Not your ordinary fishing charter! Carrisma Sportfishing go out of their way to include you in all parts of your fishing trip, from helping in baiting hooks, setting lines, and gaffing fish! You won’t just crank on a rod in a chair on their boat – they want you to be a part of the full experience! Captain Kenny and the crew pride themselves on customer satisfaction and want you to have the saltwater experience of a lifetime.

You will ride in comfort on the “Carrisma,” a 55’ Ocean Sportfisher. The boat is super comfortable with 2 zones of air conditioning, full kitchen, full bathroom, and everything you need plus more to make you feel at home. The boat is also powered by twin 735 HP Detroit engines and can reach your fishing spot fast, considering its size.

There’s lots of different fish to target, depending on the trip you choose and the weather. Shorter trips will take you on the pursuit of Mackerel, Bluefish, or Amberjack. When you head out offshore, the catch gets bigger, faster, and much more aggressive once it’s hooked. You’ll need all of your strength (and a little bit of luck) to reel in Marlin, Sailfish, and different types of Tuna.

The crew has an extensive array of tackle that supports different techniques you’ll try out. This comes included in the price, as well as your fishing license. When it comes to your snacks and drinks, you should bring some along for the ride.

If you have any special requests or needs, please contact the captain for arrangements prior to booking. Carrisma Sportfishing will do its best to make your day with them the one you’ll never forget!

8 Hour Trip – Deep Drop Offshore

Book It, The Best Fishing Move You Can Make!

VERIFIED

First, the Carrisma is an outstanding fishing platform. Plenty of room on-deck for our group and even more for relaxing in the cool AC. Kenny hooked us up with Dink and Tristen for 8hrs of bottom fishing. Dink put us on the fish… everywhere he stopped. OMG does that captain know his spots. Not only that, he’s got an uncanny sense for what the fish are doing and when they’re doing it. Dink - Thanks for your knowledge/experience and willingness to share. If you want an enjoyable fishing experience, just go ahead and book this one. You may not catch as many as we did but it wouldn’t surprise me if you did.

Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM)

Catching, not fishing

VERIFIED

Had a great time doing a nearshore charter on the Carrisma with Captain Dink and First Mate Tristan! Despite some stubborn fish not wanting to bite, they still put us on 20+ fish, Spanish, and blues. Along with an Albie, that they had seen would be in the area days prior, even had their eyes out for some Mahi. They definitely didn’t hold back any information, good company and taught us a bunch. Also fairly certain we outfished every other nearshore charter near us. If you wanna go catching, go with Dink and Tristan!

The captain and first mate were both very personable and knowledgeable. He over heard that I like bottom fishing so after we were done trolling he asked if we would like to go for some flounder. Caught a lot of fish. Would definitely book with them again

The captain and mate are great guys. Fun to be around and very professional. The boat was very clean and extremely comfortable for an all day trip. The trip was scheduled for Saturday, but had to be rescheduled for Monday due to the weather. My dad and I throughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend this charter.

Thank you for the kind words and look forward to getting you back out there for a better day soon. They say you can lead a horse to water, but not making it drink and Surely can’t make a fish bite if they’re not in the mood to feed. Thank you for understanding and best wishes to you and your father.
