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!
