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.

    First Tuna for my 7 year old nephew!

    Full Day Trip on August 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Truly an amazing father son duo with over 100 years of experience fishing these waters and working together for 35 years! Captain Alan was truly amazing and the boat is very well equipped and all equipment is like new. The first mate (Alan’s son) takes so much pride in his work and is always managing the lines. My 7 year old nephew was a little nervous but he knew exactly what to do to help him land his first tuna. I would highly recommend them and we will be back for future trips!

    Rough day but a great one!

    Full Day Trip on July 11, 2026 • 6 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.

    Caught Soooo Many fish

    Full Day Trip on September 7, 2026 • 4 adults

    my husband‘s and sons had a great time. Great boat great location. They were catching things when a lot of the other boats are one hour weren’t catching anything. Nothing went to waste. If we couldn’t eat it the captain was able to sell the catch to local restaurants. it was a very good trip. Be sure to take anti nausea meds before the trip if uiure prone to sea sickness

    Great Trip

    3/4 Day Trip on April 19, 2025 • 2 adults

    My son and I had a fantastic trip with Alan and Ian. They are great guys and complete professionals when it comes to fishing. They were obviously extremely knowledgeable about the fishing grounds, their equipment and their boat. They also made my son and I feel very welcome and comfortable and were great to talk to. Ian was an excellent and patient teacher, especially with my son. He worked extremely hard to maximize our chances of catching fish, keeping 5 lines running all the time and regularly checking them for weed and adjusting them (we were trolling). His efforts and expertise paid off and we had a very successful day catching Wahoo, Yellowfin and Mahi Mahi. The boat is also just about perfect. Fast, plenty big enough and lots of seating in the shade. I recommend Challenger to anyone looking to maximize their chances of catching fish while also having a really pleasant day on the water with two great guys on a great boat.

    Great day, amzing crew

    3/4 Day Trip on June 7, 2025 • 2 adults

    Alan and Ian took out for a 3/4 day trip, and my son and I could not have been happier with everything. Alan has been finshing Bermuda his entire life, and he knows what's hitting, and where to find them. We landed 4 yellowfin in total, but one of them was over 100lb and another was 70lb. What a great fight both fish put up. Ian was amazing in helping us land the fish. We're already planning on next trip to Bermuda, and Challenger Charters will absolutely be taking us out again. Thank you Alan and Ian!
