The Purple Jet Fleet of vessels are fully outfitted with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Featuring top-notch navigational and fishfinding electronics to build up a clear image of where the big fish are hiding. The Purple Jet has all the comforts of home, from 4 spacious bunks to a restroom and an air-conditioned cabin. The larger vessels have spacious cabins, plenty of outside seating, the only thing missing is you!

Check the bite close to shore and get your hands on Striped Bass, Bluefish, Flounder, and Seabass. Head a bit further out and target Cod, Sharks, and other species that patrol the offshore waters.

But if you are looking for something a bit more extreme, let the crew take you to the canyons up to 100 miles out. There, you will be able to hone your angling skills and try chunking and trolling for Yellowfin, Bigeye, and Albacore Tuna, as well as Swordfish and Mahi Mahi.

All gear, tackle, and bait will be provided for your party. All you have to do is pack your lunch and drinks and show up!

    Great With Kids

    Half Day Trip up to 13 Passengers on August 15, 2024 • 9 adults • 5 children

    Capt. Steve was great with our group of 5 kids. He put us on fish quickly, and we caught a wide variety. In total we caught about 30 fish in a 4-hour trip. He taught the kids the different types of fish, bait and techniques. It was a great experience.

    Full day trip with Captain John and Eddie

    Full Day Trip – Deep Sea on November 3, 2019 • 6 adults

    We had a great time! Captain John and Eddie were great. We enjoyed being in their company. Having the comfortable cabin was a plus! Eddie did a great job setting us up for some great fish fights. But in the end he closed the deal with his gaff.

    choppy seas handled beautifully by the captain and Kyle

    Half Day Trip up to 13 Passengers on June 6, 2026 • 8 adults • 3 children

    we were catching blackfish just about every time we dropped our lines. Unfortunately, the ocean was a bit choppy that day but the captain and crew did a wonderful job making it an awesome and fun experience. I would do it again in a minute. I would urge others to try it.

    WHAT A TRIP!!!

    Half Day Trip up to 13 Passengers on July 28, 2025 • 8 adults • 1 child

    Such a great day from the captain Cole and deckhand Nick, to the weather, to the boat, and of course the FISH! So many fish we kept Nick running the whole trip, and he always had a grin and great attitude. The ceviche and fish tacos were amazing the next couple days!

    Hurricane Erin didn’t stop us

    Full Day Trip – Deep Sea on August 19, 2025 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Even though a hurricane stopped us from going out on the ocean we still had a good time. Caught some fish and hung out on the river. Appreciate Captain John and first mate Eddie accommodating us. Will 100 percent be back for another trip

I started fishing with my father as a little boy and continued as a captain after graduating from the University of San Diego in 1990. In 1997, the first Purple Jet arrived and we have been putting smiles on customers' faces ever since! The Queen Mary Open Party Fishing boat became part of the fleet in 2011.
