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.

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 13, 20252 adults2 children
Another 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.

We 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

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 20254 adults
Booked with Captain Mark through the site. Had a great time. Nice boat. Very stable. Air-conditioned cabin. I’m 6’4” and I could stand to use the head no problem. Great first mate Joe. Four of us went and each caught between four or five fish. Total of 23 on a 4 hour trip. Had a great day on the water. Highly recommend.

Had a great time on the water with Capt. Mark and first mate Joe. The boat was clean and comfortable. Because of the weather we had to stay in the bay, but Capt. Mark and Joe kept the sharks biting. Kids had a blast and we all enjoyed our time! Thank you guys! We will be back!

Fantastic Day
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 23, 20255 adults
Capt. Mark and his mate Joe gave our family a great day of fishing. Beginners (at best) but we were able to catch 5 sand sharks during our afternoon on the bay. Could not have been a better time. Thank you both and we will always remember this trip. Hope to come back next year!
