Capt. Francisco is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like heavy tackle trolling, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 4 to 7-hour trips, you can target species like Marlin, Dolphin, Wahoo, and Barracuda, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your boat for the day will be a 53’ Hatteras that fits up to 12 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a toilet and ice box. All the necessary fishing gear is included in the price of your trip. It’s up to you is to use it as best you can.

When it comes to fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain so you don’t have to worry about it. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated.

You’ll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
