Come join the captain and crew of Gone Fishin' Sport Fishing Charters and let them help you make lasting memories with family and friends on your next fishing adventure.

Captain Mark Elliott has been in the charter business for over five decades and has instilled this same passion and dedication for fishing into his son, Captain Mark Elliott Jr. Capt. Mark Jr has been the first mate on Gone Fishin' since the age of 8. As soon as he was 18, he officially joined his father to carry on his legacy.

Together, the two of them have over 70 years of experience fishing the waters of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. With their combined know-how, rest assured that these two will do everything possible to make sure your experience is unforgettable.

The Gone Fishin' V is a 44' Henriques with twin 700 HP diesel engines and 600 gallons of fuel to provide the range and speed needed to find the fish. With an oversized 170-square-foot cockpit, transom door, cockpit helm, and room for hundreds of pounds of ice and fish, the Gone Fishin' V is truly a fishing machine.

From fishing for Black Drum and Striped Bass in Delaware Bay to targeting various pelagic species such as Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo in the Atlantic Ocean, this boat has everything you need to take on your next adventure.

You won't have to worry about the hassle of bringing your own equipment either. The Gone Fishin' V has a number of top-quality Star Rods accompanied by Daiwa reels to choose from.

Come on down and let Capt. Mark and Capt. Mark Jr take you on your next fishing adventure!

Don't miss out! Stay up to date with Capt. Mark and the Gone Fishin' V by visiting our social media pages.

Note: Due to the increased price of fuel, the cost for trips unfortunately had to be increased for the 2024 season. We intend to change trip prices back to their original fares as soon as fuel prices return back to normal.

3/4 Day Trip on June 13, 20266 adults

Joe and Mark were great. They kept us on top of the fish. As soon as you took a fish out of the water, Joe would be there to unhook and rebait you like a machine. Highly recommend
