PV Hook Up invites you to head out on a luxury sport fisher with everything you need to go after big game fish, and a deluxe cabin to get out of the sun.

The captain aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like trolling and drift fishing. You’re looking at 8 to 12-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Jack Crevalle, Tuna, Marlin, and Bonito, depending on the weather and time of year.

You’ll be fishing from a 40 ft Sportfisher with enough room for up to 8 anglers at any time. It includes a toilet, kitchen, bed, AC, and ice box. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.

No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip. Kids older than five years are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure.

Drinks and snacks are not included, so make sure you bring everything you want to eat for the day.

Book your trip now and hit the water with PV Hook Up – 40 ft Sportfisher.

12 hour Deep Sea Fishing

Great Captain, boat and deckhands. Terrible fishing, but not due to them or anything they could control.

VERIFIED

We chartered a 12 hour offshore trip for Marlin, Sailfish and Dorado. The Captain and 2 deckhands were awesome and spoke good English. The boat was really nice with a good AC and excellent equipment as well as a nice bathroom. The fishing that day was terrible, which was not for a lack of effort on their behalf trying. I don't know if the fish were just not there, weren't biting because of the moon phase or what, but we caught ONE fish all day. Luckily it was a nice 140 lb Blue Marlin. We had 6-7 lines in the water all day and tried everything. That being said, I would highly recommend both the crew, the equipment and boat and wouldn't hesitate to charter them again. There is a reason it's called fishing and not catching.
