Your journey begins on 'Dunn Deal', a restored 42' Custom yacht saltwater fishing boat. She runs on a twin 355 HP Cummins engine giving the boat a very fast cruise speed getting you to the fishing grounds in no time at all. The vessel has plenty of room for a fun day on the water. She's rigged with the latest top-of-the-line navigation electronics and fishing equipment. The boat has many amenities including but not limited to an A/C and heated cabin, microwave, 32' tv with DVD player, Keurig coffee maker, Tuna green stick, and clean onboard bathroom.

There's a great variety of fish for you to catch in these productive waters, with Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Grouper, and Marlin being just some of the species you can target. Kids are more than welcome to join the trip, so why not bring the whole family and have a wonderful time together in nature? You're free to keep the fish you catch and there are cleaners at the marine available to clean your catch.

Captain Shaun will supply you with all the fishing supplies you will need during the day, so you shouldn't worry about equipment at all. He also has a trained mate on board to help you throughout the day while fishing that works for tips (20% is customary). He's also got you covered for fishing licenses, which means you'll just need to pack your favorite food and drinks before you start your journey. Keep in mind that spray sunscreen is not allowed on board.

Dunn Deal is the Reel Deal
Offshore Gulfstream- Mahi,Tuna on July 15, 20264 adults

Captain Shaun and First Mate Clayton were incredible. The fish weren't really hitting for any of the Captains the day we went fishing. Captain Shaun and Clayton did EVERYTHING they could to make sure we caught a many fish as possible and we did. Only one boat beat us by 20lbs of fish, one boat only came in with three fish, we caught 27 and had an amazing day on the water. Captain Shaun and Clayton know the waters and how to get the fish. We are booking another trip next year and going for it again. Many THANKS to Captain Shaun and First Mate Clayton for an experience we will never forget and the upcoming new adventure!!! Book with Dunn Deal, you will NOT regret it.

Great Day Fishing!
Offshore Gulfstream- Mahi,Tuna on April 18, 20262 adults

We be just got done with an off shore all day Trip with Dunn Deal Sport fishing and we couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Shaun suggested getting an earlier start and glad we did as we crushed the black fin tuna in the early hours. The boat was comfortable and well maintained. Clay was a fantastic first mate that helped us get the fish in the boat! We caught Black Fin Tuna, Sea Bass, Red Snapper, Sand Tiger Shark to name a few! Book with these guys and have a killer day!

Non Stop Catching
Fall Live bait for tuna and kings on November 25, 20256 adults

Our day of fishing was fun, action packed and exceeded every expectation. Despite the wind, kind of rough water and a little sea sickness, we were beyond pleased with our trip. Captain Shaun and First Mate Matt really delivered. From the time the first bait hit the water we were hooked up, often times with 3-4 fish on at the same time. Shaun and Matt were absolute beasts, working like mad to keep the action coming. in short order our limit was a “Dunn Deal”. They were prepared and willing to keep us fishing for other species, but due to sore arms (from reeling in big fish) and a couple of sore stomachs, we chose to head back to land. We are so appreciative of their efforts and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Captain Shaun, Matt and Dunn Deal Sportfishing. The Lord is good and I hope he blesses us with the opportunity to fish with them again.

Offshore Gulfstream- Mahi,Tuna on September 27, 20254 adults

Only been on 4 deep sea trips, by far this was the best even though the weather kinda sucked limited out on Mahi by 10:30. Continued to fish ended up catching a sailfish, and releasing, great day
