Fishing has this wonderful tendency to be both extremely calming and a total rush of adrenaline. Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures understand this really well and they’ll melt your stress away with some reel-screaming action offshore!

Join Captain Scott Housel aboard his 31’ Contender. She’s a center console, meaning there’s plenty of room to move around for you and up to 6 of your fishing buddies. You won’t be sluggish, as there are twin 300 HP Suzuki engines – you can cruise at a maximum speed of 52 knots.

Capt. Scott will take you after some of the most prestigious and toughest fish off the coast of Florida. Get ready to troll for Kingfish, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, and Mahi Mahi, helped by the onboard outriggers. If you want to troll deeper waters, just use the downriggers provided as well. Anglers who prefer live bait will be happy to know that there’s a live bait well onboard – your baitfish won’t get floppy!

You’ll also hit underwater reefs and wrecks, both natural and man-made, where Groupers and Snappers are bountiful. If you’re a spearfisherman Capt. Scott will take you to red-hot waters, but that’s only for advanced anglers.

The captain will supply you with all the necessary fishing gear, as well as drinks to keep your energy up. There’s no minimum age for kids but parents should contact the captain in advance so he can prepare smaller vests. You are encouraged to release all Billfish, though you can keep it if you want (and if it falls within local regulations).

Book a trip and climb aboard for an unforgettable fishing excursion in the gorgeous offshore waters of Florida with Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures!

Really good relaxing half day with good fishing and crew.

Half Day Trip (PM) on November 24, 2025 • 6 adults

The whole trip was great. The pick up and instructions to the dock were good, even an English tourist could find it! Capt. Scott and crew Travis were very helpful and chatty from the off, very informative. The boat and equipment was great and well explained. Being novices to this type of fishing the experience was amazing all 4 off us enjoyed the half day trip. Capt. Scott and Travis explained techniques very well and were very patient with a bunch of novices, we all caught fish and had a throughly good outing. Would definitely book again on the next Florida visit, thanks guys for a great day.

I highly recommend Sudden Strike for your fishing trip! I took my kids out today and everyone had an amazing time. Scott and Travis were both awesome. we caught a ton of fish and had great conversation all day. They made sure to keep everyone fishing and worked hard all day to make sure we could have a great day on the water.

Afternoon Near Shore/Inshore 4 hour on August 6, 2025 • 6 adults

Had a great experience with Sudden Strike. Captain Scott and Travis worked hard to put us on fish. Both are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient as they instructed some of our party that had never fished before. The boat and all equipment is great quality and in excellent condition. we all enjoyed the conversation and learning experience. Will definitely book with Sudden Strike again.

Nonstop Action with Sudden Strike – On the Fish in Minutes and Loaded Up for Dinner

Half Day – Deepwater on December 24, 2025 • 4 adults

Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures delivered an outstanding deep sea trip and is absolutely worth booking again. The crew consistently put us on fish 15–20 miles out and made the whole experience easy and fun.
