Private overnight deep sea fishing charter for six guestsLuxury vessel equipped for stargazing and ocean relaxationExpert crew provides toptier maritime adventure experience
There's something magical about being miles offshore when the sun sets and the ocean stretches endlessly in every direction. This private overnight deep sea charter with Wahoo Charters takes you beyond the typical day trip limits, where the biggest fish roam and the action never stops. You'll have the entire boat to yourselves for up to 6 anglers, giving you the freedom to fish at your own pace and chase whatever's biting. The crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll put you on fish while you enjoy the serenity of sleeping under a blanket of stars. It's the kind of trip that serious anglers dream about and casual fishermen never forget.
Your adventure starts in the afternoon when you'll board the luxury vessel and get settled in for the night ahead. The boat is equipped with comfortable sleeping quarters, so you can rest between fishing sessions or just enjoy the gentle rock of the ocean. As you head offshore, the crew will brief you on the game plan and start rigging lines for the evening bite. The real magic happens as the sun goes down – that's when the pelagics come alive and start feeding aggressively. You'll fish through the golden hour, into the night under the stars, and wake up to prime morning conditions. The crew handles all the navigation and safety while you focus on what you came for – hooking into world-class gamefish in some of the most productive offshore waters.
This charter runs a serious spread of high-speed trolling lures designed to trigger strikes from fast-moving pelagics. The crew sets up a combination of ballyhoo, cedar plugs, and custom lures that have proven deadly on these species over the years. You'll be fishing with top-quality tackle – think 30 and 50-pound class rods that can handle the blistering runs these fish are famous for. The captain knows how to read the water, watching for temperature breaks, current edges, and bird activity that signal where the fish are stacked up. When something hits, you'll know it immediately. The drag will scream and the fight is on. The crew is right there to coach you through the battle, clear other lines, and make sure you land your fish safely. They'll also switch up techniques based on conditions – sometimes that means dropping baits deep or working structure if the trolling bite slows down.
Mahi Mahi, or dorado as some folks call them, are pure dynamism on the end of your line. These fish are famous for their electric colors – brilliant greens, blues, and golds that light up when they're angry. They typically run 10 to 30 pounds out here, though bulls over 40 pounds show up regularly. Mahi are most active during warmer months and they love floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks. What makes them such a blast to catch is their acrobatic fighting style – expect multiple jumps, long runs, and plenty of headshaking. They're also fantastic table fare, which makes landing a few even sweeter.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the deep sea, capable of hitting 60 mph when they want to. These fish are built like torpedoes with razor-sharp teeth that can slice through wire like butter. They typically range from 20 to 60 pounds in these waters, with occasional giants pushing 80 pounds or more. Wahoo are year-round residents but peak during cooler months when baitfish are abundant. The strike is explosive – one second your lure is swimming along, the next it's screaming toward the horizon. Their initial run can peel off 200 yards of line before you even realize what hit. The meat is white, flaky, and considered some of the best eating in the ocean.
Great Barracuda bring attitude and aggression that few fish can match. These apex predators patrol the offshore waters looking for easy meals, and they'll crush a well-presented lure without hesitation. They average 15 to 25 pounds but can reach 40 pounds or more. Barracuda are visual hunters with incredible eyesight, so they're often caught on bright, flashy lures that trigger their predatory instincts. The fight is explosive and unpredictable – they'll jump, run, and try every trick in the book to throw your hook. While some anglers release them, smaller barracuda make excellent eating when prepared correctly.
Yellowfin Tuna are the marathoners of the fishing world, combining size, speed, and endurance in one package. These fish can weigh anywhere from 30 to over 200 pounds in offshore waters, with the bigger fish showing up during specific seasons and conditions. Yellowfin are incredibly strong and will test your tackle and technique to the limit. They make long, powerful runs and fight all the way to the boat. The crew knows how to target them using a combination of trolling and chunk baiting, depending on what the fish prefer that day. The meat is sushi-grade quality, deep red and rich in flavor.
Blackfin Tuna are the smaller cousins of the yellowfin but don't let their size fool you – these fish pack serious punch for their 10 to 25-pound frames. They're incredibly fast and acrobatic, often jumping multiple times during the fight. Blackfin are year-round residents and excellent targets when larger species are being finicky. They school up in big numbers, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. They're also outstanding table fare with dark, rich meat that's perfect for sashimi or grilling.
This overnight charter represents the pinnacle of offshore fishing – you get exclusive access to prime fishing grounds, personalized attention from an experienced crew, and the chance to target multiple trophy species in a single trip. The luxury accommodations mean you can fish hard, rest comfortably, and wake up ready for another session on the
Thunnus AtlanticusBlackfin are the scrappy little brothers of the tuna family, usually running 10-20 pounds and maxing around 40. These dark-backed fighters prefer warm water over 68°F near continental shelves and offshore structure. Peak season in most areas runs fall through spring, especially around the Keys. What makes blackfin fun? Pound-for-pound, they fight harder than any tuna and make excellent table fare fresh or canned. They school with skipjack and follow baitfish close to shore. Key trick: scale down your tackle - use 30lb fluorocarbon leaders and 5/0 circle hooks. Their eyesight is sharp, and heavy gear will spook them in clear water.
Sphyraena BarracudaGreat barracuda are the ocean's top ambush predators, typically running 2-4 feet but capable of hitting 6 feet and 100+ pounds. These silver missiles patrol coral reefs, grass flats, and mangrove edges in warm, clear water from the surface down to about 100 feet. They're around year-round in tropical waters, with spring spawning bringing bigger schools together. What draws anglers? That explosive strike and the aerial show they put on when hooked, though their stamina fades quick. The fight's intense but short. One tip that works: use a wire leader and landing net - those teeth are like razors, and big ones will jump right at the boat.
Coryphaena HippurusThese golden beauties are some of the most colorful fish you'll hook, with brilliant blues and greens that put on a light show when they come out of the water. Most run 15-30 pounds, though we've seen them push 50+ on good days. They love hanging around floating debris and weed lines in warm offshore waters, usually in the top 100 feet. Peak season runs spring through fall when water temps climb above 70°F. What makes mahi special? They fight hard, taste amazing grilled fresh, and those colors are something you'll never forget. Pro tip: when you hook one, keep the boat moving and look for others nearby - they often travel in small schools and you might double up.
Acanthocybium SolandriWahoo are the speed demons of deep water, hitting 60 mph and averaging 3-5 feet long. These silver torpedoes with blue stripes cruise open ocean waters, especially around oil rigs and drop-offs in 60+ feet. Best fishing happens during cooler months when they move closer to shore. What makes wahoo worth targeting? That initial run will test your drag like nothing else, and the meat is some of the finest you'll eat - mild, white, and perfect for the grill. They're called "ono" in Hawaii, meaning delicious, for good reason. My advice: troll fast at 12-15 knots with wire leaders - those razor teeth will slice through mono in a heartbeat.
Thunnus AlbacaresYellowfin are the workhorses of offshore fishing, averaging 60 pounds but capable of reaching 440. These torpedo-shaped fish cruise the upper 300 feet of blue water at speeds up to 50 mph. They're around year-round in warm offshore waters, with peak action during summer months. What makes yellowfin special? They're absolute bulldogs once hooked, and the sashimi-grade meat is second only to bluefin for table fare. These warm-blooded fish travel in schools and cover huge distances following baitfish. Best technique: when trolling doesn't work and you're marking fish deep, pull in the spread and start jigging. Sometimes they want that vertical presentation to commit.
