The captain’s 35’ Shearwater Express offshore sport fishing boat is built for luxury, speed, and function. Powered by twin 350 HP Yamaha v8 four stroke outboards, she can easily cruise at 30 knots getting us to the fishing grounds fast, without getting beat up along the way. She boasts top-of-the-line navigation electronics, a 100-gallon bait tank, an uber amount of rod holders, plenty of soft seating, four bunks, a head, and a kitchenette. The boat also has a full Tuna tower with controls for spotting hungry fish and a flybridge.
The species you’ll be targeting are Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, Mahi Mahi, Rockfish, and Halibut. You can use light and heavy tackle to bottom fish, deep sea fish, jig, kite fish, as well as spearfish. Feel free to keep your catch if you want to. The captain welcomes kids aboard but they have to be 12 or older.
Your trip includes all the fishing gear including that for spearfishing as well as live bait and lures. Captain Sam also provides catch cleaning, snacks, water drinks, and water. Just bring your licenses and you’ll be ready to start the adventure.
