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!

Wonderful Day on the Water
Full Day Trip – Offshore on May 20, 20264 adults
Captain Kenny and First Mate Tom were great and worked hard to put us on fish. It was a tough day for all the charter boats but we were able to catch nice Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi and our limit of Tilefish. Everyone enjoy the day and had the opportunity to catch several fish. The Carissma is a very nice boat with room on the fly bridge for everyone to enjoy the views and site fish. The boat's interior was very comfortable and air conditioned for those needing a break from the heat and humidity. The fishing equipment was first class, and Captain Kenny and First Mate Tom were great at explainijg what we were doing and why. I really enjoyed talking about fishing with them and learn alot from their expertise. I could not have been more pleased with our experience.
Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Great experience
Full Day Trip – Offshore on June 5, 20264 adults
The four of us on the trip all caught a nice Mahi Mahi. The tuna were very evasive on this trip. We were one fish shy of catching our limit on the tile fish. We caught one black bass also and got to reel a shark up next to boat. Overall was a great trip and the boat crew worked hard to put us on the fish and fun to be on the boat with. We are already planning next years trip.

Book It, The Best Fishing Move You Can Make!
8 Hour Trip – Deep Drop Offshore on June 25, 20256 adults
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.

Catching, not fishing
Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) on June 24, 20255 adults
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!
Reported catch:
Little Tunny (False Albacore)
Bluefish (Tailor)
