Miss Joan is a 38’ custom Topaz offshore sportfishing boat. It is equipped with air conditioning, a galley, dinette seating, and a head with a shower on board. All the latest electronics are fitted on board and there is plenty of storage for your belongings and your catch. The boat has the speed and range to reach the best fishing spots quickly, meaning you can spend more time fishing!

All the fishing equipment will be provided for you on board. Capt. Lew will have rods and reels ready for you, as well as live bait. After a productive day on the water, he’ll be happy to clean and fillet your catch if you want to take it home to the table or to fill the freezer.

Capt. Lew offers both bottom fishing and trolling trips. Trolling trips tend to take place further out offshore, targeting species such as Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, and Cobia. Bottom fishing trips take place around the reefs and ledges, targeting Snapper, Grouper, and Triggerfish.

Don’t hesitate to bring your kids with you, and make some amazing new family memories. Open boat trips are generally held on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Private charters are available on the other days. All trips can take up to 6 anglers.

Miss Joan Deep Sea Fishing will take you out on an exciting Florida fishing adventure, so book now and get ready to have fun!
