Offshore Fishing
Sixhour offshore fishing trip departing 7 AM or 2 PM dailyProfessional crew targets Miami's prime fishing grounds with proven techniquesSmall group experience accommodates up to six guests maximum
Looking for a solid day on the water? This Miami fishing charter gives you two options to make it happen—early birds can hit the water at 7 AM, or if you're more of an afternoon person, we'll launch at 2 PM. Either way, you're getting six full hours targeting some of Miami's hottest fishing spots. We're talking about waters that consistently produce Grey Snapper, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. The boat handles up to six anglers comfortably, so bring your crew or join a small group of fellow fishing enthusiasts. No need to stress about experience level—whether you're learning to tie your first knot or you've been chasing pelagics for decades, we'll match the approach to your skill set.
Miami's offshore waters are legendary for good reason. We're launching from one of the busiest fishing ports on the East Coast, which means quick access to productive grounds without burning half your day just getting there. The Gulf Stream runs close to shore here, bringing warm water, baitfish, and the predators that follow them. Depending on conditions and what's biting, we might head to the reef edge for snapper action or push further offshore where the big pelagics roam. The vibe stays relaxed—no high-pressure fishing here. We're focused on putting you on fish while soaking up Miami's year-round sunshine and that constant ocean breeze that makes even the hottest days comfortable. You'll get to see the Miami skyline from a completely different angle, and on clear days, the water clarity will blow you away.
We run a mix of techniques depending on what species we're targeting. For the offshore bite, we'll have multiple trolling lines out with a spread of lures designed to attract Kings, Mahi, and Wahoo. Circle hooks keep everything legal and improve fish survival, plus they're way more forgiving if you're still getting the hang of setting the hook. When we're working structure for snapper, we'll switch to bottom rigs with just enough weight to get down while maintaining feel. All tackle is provided, but if you've got a lucky rod or favorite reel, feel free to bring it along. We carry a range of line weights to match conditions—lighter stuff for better action when the bite is finicky, heavier gear when we need to muscle fish away from structure. Bait selection depends on what's working that day, but we always have a good mix of live offerings and proven artificials ready to go.
Recent guests have been stoked with their results and the overall experience. "Great time, great local guide, great boat, does everything in his power to get you mahi-mahi hooked" - Eduardo Moreno. "So much fun whether you catch fish or not!! Great host!!" - Lester. "Brandon was exceptional. The trip started off a little slow due to weather but he put in the extra time and made sure the guys had a great experience!!! We loved it !!!" - Philip Balsman. These reviews highlight what we're all about—adapting to conditions, going the extra mile when needed, and making sure everyone has a good time regardless of how cooperative the fish are feeling that day.
Grey Snapper are the bread and butter of Miami reef fishing. These guys average 2-5 pounds but don't let the size fool you—they've got attitude and will test your drag system. They're structure-oriented, so we'll find them around coral heads, ledges, and artificial reefs. Best action typically happens during moving tides when they're actively feeding. What makes snapper fishing so addictive is the consistency—when you find a good school, you can usually count on steady action. Plus, they're fantastic table fare, making them a favorite target for anglers who like to take dinner home.
King Mackerel bring the speed and aggression that gets everyone's adrenaline pumping. These torpedo-shaped predators can stretch the tape anywhere from 15-40 pounds in Miami waters, with occasional giants pushing even bigger. They're most active during the cooler months from October through March, but we see them year-round. Kings are notorious for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps—expect your drag to scream when you hook up. They're also excellent eating when handled properly, though many anglers practice catch and release to keep the fishery healthy.
Mahi Mahi are hands down one of the most exciting species to target in Miami's offshore waters. These brilliant gold and green fish are pure energy, jumping repeatedly and changing colors as they fight. Most Mahi we encounter range from 10-25 pounds, though bull dolphins can top 40 pounds. They're often found around floating debris, weed lines, or current breaks where baitfish concentrate. Peak season runs from late spring through early fall, but Miami's year-round warm water means you might encounter them anytime. Their firm, white meat makes them a prized catch for the dinner table.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world, capable of reaching speeds over 50 mph. These sleek predators typically range from 15-50 pounds in local waters and are known for their razor-sharp teeth and lightning-fast strikes. They prefer the cleaner blue water found along the Gulf Stream edge, making them a prime target during our offshore pushes. Wahoo are most active during the winter months but can be encountered year-round. Their mild, flaky meat is considered among the best eating fish in the ocean, and their powerful runs make for memorable fights.
Miami's fishing scene stays hot all year, but boat availability can get tight during peak seasons and weekends. This six-hour format gives you serious fishing time without eating up your entire day, leaving room for other Miami activities. Whether you're a local looking to get back out there

Lutjanus GriseusAlso called Mangrove Snapper, these clever fish run 1-4 pounds inshore, though offshore specimens can hit 20. They're smart, cautious feeders that hang around docks, bridges, and mangrove roots where they ambush prey. Best fishing happens at night when they're most active - they're naturally nocturnal. Grey Snappers are prized for their sweet, flaky white meat that's perfect for the table. They fight harder than you'd expect for their size and test your patience with their finicky feeding habits. The key is letting your live shrimp sit still on the bottom near structure - too much movement spooks them. Once you feel that tap, don't jerk the rod. Let them take it and slowly lift to set the hook. These fish reward patience with some of the best eating you'll find in local waters.
Scomberomorus CavallaThese speed demons are what dreams are made of - averaging 30 pounds but capable of hitting 90+. Kings cruise the 40-150 foot range along drop-offs and structure, with bigger fish often found deeper. Peak season runs fall through spring when water temps hit that sweet 68-84°F range. What makes them special is pure speed - they'll scream line off your reel faster than almost anything else out there. The fight is electric, and the meat is rich and flavorful, though high in oil content. Kings are famous for biting the back half of live bait, so always rig with two hooks - one in the nose, one trailing behind. Wire leaders are a must since their razor teeth will slice through mono instantly. When trolling, keep your speed up around 12-15 knots to trigger those aggressive strikes.
Coryphaena HippurusThese rainbow-colored beauties average 15-29 pounds and put on a light show when hooked - their golden sides flash blue and green until they fade after landing. Mahi love floating debris, weed lines, and current edges in open water. Spring through fall is prime time, especially when frigate birds are working the surface. What sets them apart is their acrobatic fight and top-shelf table fare - mild, sweet, and firm. They mature fast and spawn year-round, keeping populations strong. The secret is trolling ballyhoo or squid skipping on the surface near any floating structure. Once you hook one, keep it in the water if possible - others often hang around and you can catch multiple fish from the same school. Look for birds diving on bait and floating sargassum patches.
Acanthocybium SolandriPure speed in fish form - wahoo can hit 60 mph and will test your drag system like nothing else. These sleek predators average 3-5 feet but can stretch over 8, with sharp teeth that demand wire leaders. They patrol open water from surface down to about 66 feet, often near floating objects or current breaks. July through November is peak season here in Florida waters. The fight is blistering fast with long runs, and the white meat is delicate and sweet - they call it "ono" in Hawaii, meaning delicious. High-speed trolling at 12-15 knots with diving lures or bulletheads works best. My go-to trick is running a ballyhoo behind a skirted head at varying depths. When you get bit, hold on tight - these fish don't know the meaning of quit and will give you a workout you won't forget.
