When you book this 10-hour private wreck fishing charter with Peacemaker Charters, you're securing one of the most comprehensive offshore fishing experiences available. Starting at dawn with a 6:00 AM departure, this $2,350 adventure accommodates up to 6 anglers and covers everything from nearshore runs to deep wreck exploration. Captain and crew know these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on fish using proven techniques that consistently produce results. This isn't your average half-day trip – we're talking about a full day of serious fishing that gives you the time to really dial in on different species and structures.
Your day begins before sunrise, which means you'll be running to the fishing grounds as the sun comes up – one of the best times to be on the water. The beauty of a 10-hour charter is that we're not rushed. We can hit multiple spots, try different techniques, and really maximize your chances at a variety of species. You'll start with some nearshore action, then push out to the reefs and wrecks where the bigger fish hang out. The boat is equipped for comfort during these longer trips, with plenty of space for your group of up to 6 to spread out and fish without getting in each other's way. Bring your own food and drinks since meals aren't provided – most anglers pack a cooler with sandwiches, snacks, and plenty of water to stay fueled throughout the day.
This charter covers the full spectrum of offshore fishing techniques, and that's what makes it special. We'll be bottom fishing the wrecks with heavy tackle for those big snappers and grouper that call these structures home. Jigging is deadly effective around the wrecks – dropping heavy jigs down and working them vertically to trigger strikes from cobia and amberjack. When we're running between spots, we'll have trolling lines out targeting kings, mahi, and whatever else is moving through the area. The popping and spinning gear comes into play when we find schools of fish on the surface – nothing beats the visual excitement of watching a fish blow up on a topwater plug. Kite fishing is a specialized technique that's particularly effective for certain species, and drift fishing lets us cover water efficiently while presenting baits naturally. The crew provides all the gear, but if you have favorite rods or reels, feel free to bring them along.
Redfish are one of the most sought-after inshore species, but when you find them offshore around structure, they're typically larger and fight even harder. These copper-colored bruisers can push 20-30 pounds and will give you a battle you won't forget. They're most active during the cooler months and early mornings, often found cruising around the edges of wrecks looking for baitfish. What makes redfish special is their bulldogging fight – they don't jump much, but they'll use every ounce of their strength to get back to the bottom.
Mahi mahi are the poster fish for offshore fishing, and for good reason. These vibrant, acrobatic fighters are most abundant during the warmer months when they follow floating debris and weed lines. A good-sized mahi will range from 10-40 pounds, with the occasional bull pushing 50+. They're aggressive feeders that will hit both live bait and lures, and their aerial displays when hooked are something every angler needs to experience. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish in the ocean, making them a favorite target for both sport and the dinner table.
Cobia are the bulldogs of the wreck fishing world. These brown, shark-looking fish cruise around structure and can reach impressive sizes – 30 to 50 pounds isn't uncommon. Spring through fall is prime cobia season, and they're known for following rays and sharks near the surface. Sight fishing for cobia is one of the most exciting forms of angling because you can often see them coming to the boat. They're curious fish that will investigate lures and baits, but they can also be finicky. When you hook one, be ready for a long, powerful fight.
Red snapper are the bread and butter of wreck fishing when they're in season. These deep-dwelling fish live around hard bottom and structure, making wrecks perfect habitat. They typically run 5-15 pounds, with occasional larger fish pushing 20+. Snapper are excellent table fare and fight surprisingly hard for their size. The key to success is getting your bait to the bottom quickly in the right spot – they don't chase food very far. When snapper are biting, you can load the boat, making them a crew and customer favorite.
Spanish mackerel are speed demons that provide non-stop action when you find a school. These smaller members of the mackerel family typically run 1-4 pounds but make up for their size with aggressive strikes and fast runs. They're most active during the warmer months and will hit small lures, spoons, and live bait with equal enthusiasm. Spanish mackerel are perfect for lighter tackle fishing and are great for getting kids or inexperienced anglers involved since they bite readily and fight hard for their size.
