There will surely be many first-rate species that will give you a fun time catching them, so come aboard and enjoy your stay on the water!

You’ll start your trip on a 42’ Razor Cat Catamaran boat. It runs on four 435 HP Suzuki outboard engines and can sit up to 6 guests. For navigation, it uses GPS, a fishfinder, a radio, and a radar. The boat features a toilet, multimedia system, and an ice-box. The onboard fishing gear includes outriggers, downriggers, and two 150-gallon live bait tanks. There will also be a first mate present.

You can go after Amberjack, Mahi, Blue Marlin, Goliath Grouper, Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, and many more respectable species. There are many ways to fish as well, so you’ll be bottom and deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, as well as popping. You can keep the fish you catch and kids are welcome to join the trip.

The captain will provide you with all the tackle, live bait, and lures, and will also clean and bag your catch. You should just bring your licenses, food, and drinks before you depart. Keep in mind the fuel is not included in the price.
