When you're ready to chase trophy fish in the deep blue, our private 12-hour offshore charter delivers the real deal. We're talking about a full day targeting some of the ocean's most prized gamefish – blue marlin, mahi mahi, wahoo, swordfish, and bluefin tuna. With up to 6 anglers on board, you'll have plenty of room to fish without feeling crowded, and our experienced crew knows exactly where to find the action. Pack your cooler with food and drinks because we're heading to the prime fishing grounds where the big boys live.
Your day starts early with about 2 hours of running time to reach the offshore fishing grounds where the pelagic species roam. Don't worry about tackle or bait – we've got everything rigged and ready, from heavy conventional setups for marlin to lighter spinning gear for mahi. The remaining 8 hours are pure fishing time, working everything from the surface down to the depths where swordfish cruise. Our crew handles all the technical stuff like reading the electronics, setting the spread, and coaching you through the fight when you hook up. Whether you've been fishing your whole life or this is your first time holding a rod, we'll put you on fish and make sure you know what you're doing. No fishing license needed either – we've got that covered too.
We run a mix of trolling techniques depending on what's biting and what you want to target. For marlin and tuna, we'll pull a spread of lures and rigged baits at different distances behind the boat, covering various depths and positions in the water column. When mahi are around, we switch to lighter tackle and work the weed lines and floating debris where they love to hang out. Wahoo fishing means running high-speed lures and wire leaders since these speed demons will slice through mono like butter. For swordfish, we're talking deep dropping with electric reels and heavy weights, targeting structure and temperature breaks where these sword-wielding predators hunt. All our rods are spooled with quality line, and we carry backup gear in case something gets spooled or broken during a big fight.
Blue marlin are the ultimate prize fish out here, and when one crashes your spread, everything changes in an instant. These apex predators can push 400-800 pounds and will test every bit of your strength and skill. They're most active during the warmer months when baitfish are thick, and watching one tail-walk across the surface while fighting is something you'll never forget. The combination of raw power and aerial acrobatics makes marlin fishing addictive for serious anglers.
Mahi mahi bring constant action and incredible table fare to your trip. These colorful fighters typically run 10-30 pounds and travel in schools, so when you find one, there are usually more around. They're aggressive feeders that hit everything from ballyhoo to jigs, and their bright gold and green colors light up when they're fighting. Mahi are active year-round in warmer waters and provide great action for anglers of all skill levels.
Wahoo are pure speed and sharp teeth wrapped in a torpedo-shaped package. These fish can hit 60 mph and typically weigh 20-60 pounds, though bigger ones cruise the deep water. They're known for savage strikes on high-speed lures and blistering runs that'll make your reel scream. Wahoo fishing peaks in cooler months, and their white, flaky meat is considered some of the best eating in the ocean.
Swordfish fishing is a different game entirely – we're targeting these gladiators in deep water using heavy tackle and serious patience. These prehistoric predators can exceed 200 pounds and fight with a mix of power and stubbornness that'll wear you out. Swordfish are most active during dawn, dusk, and nighttime hours when they move up in the water column to feed. Landing one is a badge of honor among serious offshore anglers.
Bluefin tuna represent the pinnacle of offshore fishing – these powerful fish combine incredible strength with surprising intelligence. Depending on the season and regulations, you might encounter school fish around 30-60 pounds or giant bluefin pushing 200+ pounds. They're extremely particular about presentations and can test your tackle to the breaking point with long, powerful runs. Bluefin activity varies seasonally, but when they're around, they provide some of the most challenging and rewarding fishing available.
A private 12-hour offshore charter gives you the freedom to target what you want without sharing the boat with strangers. Our crew knows these waters inside and out, and we're constantly adjusting tactics based on current conditions, water temperature, and recent reports. With all tackle and bait provided, you just need to bring your appetite for adventure and plenty of food and drinks for the long day. Whether you're planning a bachelor party, family fishing trip, or just want to experience world-class offshore fishing, this charter delivers the goods. The offshore bite doesn't wait for anyone, so grab your dates and let's get you hooked up with some serious gamefish.

Makaira NigricansThe ultimate trophy fish - Blue Marlin are absolute giants averaging 200-400 pounds, with females reaching over 1,000 pounds (we call those "granders"). These billfish cruise deep blue water around drop-offs and temperature breaks, using their spear-like bills to stun prey. Peak season runs warmer months when they follow baitfish migrations. What makes them special? The fight is legendary - they'll go airborne multiple times, making blistering runs that test your tackle and endurance. The meat's decent eating, but most folks release these beauties. Pro tip: when trolling, watch for that distinctive fin cutting the surface and be ready - when a blue grabs your bait, hang on tight because you're in for the battle of a lifetime.
Thunnus ThynnusBluefin tuna are the ultimate prize - powerful, intelligent fish that average 100-300 pounds and fight like freight trains. These warm-blooded speedsters can dive to 3,000 feet and hit 40+ mph. We find them in deep water around structure, temperature breaks, and baitfish schools. Best action typically runs fall through spring during their migration patterns. Guests target them for the incredible fight and world-class sushi-grade meat - bluefin is what high-end restaurants pay top dollar for. Fair warning: these fish will test every piece of gear you own with blistering runs and deep dives. Chunking with fresh bait or trolling cedar plugs are proven methods. Key tip: when you see birds working or bait balls on the sounder, get ready - bluefin often feed aggressively in groups, and landing one takes teamwork and heavy tackle.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi are some of the most beautiful fish you'll encounter - brilliant gold and green colors that put on a light show when they come to the boat. These surface dwellers run 15-30 pounds on average, though we see some pushing 50. They love floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks in open water. Best fishing happens spring through fall when water temps climb above 70°F. What guests love most is their aggressive nature - they'll slam trolled baits and fight hard with plenty of jumps. Plus, mahi are hands-down some of the best eating fish in the ocean - white, flaky meat that's perfect for tacos or grilling. Here's a local trick: when you hook one, keep the boat moving and work the area - mahi travel in schools and you'll often get multiple hookups.
Xiphias GladiusSwordfish are the gladiators of the deep - massive predators averaging 100-200 pounds that live in 1,000+ feet of water. These nocturnal hunters have that famous flat sword and can reach 15 feet long. We target them year-round, but peak action happens during warmer months when they move into shallower water at night to feed. What draws anglers? The challenge and the reward - landing a sword takes patience, heavy tackle, and skill. They're also outstanding table fare with firm, meaty steaks. Night fishing with squid baits and electric lights is the traditional method, though daytime deep-dropping works too. My advice: bring your patience and strongest gear. These fish fight like trucks, making long, powerful runs to the depths. Once you hook one, settle in for a battle that can last hours.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of the offshore world - sleek, torpedo-shaped fish that hit trolled baits at 40+ mph and strip line like nothing else. Most run 20-40 pounds with that distinctive blue-striped silver body. They prefer open ocean around 60-200 feet, often near drop-offs or current edges. Fall through spring gives you the best shot when they're moving through on migration routes. The appeal? Pure adrenaline - that first screaming run will test your drag and reflexes. They're also premium table fare with firm, white meat that's perfect for steaks or sushi. The key to landing wahoo is high-speed trolling with wire leaders - those razor-sharp teeth will cut through anything else. Run your lures fast and keep your drag tight because these fish don't give up easy.
