If you are going to do something well, you should do it with the professionals. So if you want to go offshore fishing for some huge Marlin, then you need to book a trip with Challenger Charter Fishing Bermuda today.

Father and son duo, Captain Alan Card and Ian Card, look forward to welcoming you on board. Capt. Alan has over 4 decades of experience in the charter business, and Ian has been working beside him for over 2 decades.

Hop on board their 40' Gamefisherman 'Challenger'. This beautiful boat is fast and can reach speeds of 30 knots. Her twin engines will get you to the fishing grounds before you know it. This vessel is well-kept and clean, has a Tuna tower, and a large cockpit with a fighting chair – when you are reeling in a big game you'll be relieved to have this on board!

To help with the fishing there is also a fishfinder on board. This, paired with the captain's extensive knowledge of the area, will make sure your day is productive.

These guys are experts for a reason – Capt. Alan personally holds the World Record for a 42.5 lb Blackfin Tuna on a 50 lb test line, as well as reeling in 6 of the largest Blue Marlin in Bermuda's waters weighing over 1100 lb. Ian holds the Bermuda Record for the largest Mako Shark, weighing an impressive 821 lb. Although it's unlikely you'll reel in a Marlin, Tuna, or Shark this big, you'll definitely have a better chance of catching one with this crew.

Also expect to catch Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and Red Snapper. Some species you'll be able to keep, which the captain will fillet for you.

Included in the price are all fishing rods, reels, bait, and lures. You'll be using top-quality gear that won't let you down when reeling in your trophy catch, personal best, or even first-ever fish!

Book now for an unforgettable trip. This dynamic duo can't wait to welcome you onto the Challenger and help you have an awesome fishing trip.

beautiful day on the water.
Full Day Trip on July 17, 20266 adults

Capt Alan Card has forgotten more about fishing than i'll ever know. What a great guy! He knows the water, the bottom and the way fish think. First mate Ian is the Captain's som they've been a team for 31 years and with them was Tyler. Captain's grandson. Great tradition! Couldn't have been more helpful and they work! As Ian said, they get paid to catch fish. No one likes to end the day withour a fish, but there are a lot if ways you can get there, and this crew made us comfortable, taught us a lot about marlin fishing in Bermuda, even taught me a terrific knot! Would definitely Challenger Sportfishing Ted Hynes

exceeded high expectations
3/4 Day Trip on June 11, 20262 adults

My wife, a freind and I had an excellent day fishing with Challenger Fishing in Bermuda. Captain Alan and Ian were knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard throughout the trip to put us on fish. We landed a 60-pound yellowfin tuna and had plenty of action along the way. What made the trip especially enjoyable was how much we learned about Bermuda's local fishery, fishing techniques, and the unique marine environment around the island. Alan and Ian were happy to share their expertise and made the experience both productive and educational. I highly recommend Challenger Fishing to anyone visiting Bermuda who wants a first-class offshore fishing experience.

Reported catch:

Amazing charter!
3/4 Day Trip on August 11, 20264 adults

What a great day on the water! It started off slow as we trolled along the banks but we found fish a few hours in. 19 Mahi Mahi later, we ran out of bait and continued to troll. Captain Alan and first mate Ian were great! Knoweledgable, fun to be around, and a boy what a comfortable boat they have! I look forward to getting out again with them in the future!

Rough day but a great one!
Full Day Trip on July 11, 20266 adults

Marine forecast was a bit iffy for the day and Alan wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into (and gove us the chance to reschedule or back out). The water was rough, but the day was great! Three generation of the Card family were a well oiled machine and found us the fish - landed three wahoo, three barracuda, and released a beautiful white marlin. Literally a dream come true for my brother and I. Thank you Alan, Ian, and Tyler for a stellar day.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