This 10-hour wreck fishing charter represents serious value for groups looking to maximize their time on the water. At $2,350 for up to 6 anglers, you're getting a full day of guided fishing that covers multiple techniques and targets a variety of species. The early start time means you'll be fishing during prime hours, and the extended duration gives you the flexibility to adapt to conditions and fish behavior throughout the day. Peacemaker Charters has built their reputation on putting clients on fish, and this comprehensive trip showcases everything they do best. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to target specific species or a group wanting to experience the full range of offshore fishing, this charter
Step aboard this restored 35-foot Henriques sportfisher, your floating command center for serious wreck hunting. Built in 1987 and given new life in 2022, she's powered by twin Perkins diesels pushing 240HP each, cruising steady at 16 knots to get you out to the productive offshore structure. The spacious cockpit gives your crew of up to 6 plenty of room to work multiple lines while the flybridge puts you up high for spotting birds and bait schools. Down below, you'll find air conditioning to escape the heat, full galley and head, plus sleeping quarters for those who need a break between fights. Modern electronics including GPS, radar, and fish finder help locate the best wrecks holding snapper, cobia, and king mackerel. The icebox and refrigerator keep your catch fresh and drinks cold during the 10-hour adventure. Whether you're jigging the bottom, kite fishing the surface, or trolling the edges, this classic sportfisher delivers the stability and comfort needed for serious offshore angling.
Rachycentron CanadumCobia are brown, shark-looking fish that average 30-50 pounds but can push 100. They're loners, cruising around wrecks, buoys, and reefs in 30-100 feet of water. Spring migration and summer months offer the best shots when they move through following baitfish. What makes cobia special is their curious nature - they'll actually swim up to the boat to investigate, giving you sight-casting opportunities. Plus, they're world-class table fare with firm, white meat that tastes like a cross between grouper and shark. The fight is strong and stubborn. Here's a tip that works: when you see one, don't get excited and make noise. Quietly drop a bucktail jig or live bait right in front of them.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are the ocean's most colorful fighters, flashing gold and electric blue as they jump and run. Most fish we catch run 15-30 pounds, but bulls can hit 50+ pounds. They hang around floating debris, weedlines, and current breaks in 100-600 feet of water. Warmer months bring the best action when they're feeding near the surface. Guests love them for those spectacular aerial shows and because the meat is absolutely top-shelf - firm, mild, and perfect on the grill. These fish travel fast and don't stick around long, so when you spot one, expect company. Pro tip: always keep a second bait ready because where there's one mahi, there's usually a whole school nearby.
Lutjanus CampechanusRed snapper are the kings of bottom fishing, averaging 15-25 inches but growing much larger in deeper water. They live on hard bottom, reefs, and wrecks in 60-300 feet, holding tight to structure. Summer months during their season offer the best action when they're actively feeding. Anglers love the challenge because snappers are smart, strong fighters that will try to cut your line on the structure below. The payoff is some of the finest eating fish in the ocean - sweet, firm meat that's perfect for any recipe. They're also beautiful fish with that classic red color. My advice: use circle hooks with fresh cut bait, drop it straight down to the bottom, and be ready to muscle them up and away from the rocks quickly.
Sciaenops OcellatusRedfish are copper-colored bruisers that typically run 20-35 inches and fight like they're twice that size. You'll find them cruising shallow flats, around oyster bars, and near dock pilings in 1-4 feet of water - sometimes so shallow their backs show above the surface. Spring and fall are prime time when they're feeding aggressively before and after spawning. What makes them special is that explosive strike in skinny water, plus they're fantastic eating with that sweet, flaky meat. These fish are smart and spooky in clear, shallow areas, so here's the key: keep your distance and make long, quiet casts. A gold spoon or soft plastic shrimp worked slowly past their nose usually does the trick.
Scomberomorus MaculatusSpanish mackerel are silver speed demons with yellow spots, typically running 1-3 pounds but putting up a fight like much bigger fish. They school up near the surface around structures, piers, and open water in 10-40 feet during warmer months. Spring through fall brings steady action as they follow baitfish along the coast. What guests love is the non-stop action - when you find a school, it's fish after fish. They're also excellent eating with mild, flaky meat that's great grilled or smoked. These fish are fast and have sharp teeth, so wire leaders are essential. Best tip: look for diving birds or bait activity on the surface, then cast small spoons or jigs and retrieve them quickly through the school.
