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!

Kristina HiserRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHundreds of Blue
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenAnother amazing trip with the Gone Fishin crew. This is the second trip for our family & this year was even more spectacular than last year. We caught over a hundred bluefish & some Spanish Mackeral & never stopped catching fish the entire trip! The kids loved it. First mate Joe was exceptional, knowledgeable & absolutely patient & kind & never failed to cast a line or remove a hook from a fish & let the kids throw it back. Joe fileted our Spanish Mackeral, so we could take home & cook. Every minute of this trip was fantastic. Super clean boat, comfortable, air conditioning & a wonderful captain.
Craig Spring5.0Verified6 hour trip.
3/4 Day Trip on July 18, 2025 • 3 adultsWe had an amazing experience today aboard the Gone Fishin’! Captain Mark and first mate Joe were extremely professional and proficient in every aspect. We were put on the fish right away and the action never stopped! The vessel was clean and the cabin was well appointed, with a/c to boot. 10 out of 10 for this crew and our experience. We WILL be back! Thanks again for a fantastic day! Craig, Joe & Jeff

I took my 17-yr-old son and his friend out and we all had the best time! The boys wanted to do something exciting so we went out to fish for sharks and it was amazing. They caught several and the thrill was big and they had to work hard to pull them in. Mark and Joe were wonderful with the boys teaching them and making sure they had a great time. We all loved it and I highly recommend this charter.
we have fished with this team a few times now and each was a wonderful expedience. the boat is comforable and clean. the captain amd crew are first rate / cant do enough for you to enrich the experience . most imprtantly - caught a bunch of flounder and sea bass on a 6 hr trip including numerous keepers. a lot of action and great fun day
I never take the time to write a review, but felt I needed to after taking this charter. Captain Mark and 1st mate Joe were super accomodating. it was the best charter I have ever booked and the boat was large and super comfortable. I highly recommend this charter.
11 fish in 4 hours, Captain and first mate were excellent, we would go with them again.
Party of 5 caught over 80 fish! would definitely do it again!
