meat's bony and tough. These fish can live 50+ years, so that big one you're fighting might be older than you. Here's the key: when they jump, bow to the fish by dropping your rod tip toward them - keeps tension off and prevents them from throwing the hook.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the rockets of the deep blue, capable of hitting 60 mph with their torpedo-shaped bodies. Most run 3-5 feet long and 20-60 pounds, though we've seen them over 100. They patrol open water from 30-200 feet deep, often around structure or current breaks. Fall and winter months are prime time here off the Space Coast when they follow baitfish migrations. Anglers love them for two reasons: they make blistering runs when hooked and the meat is outstanding - white, flaky, and mild. Their razor-sharp teeth can slice through regular leaders like butter. The key to catching wahoo is speed - troll fast at 12-15 knots with wire leaders and diving lures. When you get a bite, the reel will scream. Pro tip: use a short wire leader, maybe 2 feet max - longer wire spooks them in clear water.
